Ugh, my hair is NOT cool with this weather. NOT cool man, NOT cool. Today’s food photos are nowhere to be found…I’m not sure where they vanished off to, but the culprit is either my camera or computer (and based on my recent technology-challenged history, it’s the computer). It’s a shame, too, because I went to Whole Foods on the way home from work (killed the weekly monthly budget), and there were some major food porn pictures from the hot bar. I guess my computer was jealous of the deliciousness going on, and wanted to eat… Read more >

Because yesterday’s post prompted such passionate and wonderful comments (I love you guys!!!), I’d like to post my response, just in case some people don’t check follow up answers in the comment section. This is just such a great discussion matter… First off, can I just say how PROUD I am of the responses I have gotten on this issue, not just as a (self proclaimed) foodie, but as a female in general! You all are absolutely right, it can be a slippery slope from checking portion sizes to obsessively counting each and every calorie… Read more >

Hi Kids! How are you all on this fine Monday! I’m feeling pretty fab myself, despite the 50 degree weather. I thought winter was over, but apparently not… After yesterday’s late night grub sesh I thought I wouldn’t be very hungry until later in the morning, but I woke up with the same hankering appetite as usual. I guess that just goes to show you, when you listen to your body (even if it tells you it wants 4 Vita Muffins with peanut butter at 11 PM), you can’t do too much damage. I’d also… Read more >

Sundays = the end of the weekend SAD! Unfortunately, this Sunday was especially blah. The cloudy, overcast weather pretty much reflected how I felt. Enter caffeine love. In the interest of preserving my current mood, I’m going to stop reflecting on yesterday’s thoughts…just know I was kinda a Debbie Downer all day. I’m not sure why, as there was no true reason I should feel gloomy – I was just stuck in a funk. Blueberry chobz + dried papaya spears + apple slices + melon = pretty fruity breakfast! After my AM sugar loading, I… Read more >

I slept in forever today! Initially, I got up at 8, but decided a few more minutes of shut-eye couldn’t hurt…next thing I know, it’s 10 am!! Whoa, I can’t even remember the last time I slept in that late. Generally I feel like I’m starting off the day behind when I miss so much of the morning, but to be honest, getting in the extra zzzz’s today felt glorious. Coffee + crossword = happy grandpa Elise Newman’s Own organic raisins are gooey and I like it. I drowned a few handfuls in my strawberry… Read more >
