dried mixed fruit

Sunday

Sunday morning started just like Saturday – I was off to work before the clock chimed 6.  My lunch was similar to Saturday’s too. Let’s see if you can identify the differences?  Kidding!  That’s way too much effort.  Instead, I’ll just tell you.  Same salad.  Different bars.  Today’s snacks included: Clif’s MoJo Dipped PB&J, Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, dried fruit (mango and pears), and fresh fruit (apple and pear). Sometimes I wake up with my stomach growling, but other days, I don’t actually get hungry for hours.  And weirder yet, sometimes I eat a meal… Read more >

Solo Saturday

Initially, I thought this weekend wouldn’t be too bad since my weekend at the hospital overlapped with Kyle’s trip to the west coast (I mean, we might as well both be occupied if we aren’t together, right?)…but then I found out some of my fave peeps were going to be in town.  [Insert HUGE sigh]  Next time… Work grub.  Let’s get to it. Now what do we have here:  PB&J Larabar (it had been too long – I don’t recommend waiting over a month week between consuming this flavor), Chocolate Brownie Clif bar (ummm, chocolate… Read more >

Food (with a side of drama)

Hey HEY Hey!  Long time no see… I know, my bad.  I didn’t mean to leave you high and dry, but sometimes I get soopah stressed.  When that happens, unfortunately, the blog is the first to take a seat on the sidelines… It all started to pile up last weekend.  There were actually a few different factors contributing to this, but I will only get to part of that now. I was really busy and unable to get my gym time in, which doesn’t matter when it’s one day, but after a few I start… Read more >

Lovely sweet p

Happy middle-of-the-week day (I don’t really like to associate “hump” with such a negative time). You know the drill.  My pre-packed comida included: dried papaya chunks, oat bran pretzels & raisins, salad (with the works), apple pie Larabar, and peanut butter pretzel MoJo bar. Spinach, carrots, raw corn, black beans, and sweet potatoes.  Love me some sweet p’s.  They go with EVERYTHING…even things they shouldn’t go with, they do. I dare you to name something they don’t go with.  Just to be clear though, I’m not saying I’ll try it…  😉 This was a good… Read more >

Fall colored food

I didn’t even realize how ridiculously orange my meals were, until I uploaded all the pictures…holy naranja!  I woke up fairly early for my day off, which allowed time for serious AM chowing.  This mug vat of coffee had froth up the yin-yang (just the way I like it).  I also toasted an English muffin and caked on the Smart Balance light.  Puddles of butter normally skeeve me out, but for some reason I craved it today. Throughout the morning I read blogs and snacked on lots of fruit.  Gotta enjoy the (dwindling) sweet part… Read more >
