dried papaya

Catching up on last weekend

After a week of saving money on home-cooked meals a la plan, I opted to splurge for the weekend.  Lazy me.    I was working though, so it was my treat.  I snacked on chex and chocolate crunchfuls.  The crunchfuls are made with pea protein.  I got them in a sample pack a long time ago.  I reviewed the plain ones here.  The chocolate ones are better but still have a definite pea flavor going on.  I could get used to it (and didn’t really mind it that much), but if you’re looking for a… Read more >

A non code

  I had such a chaotic day at work, and the weird part was it was totally stress free and enjoyable.   For breakfast I had three leftover pancakes from earlier in the week (I always make extra for work and then end up eating half the extras, which leaves me with a measly portion to take to work).  Luckily I had banana bread muffins too. My lunch was leftover Caprese Caesar pasta salad.  AKA my favorite dish on the face of the Earth.    We had this for dinner the previous night.  I can’t… Read more >

Time check

Let’s see if I can piece my Saturday together… 2:30  Wake up check clock, go back to sleep 3:00  Wake up, check clock, go back to sleep 4:00  Wake up, check clock, go back to sleep 4:35  Wake up, check clock, go back to sleep 5:13  Alarm goes off…finally this wake up call is for real 5:14  Brush teeth and brush hair slick the afro back into a ponytail 5:20  Get dressed (my scrubs, undies, tank, socks and shoes are always neatly laid out on the chair in the living room so I don’t wake… Read more >

Longest shift of my life

I know there’s a ton of TWSS potential with that post title, but unfortunately it is in reference to my j-o-bizzle (so get yo’ mind out of the gutter)!  How was my day?  Does that answer the question? (not that you really asked) Four of those are mine.  Four.  Normally I’m all about saving my cup and taking advantage of the free 54 cent refills.  But, since I worked through lunch, I didn’t even get the chance to run across the street to get my Starbucks fix.  I was barely hanging on (which I guess… Read more >

“The thing about food is…”

Back to work already?!  Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill.  Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things.  The verdict?  Good, but different.  I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do.  I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >
