plane snacks and reviews

You KNOW I packed tons of GOODIES for my 14 hours day of traveling… Sammie #1 (TJs hummus, dried cranz, and spin on the end piece of bread) Sammie #2 (the same HLC as above, minus the heel piece) Above: 2 HLC sandos, dried cranz, edamame, apricot Clif bar, blueberry crisp Clif bar Below: dried fruit mix, TJs spiced chai tea, plum (unpictured apple) Sunday AM: Rain. BART. Checked in. Sprinted across SFO like I was trying to qualify for London 2012. Boarded.  Taxi-ed on the runway for 30 hours.  Arrived in Chi-town. Sunday PM:… Read more >

bright lights, long nights

…party ‘til the sun is rising, high rise, overtime, working ‘til the morning shine.  I feel on TOP OF THE WORLD!  Top of the world! 🙂 In addition to making me feel like a true New Yorker, that song pumps me up (as most PCD song do)!  Guilty pleasure, fasho. AM coffee.  BTW, before I forget, thank SO MUCH for all the feedback on my last post.  You guys are the sweetest and the most thoughtful and it really makes my day when I get flooded with comments of support.  It’s so nice to know… Read more >

those mines aren’t going to sweep themselves

Oh sweet Sabado!!!  I love weekends! Coffee + crossword = life is good.  Did I mention my BOYFRIEND is coming home today.  China has had him far too long.  I broke the fast with PB puffins… What a heavenly bowl of cereal. In keeping with the nut-butter theme… I had a heaping spoonful of soynut butter with some apple slices. Food porn. Since yesterday’s was so good… Fresh melon + frozen grapes + soy yogurt I even added in a splash of POM 🙂 Later I had a GN (Gary Null’s) veggie burger with hummus. … Read more >

computer stress/food mess/gym success

You would never know how productive today was if you tracked me with a GPS (I was literally in the same square foot in my apartment for 99% of the day)…hunched over the computer BEGGING it to cooperate with me. I got up nice an early, even though I had today OFF from work :)  I was thrilled beyond belief to get some extra rest all my errands done.  Seriously, I had frothy coffee and soynut butter oats and then got crackin’… Oh, and soynut butter is ridiculously good, btw.  This was my day.  Restoring,… Read more >

and the oscar goes to…

Today was a repeat of yesterday.  Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up.  Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend.  Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored.  I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s.  I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry.  I also… Read more >
