After SUCH a late night, we got to sleep in only a bit. I had a nice frothy coffee (with a mix of ff vanilla “creamer” and skim plus). Then the parents arrived at our apartment and we headed off for a morning stroll through Riverside Park. We ended up making our way east into Central Park to catch some of the tail end of the NYC marathon. How inspirational!!!! I am now determined to get my butt in gear. No joke. Carpe diem. This is going to be my year. 26 is going to… Read more >

The day after my birthday I had to work, so it was back to reality. The C pod was super mega patient overload (to quote black rob, it was “like whoa”). Each patient was so heavy, there should have been 5 more nurses at least, but of course there were just two of us left to hold down the fort. The day started off with a nice starbucks soy misto, but since I was running around like a mad woman all morning, my stomach was growling by 9 and eating itself by 10. Thank the… Read more >

Welcome to October, my favorite month. No work today, woohoo! But, my stomach was unhappy for some unknown reason, so my day off was not so fun. I spent most of it on the couch, and the rest of it in bed. I did manage to crawl to starbucks for a soy latte, which (surprisingly) settled my stomach momentarily. Later I had some oatmeal. Arrowhead Mills has good stuff. I especially love their oatmeal. I mixed one of the original packets with flax with a maple apple spice packet. Then I added in a hunk… Read more >

Another day of work. Another home-made sandwich.You know the drill. Subway to work, starbucks run for an AM caffeine dose (grande soy latte), work work work work…Here’s the rest of what I packed for myself. The apple was HUGE which is why I sliced it (to enjoy in multiple sessions). With lunch I had a soy latte and then another refilled cup of plain soymilk. I (again) skipped the gym – this week is just NOT happening in the work out department! Instead, I had some dates and another soy latte on the way home… Read more >

Well, today was a good work day, and a good eating day UNTIL 10 pm…then I got the late night hunger pangs that wouldn’t release me. As strong as I tried to be, I failed. I was a bad girl – I opened and finished a few different containers in the same sitting. UGH! And I was doing so well, too. Damn it damn it damn it. So, here’s how the day started. I had a coffee at Bruno’s (4 stars for today’s brew). I packed my lunch the night before (see the sando pictured… Read more >
