I was much more comfortable in Friday’s work outfit.  I normally change as soon as I get home from the office, usually into sweats, but I kept this on for most of the evening. I went back on the bike at the gym today so I could read more of New Moon.  I also used [...]

I went to the gym around 2 pm for my planned cardio workout.  A few of you mentioned you wouldn’t bother working out if you’d forgotten socks.  I definitely would’ve skipped my workout but since I did that yesterday, I knew I needed to sweat.  I used the Cybex for 20 minutes and cranked up [...]

Strawberries for a snack. Sandwich with vegetable hummus, carrots, cucumbers, and greens.  Plus a bag of Sunchips! Yes, yes I wore Ugg boots to work today. And yes, they are old and stinky but they are WARM and so comfy. I didn’t plan any of my workouts this week.  I have some idea of what [...]

Last night, I worked on my core muscles for 6 minutes before showering and getting ready for dinner and whatever the night was to have in store. Jared and I went to dinner at Pops Restaurant, another restaurant that’s really close to our apartment.  We shared a bottle of Sangiovese.  For the past few months, [...]

Trader Joe’s vegetable sushi.  Not that good! Leftover Nasoya noodles.  Much tastier than the sushi! Random outfit.  Not sure if I should’ve left the house looking like that, but whatev Super snack food Chocolate Amazing Grass bar sans wrapper Wine from the Finger Lakes area of NY Pesto chicken with pasta tossed in flavored olive [...]

I read this quote on the blog Hop, Skip, and a Giant Leap.  I thought it would be great to keep it on my desk at work as a constant reminder never to give up on myself. When I got home from work, I started on dinner right away.  I made a frozen Pasta Medley [...]

Still Thursday… I began my workout with my strength training circuit so I wouldn’t have any excuses to cut it short.  I modified the original plans to fit my mood and to target areas that had been bothering me lately.   For example, due to typical girl bloating, I wanted to do some ab work.  Here [...]

Lunch was a turkey sandwich that Jared kindly prepared while I was doing my makeup. My meeting did NOT go well.  Boooo to the Woods School.  But at least a few candy pumpkins made me feel better. I crunched on some baby carrots. I had to install Office 2007 so while my computer was hard [...]

Jared and I walked Miles over to the dog park and tried to encourage him to make some new friends.  Things spiraled downhill when he started growling and showing his teeth at every dog that came near him.  So embarrassing!  We left after 10 minutes, making sure to apologize to the other dog owners for [...]

Admitting is the first step to recovery.  But do I really wanna get better?  Haha. I swear these spa treatments that I’ve been blogging about a rare treat!  Jared bought the 4-pack of treatments at a mega discounted price.  Once these run out, I’m back to at-home facials and minimal pampering. I finally tried the [...]
