After a wonderful morning of sleeping in, running in the park, and brunching at Joe, I headed downtown to pop into my old office. I just wanted to say hello to some of my friends from work. And by “office”, I mean hospital. And by “some of my friends” I mean two people. Because almost everyone else has quit since I left. I had been texting with them the days leading up to my trip, so I knew they’d be working that day…but I didn’t anticipate anyone else caring that I was coming… Read more >

This overnight concoction tasted just like a peanut butter and jelly Larabar. While I never really cared much for the whole oats-in-a-jar phenom that rocked the blog world circa 2010, I also can’t stand waste. Fact: the best way to get every last lick of peanut butter is use the nearly empty jar as a vessel for overnight oats. I added in oats, maple syrup, apricots, and almond milk, then topped it off with almonds, cashews & dried cranberries. The next morning is was super gooey. After breakfast I caught up on… Read more >

I’m sorry but I’m not sorry that I took a mini-break from blogging… I go through these lulls from time to time…and I don’t want to recap my triathlon experience until I’m really good and ready…so I’ll wait until the mood strikes. Until then, here’s today’s work lunch. Ensalada with Amy’s Bistro Burger, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and tomatoes. Kyle had some friends over for a BBQ this weekend, so I swooped on the leftover grilled corn in the fridge to make my salad even more exciting. Crunchy! It was good… Read more >

I’m royally sore today. It must be the rollercoasters (because I didn’t work out yesterday). Unless you consider shoving toddlers out of the way to get to the front row of the parade a workout…not that I did that. For breakfast I wanted something cool and something crunchy. So I went with a smoothie topped in granola. The smoothie had frozen strawberries, soymilk, Antioxidant Natural Greens, and ice. With Love Grown Clusters of Oats on top. It was great, but I was really just passing the time until lunch. Why so stoked for my mid-day… Read more >

I don’t have a particularly fantastic work schedule at the moment, but at least I’m on day shift for the entire month. So I’m certainly not complaining! After a sweaty morning sesh with Jillian, I enjoyed a scone before heading into the office hospital. Here’s the stash I brought along. What a snack scene! That would be, dehydrated apple rings, dark chocolate covered edamame, candied ginger, Nature’s Path Chococonut bar, mini PB cookie Larabar, mixed dried fruit, and a baggie of home-made cereal/nut/dried fruit trail mix. Breakfast number two was oats with a… Read more >
