Hungry Tiger

**I’m not sure why, but I’m having tech related issues…update your google reader feeds to  http://hungryhungryhippie.com/feed/ If you know what the title of this post means, I’m sorry.  Ha Ha. But that’s what I felt like (again) today.  I had 4 meals (not snacks, meals) AFTER dinner alone. OK, so back to the beginning… Hump day started off with an early morning wake up call.  Someone’s gotta save lives. To get me going, I went with a Trilogy Kombucha.  This is my FAVE flavor by far.  Mmmm… I had packed my lunch before, but it… Read more >

raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud.  And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

Balance act, tipsy

I have no clue why, but my appetite was out of control today.  It was as if I ran a marathon and couldn’t seem to get in enough kcals to replenish.  The only problem: I didn’t run a marathon.  In fact, I didn’t exercise Sat or Sun because I worked (12 hour shifts are not conducive to gym-ing).  I never really pay attention to balancing calories on days I exercise, even if I have really intensely active days, because typically my body tells me what to do.  If my tummy wants more, I give it… Read more >

It’s sunny honey

Sunday came and went and I think I hardly blinked!  Normally weekends that I work creep by so sloooooooowly, but this weekend was over in a flash, which is fine by me, since I have Monday off.  Sorry to the rest of you with normal work schedules! Back to Sunny-day, though. SO excited to try my cute ‘lil tub-o-Tribe hummus. LOVE me some humdaddy, right Brooke! I sliced an apple up for increased dunking pleasure, but the hummus made it’s way to the salad more than anything else… YUM! I also had a new CLIF… Read more >

Enough salads already

Up at 5.  Out the door in under 30.  Not a record, but not too shabby either. I got to downtown way earlier than usual, so the bucks wasn’t open yet (eek!)…good thing I had Bruno’s to the rescue.  I’ve raved before, so my love for this tiny place is no secret, a small steamy coffee turned that frown upside down 🙂 Here’s my latest read.  I heart David Sedaris!  Makes the loss of express trains on the weekends somewhat tolerable.  I managed to avoid the local trains today, so all was good. Anyways, I… Read more >
