We slept in a bit on Sunday, but were still up and at em at 8 AND…OH.MY.GAH! I was SO SO sore. I literally couldn’t get out of bed my entire back/neck was so stiff I was frozen – it looked like I was in a brace because my range of motion was so limited. WOW. I spent the first few minutes of the morning just stretching, which helped a teeny bit. I was prepared to be a little sore because that’s generally what happens with any new activity (and I haven’t been skiing in… Read more >

blue sky + sun – clouds = snow? Wait. That can’t be right, can it? Apparently. I DON’T understand how this east coast weather works. Anyhoo, s’up kiddos! Today was a mill times better than yesterday. Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement…lord knows I needed it today – heading in to work on the weekend (BOO). I decided to skip the ‘bucks this morning since I woke up earlier than I needed to and my stomach was relentlessly demanding “feed me.” I made my own cafe and silk-ed it up big time,… Read more >

I woke with a tummy ache today :( so I started the day off with tea. I had the last of my Holiday Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea, so my second mug was blueberry green tea. I really like the sugar cookie tea, I’m going to have to get that one again. SO good. Then I had some toasted Alvarado street bread with peanut butter and cinnamon and stevia sprinkled on top. This bread is the best, and as we all know, peanut butter is the solution to everything IN LIFE, so I was… Read more >

And it’s NOT pretty…it may be the worst smell ever. No. It’s definitely the worst smell ever. Yep, I just conducted a study. 9 out of 10 researchers agreed with me (I think the 10th guy was sleeping with the drug rep). I may be off “egg” products for a while because of this… Lunch Same sammie as ayer (bell pepps, “turkey,” greek yog, and hummus) Plus the usual side-kicks, along with a NEWBIE (and new obsession). Dude, figs and carob covered raisins = heaven. Holy yum, talk about a party in my mouth!! I… Read more >

Adios Caroline, hello Sen. Gilliweed. Ok, ok, that’s not her last name…it’s actually a Harry Potter reference, but it’s kinda close? Sen. Gillibrand is her real name. I’m liking the recent fad of appointing female politicos to power (minus the near VP disaster). As for non-red/blue conversation, I had a pretty solid gym day, which consisted of 60 mins ellipticaling on the random setting (levels 9-15) and 15 mins of spinning (escalating intensity). No abs/arms – it was a day of rest for the mat work :) The random setting on the elliptical can be… Read more >
