I was too lazy to make coffee this morning, so I headed to Starbucks to get my java fix…plus I’m way more productive without Bravo in the background. Although I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, I am enjoying the heart cups. I busted out an apple after my soy misto. Around noon I headed home for lunch. Mostly I wanted avocado, so I made sure my meal revolved around that. BBQ sauce/nooch covered one half of the WF sandwich thin, with avocado lathered on the opposite half. I had a bowl of sweet… Read more >

The storm warnings on every media outlet… The closing of all NYC public schools… Yes, there were several red flags that should have clued me into the fact that this Wednesday would be far worse than the average hump day. But I’m never one to heed warning signs (that or I’m too dense optimistic to let them get to me…). Exhibit A: Favorite stila eye shadow smashed to pieces This photo was not taken at the time of the crime (4:45 am) but rather at 8 pm, after I returned home from an insane 14… Read more >

My appetite was a monster the other day. Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster. I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler. That’s not typical for me. My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories. If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so. Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

My goodness! I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks. Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness. Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care. Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care. I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action. No worries, I have a plan. But first, my past few days of work eats. Clif… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >
