Wait, it’s Wednesday

All day I’ve ben thinking it’s Thursday.  I called home thinking my mom would be around to talk cuz she’s off on Thursdays.  Nope.  I was looking forward to a new episode of the Office.  Nope.  Gotta wait til tomorrow!

I made a Chobani blend for breakfast.  I blended cranberry apple butter into plain Greek yogurt.  [...]

All in a Day’s Eats

For a bedtime snack, I had some French bread and olive oil.

Here’s what my instant oatmeal actually looked like.  Less delicious looking than Quaker’s photo; mine were too watery.  I beefed it up by adding extra raisins.

I snacked on baby carrots dipped in Laughing Cow cheese.

For lunch I ate each Arnold Thin as an open [...]

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

For breakfast, I chose to eat another container of vanilla Chobani.  This time I added a little less granola and a spoonful of peanut butter.

Like breakfast, my lunch was ALMOST exactly the same as yesterday.  I ate another leftover cheeseburger, but this time I had a few tortilla chips on the side instead of baby [...]

Training Day #1

I ate vanilla Chobani and trail mix when I got to the office.

I brought a leftover cheeseburger for lunch.  I ate the burger with baby carrots on the side.
Today was officially Training Day #1 for the Willow Tree Half Marathon.  12 weeks to go!  I used this training schedule to create something that would fit [...]

Seeing Red

Jared had to stay late at work and I knew I couldn’t wait too long for tapas.  So I made a yogurt creation out of plain Chobani, brown sugar, and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter.  It was pretty good and helped me wait until almost 8 pm to head to Masa.
Masa was SO crowded and [...]

Body Pumpin’

I set my alarm for 5:15 am so I could snooze twice before I absolutely HAD to get up and get out the door for the 6 am Body Pump class at the back Bay HealthWorks.
I said hi to Patricia and started setting up my mat, weights, and bench.  Looked to my right and saw [...]

Eats and Treats

After all of my hard work in the kitchen yesterday, I thought I deserved a sweet treat.  I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a scoop of peanut butter.  As soon as I took this photo, I gave 2 large spoonfuls of ice cream to Jared.  The poor guy just doesn’t understand girl-sized [...]

Skidmore vs. UMass Boston

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed cupcake t-shirt?  Thank you Johnny Cupcakes!   How awesome is a pepperoni pizza in the shape of a cupcake?!?!  I actually bought this shirt when JC hosted a movie night in Coolidge Corner.

I made Pacific Natural Foods’ spicy black bean soup and added a dollop of plain Chobani (sunk to the [...]

Breakfast with a Friend

I was really in the mood for cereal, but we were out of milk.  So I grabbed a strawberry Chobani and mixed in some Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter and a tablespoon of raisins.  The regular raisins were SO much better than those in the PB.  I love the cinnamon PB flavor, but wish the [...]
