I lunched on spicy black bean soup and an Arnold Thin with garlic herb Laughing Cow cheese spread on top.  In some field somewhere, the cows were laughing at me when I tried to spread the cheese.  I made a huge mess.  Cheese on me, cheese on my desk, cheese on my recycle bin when [...]

I had a bowl of Mighty Bites for breakfast.  This is Jared’s favorite breakfast cereal.  Since I’m following a relaxed vegetarian diet for my Challenge, milk and milk products are ok.  Have patience with me please.  Later today, I’m going to be researching how animals benefit from a person’s vegetarian diet.  This will include milk [...]

I snacked on a salad chock full of veggies throughout the afternoon. I wrote a card to my grandmother and fell in love with the stick figure corgi that I drew for her. Not a good picture of my outfit, but at least you can see my shoes.  I’ve been saving these shoes all winter.  [...]

The Boston Vegetarian Society is a great resource to learn How to Go Vegetarian or Vegan.  It’s my starting point for these 5 days of vegetarian eating and food information. Just because I’m challenging myself to eat like a vegetarian for a week doesn’t mean I can’t treat myself.  My indulgent oats contained: 1 cup [...]

As I’m posting on February 21st, I need to pause to say… Happy Birthday Jared!!! Now back to my regularly scheduled post… Jared and I got to Saratoga on Saturday afternoon, a few hours later than planned.  We had just enough time to grab sandwiches from Panera on the way to the rink to watch [...]

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week February 21-27, 2010 Being a blogger, I think this is particularly important: The Media, Body Image, and Eating Disorders “Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a variety of factors, including physical, psychological, interpersonal, and social issues. Media images that help to create cultural definitions of beauty and attractiveness [...]

I needed a Green Super Food protein bar to make it through my Friday afternoon at work. I was rushed when I got home and didn’t get to my OnDemand yoga.  But don’t worry, I will respond to comments and let you know what workouts I enjoy.  We had a group dinner at the Franklin [...]

I’m getting ready to drive to Saratoga, NY to meet several family members.  (Miles is coming too; dogs are allowed in the hotel!)  It’s my brother’s SENIOR hockey game for Skidmore College. I’ll post later this afternoon and recap last night’s delicious dinner at The Franklin in South Boston.  Stay tuned….

I slathered an Arnold Thin with cream cheese and cranberry apple butter.  I tend to overdo toppings, but whatev… this was a tasty breakfast. Jared always saves our leftover coffee so I can enjoy an iced version the next day.  I think I like ice coffee more than hot coffee! I’d like to call this [...]

I snacked on a Reese’s and an unpictured Clif bar this afternoon. For dinner, I finished the rest of Tuesday’s batch of chicken by adding a few small pieces to my plate of cheese tortellini and mixed greens. And seeing the world through rose colored glasses, Jared and I each had a glass of Rose [...]
