I felt like I was on a Liquid Diet on Wednesday. Yogurt for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch, and soup for dinner. My lunchtime smoothie was very simple, but included healthy and moderately filling ingredients. 2 frozen bananas 1 cup of milk 1 tablespoon of peanut butter Hold up… Liquid diet?!?!  No thanks! Can anyone [...]

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

For me, healthy living is about appreciating the simple things in life.  Some days are too busy and I get caught up in everything I have/need/want to do. But I appreciate keeping it simple.  So that’s exactly what I did today! I slept late.  Then I stayed in bed some more.  Snoozing, “meditating,” talking on [...]

The land of Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and the deep dish pizza… Becky and I left Providence, RI on Thursday afternoon to head to the Windy City and spend the weekend at the Healthy Living Summit.  Our flight was delayed, but it didn’t put a damper on our vacation.  We entertained ourselves, talking, grabbing lunch, [...]

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, [...]

Friday was a gorgeous summer day in New England.  I joined my cousin Becky for a trip to the farmers market in Providence, RI. I love fresh vegetables! I bought 1 pound of snap peas. I don’t eat beets, but I thought they’d make for a pretty picture. I tasted a rose infused cupcake.  It [...]

After my haircut yesterday, I took advantage of the beautiful day and shopped my way down Newbury Street.  Then I wandered back down the Comm Ave Mall and snapped some photos. Women’s Statue on the Comm Ave Mall. I grabbed lunch from b. good.  I ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato, avocado, and salsa.  I [...]
