At a Snail’s Pace

Yesterday went by really slowly.  I felt like I was moving at a snail’s pace. I ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast without taking a photo, watched TV, and started cleaning the apartment.  I even spent time photographing the snails that were out and about in my back yard. When the rain let up, [...]

Homemade Sangria

Yesterday’s outfit was green to show my support for the Celtics.  Then when I got chilly I added my Red Sox hoodie.  The Bruins were the only team missing from my clothing. All 3 Boston teams played yesterday, but unfortunately all 3 lost. I made a taco salad with Wednesday’s leftovers.  Still delicious! For an [...]

False Advertising

All day, I’d been hinting that tonight I’d be celebrating something other than Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen… May is Mediterranean Month.  I love Oldways and the concepts behind the Med Diet.  I was looking forward to writing a major post about the diet, and about my experience olive oil tasting on Newbury [...]

Wine Riot

After the Sports and Fitness Expo, Becky and I got ready for Wine Riot. We headed to the Cyclorama for some tasty sips. Plus Cabot cheese to go with the wine.  Mmmm! I even tried Malbec in a Box. Riesling, the ultimate girly girl wine! Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by Wine Riot.  I [...]

Cheering Up

Was it hard to stay in a bad mood when my dinner looked like this? Yesssss….  Brown rice smooshed into the shape of a heart, chicken, and broccoli. Plus I couldn’t be too cranky while sipping glass of Mark West Pinot Noir. Aww, that’s love. I became a little less bitter while snacking on Chocolate [...]

Gran Gusto

Blurry but this picture made me laugh.  I asked Jared to snap a picture of my outfit and look who decided to join in the photo shoot?!?! Jared, Drew, Nicki, Chris, and I met in Cambridge at Cambridge Common for beers and appetizers.  I had a Pretty Things beer. We shared an ordered of fried [...]

Lost Angel wine

I ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup from Finagle-a-Bagel.  I normally love this, but today my stomach wasn’t feeling it.  It made the end of my work day slightly unpleasant. I didn’t go to the gym because I have plans to run on Saturday and Sunday.  Sunday is actually a 5K race! Jared and I [...]

The End of the Beginning

I had the longest staff meeting this morning/afternoon and ended up eating 2 slices of pizza that my boss provided for the crew.  So my half-ass version of Ants on a Log was a healthy afternoon snack after a greasy lunch. I didn’t have a lot of time for a “lunch break” so I quickly [...]

Belgian Pale Ale Tasting

I’m going to miss Body Pump 72.  This final week definitely worked my muscles.  My poor mom sliced her thumb while changing the weights on her bar and missed half of the bicep track to go get a band aid.  Despite the minor injury, I’m really proud that my mom increased her weight for a [...]

Rose Colored Glasses

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 [...]
