Packin’ up an headin’ out

This morning I woke up with a mission.  My one and only goal for the day was to finish off the bottomless bag of Stacy’s Pita chips.  That’s it.  Coffee, whatever.  Exercise, puh-lease.  I simply wanted THESE deliciously addictive, wonderfully horrible, pita chips out of my apartment life.  The way these mothahs taunt me is inexplicable… And lemme tell you, when I set my mind to something, I get ‘er done. Stacy says the bag has 28 servings.  Elise says 8.  I wish Stacy were right, but the reality is she’s way off base.  Like… Read more >

D.C. (part 2)

Despite our late night out on the town, we still met at 7 am for breakfast on Saturday.  Craziness, right?  I don’t have any food pics from Saturday until dinner.  If you knew everything we did and saw, you’d understand why. Washington monument WWII memorial Reflecting pool Lincoln memorial Vietnam Veterans memorial Natural History museum American History museum Stars and Stripes Cafeteria lunch (veggie burger) National Air and Space museum White House Starbucks (yes, it gets it’s own bullet point) After what felt like miles and miles of walking, we finally made it back to… Read more >

Let’s get physical

I started the day with a raging headache.  WTF?!  No fair >:( Nothing a little caffeine couldn’t fix, right?  Wrong.  So, I pulled out the big guns Excedrin and distracted myself with brekkie until the meds kicked in. Food = happy hippie.  Not the most inspiring meals.  Sorry. I did make a fabulous lunch to make up for it, though.  Dave’s Killer Bread (I’m down to my last slices, eek!), CAKED with tofummus, spinach, and LightLife’s Smart Deli “turkey.” CAKED I tell ya… See it and weep.  After my tummy was satisfied, I decided to… Read more >

Am I behind?

Yes!  About 4 days behind.  I showed you all my eats throughout the day, but no dinners.  So, I guess I have some blogging to do, huh?  But before I get to that, thank you all SO much for your kind comments about my past few days at work.  I was a little nervous about writing a more emotional post about my job (and not food), but the comments that flooded after proved I had nothing to worry about.  So thank you thank you thank you 🙂 Moving on.  Guess what today is!?!  Give up?… Read more >

5/5

Happy Cinco de Mayo bloggies! Five is my fave number, so I have always loved this date, add in Mexican food, and I’m partying like it’s my birthday! Today was a ridic.  I couldn’t take pics of everything I ate.  Cliff’s notes: wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding The day started off rough.  I had frothing issues.    **Side note: I didn’t know there was a difference in Stevia derived sweeteners (Truvia, Rebiana, PureVia, SweetLeaf, etc.), but after one of Gena’s posts, I looked on the back of my NuStevia box and was a… Read more >
