For the past 4 days, it’s been all birthday, all the time.  But that’s what happens when my boyfriend decides he wants to celebrate my birthday Hanukkah-style.  One present and a mini-celebration every night for one week. Yesterday, I tried to celebrate my birthday in my own special way: by preparing delicious food for every [...]

I had the day off today and I spent all of my time at home.  Living the life I imagine for myself when I think of a career as a Starving Artist. I started my day (at 9:30 am, maybe 10 am…not an early morning) with a bowl of plain Special K cereal. I gazed [...]

I’ve been busy relaxing and enjoying the past 3 days off from work. I ate some tasty food. But before I chowed down, I took of great photos of my beautiful, beautiful food. Total cereal with fresh strawberries. A veggie burger topped with spinach. I also topped my veggie burger with avocado.  It’s been months [...]

Breakfast, lunch, and snack time on this rainy Monday…

I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins for breakfast. At first I was disappointed that I had forgotten to buy milk at the grocery store.  Until I realized I had almond milk in the back of the fridge!  Tasted the same to me and lasts a lot longer than a gallon of regular milk! [...]

I can’t resist ordering food while I’m at work.  The Healthworks Cafe always has delicious specials that tempt me at mealtime. Here are some of the things I’ve ordered recently: A fruit and yogurt parfait! A turkey, cranberry, spinach, and goat cheese quesadilla! A salad with chicken and lots of vegetables! A wrap with chicken, [...]

Thanks for the feedback on my last post.  Some of you like to work out in the morning, others later on in the day.  And almost all of you agreed that I should just do things my way.  Whatever works for me!  And the pm workouts are going well so far! And since marathon training [...]

Since both my brother and I were at home last night, my entire family decided to go out to dinner for a belated Father’s Day celebration. We went to Trattoria Romana in Lincoln, RI. I ordered a bottle of Montepulciano (Italian red wine) for my family to share.  We had a nice toast and everyone [...]

Wednesdays are my Friday.  I woke up knowing I only had to make it through 6 hours of work before I could start my 3 day weekend.  So exciting that every weekend will be a 3 day weekend.  Thursday-Saturday with nothing to do! I had a delicious breakfast.  I added fresh strawberries to strawberry Chobani.  [...]

Just like Miles, I got stuck in a rough situation. But unlike Miles, I wasn’t stuck hanging off of the side of the couch.  My rough situation occurred when I tried to go for a run this morning.  I headed out to destroy 3 miles.  And it almost got the best of me! I enjoyed [...]
