Yesterday I felt like I was kicking ass and taking names.  I crossed a bunch of things off of my To Do list.  I ran errands.  I took a spin class and went out to dinner with friends. Today was a completely different story… After running yesterday’s errands that forced me to crisscross my Boston [...]

I fell in love with NYC’s Le Pain Quotidien.  In fact, during my 3 day trip, I ate there twice. One giant cup of Cafe au Lait please! I was also obsessed with the Tartines, petite open faced sandwiches that made the most delicious and filling lunches both times I dined. Natalie enjoyed the Ricotta [...]

I had a great day yesterday.  But was it healthy or unhealthy?  Hmm… When I finally rolled out of bed (I slept A LOT later than everyone else in the house), I had a cup of coffee and a raisin bagel. I spent some time repacking and organizing my crap stuff that I spread all [...]

I love going out to brunch.  To me, brunching means sleeping late, ordering a delicious meal, chatting with friends and trying to remember the shenanigans of the night before, and sipping on an alcoholic beverage to cure the hangover. For our brunch at Aquitaine, we started with a round of Mimosas for the table. There [...]

And I LOVE this package that the folks at Quaker sent to me: Gaiam yoga mat alarm clock breakfast bowl spoon cloth napkin 2 boxes of Banana Walnut instant oatmeal 2 boxes of Apple Cranberry Almond instant oatmeal Bob Harper’s Yoga Warrior DVD tote bog [...]

Why bother to make something from scratch when you can open some baking mix, add a few ingredients, and there you go.  Breakfast is served.  If I had the talent, I’d make my blueberry muffins from scratch.  But for right now, a box of whole grain muffin mix is as homemade as it’s gonna get. [...]

Today I chowed down like I was at an Italian feast.  Pizza, pasta, red sauce… I had 2 slices of apple banana bread for breakfast.  Maybe not Italian, but I have one loaf left and it needs to be eaten. What’s up now?!?!  Since I was stuck inside studying nutrition, I decided to do a [...]

I woke up this morning, determined to document every single bite of food I ate today.  But I after I burnt out from studying all afternoon, that plan went out the window.  So here’s 75% of what I ate today! (And I can’t blog about exercise because there just wasn’t time!) I ate two three [...]

I didn’t have an extremely busy week.  But since I knew my boyfriend had been working hard, I was ready to join him in a weekend filled with R&R.  Sometimes being healthy requires drinking some red wine and chilling on the couch.  Plus since our vacation ended, I’ve tried to tighten the budget.  I’ve been [...]

My Birthday Week is over.  Seven lovely days of small presents and fun events.  My final birthday gift was a stuffed bunny. Pumpkin scented soap Apron Bracelet Tickets to Wicked Candle French cookbook and cafe music Bunny! The bunny was my absolute favorite gift!  So cute and snuggly soft. I owe Jared so many thank [...]
