…I could feel my extremities. But, that day is long gone, kiddos. It is freeeeezing. I headed to the gym after lunch and basically had to wait 10 minutes in the locker room just thawing out before I could start my work out! The gym was packed (again) so I was forced to alter my exercise regime according to which machines were available. Tread Mill: time pace incline 0-10 minutes 3.5 (walking) 2.5 10-17 5.7 4 17-20 6.0 2.5 20-27 5.7 4 27-30 6.0 2.5 Elliptical: time level direction 0-10 minutes 8 forward 10-15… Read more >

I am so happy to have today off of work. I love weekends, especially NFL play-off weekends, since there are games on Saturday AND Sunday. I love sleeping in, and being lazy and not feeling remotely guilty about it. Plus, I got some wonderful mail today, too.Stonyfield responded to an email I sent them with some goodies (coupons) for my fave products. Their O’soy yog is THE best, but I can never find it anywhere, so hopefully they contacted some local markets to get more of their goodies stocked. The other mail was a postcard… Read more >

Step one: buy a flight to Mexico Step two: there is no step two Yup, I just bought a flight to Cabo San Lucas for next week!!!!!!! Peace out snow. I know it seems lame, but I kept going back and forth if this trip was wise with all the crap I have to do to get the year started off right. But it’s hard to argue with a free flight and place to stay (my parents own the place and my Dad offered me his frequent flier miles). Hell YEAH! Only 6 days til… Read more >

Cheers to 2009, but jeers to leaving home to return to snow. I packed a TON of plane food the night before (the LAST thing I want is to be stranded/delayed in an airport without food options). With the other end piece of the Alfaro’s bread, the rest of the veggie cheddar shreds, mushrooms, and a fresh, organic tomato, I made a pretty gourmet sando. Check it out! It turned into a monster as I was making it, so it’s a good thing the bread is SUPER thick to hold all that stuff in. DAYAM!… Read more >

Thanks to the time zone changes, my circadian rhythm was totally messed up, so I was up early, while everyone else slept in…well, not everyone. My mom was in the kitchen already starting the cooking/baking/prep and one set of Aunt and Uncle were off for their AM walk. I sat in the kitchen with my mom and made myself a big mug of coffee.My parents have the same froth machine as I do, so I made a nice perfectly foamy (and lactose free) coffee. Then I got ready for company (since people were coming over… Read more >
