I was going to try to do a WIAW post, but I just couldn’t get it together in time. Or photograph everything. Here’s some of my “what I ate wednesday week” in bullet points. Monday Coffee. Duh. My GF loaf is going fast and I still never even showed it’s birth. Sunbeam and Bob’s Red Mill make bread making pretty effortless. Unfortunately due to the garbanzo bean flour, my GI system was not very pleased with the final product. Tasty? Yes. Bloating? Very. It took a bit of trial and error with other… Read more >

Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach. It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.” I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night. Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment. I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… Read more >

I leave for work and it’s pitch black outside…12 hours later I leave the hospital and it’s again darkness. I can’t really complain since I spent Friday on the beach with Kyle (summer sun in October, what whaaaat). But I worked this weekend and tried to take a photo out the kitchen window before I left…just to show the lack of light. Didn’t really work. :( It’s so dark out, all you can see is my reflection. My breakfast is far more photogenic. Quinoa on quinoa? Why not! I added Sweet Almond & Quinoa… Read more >

Best twist of fate ever! After quite a day’s journey from Cordoba, the first restaurant we tried for dinner was closed. No idea why, but fortunately we had a backup option ready just in case. I knew it was veg-friendly, but I didn’t know it was entirely vegan. Wee!!! If you are in Madrid and looking for a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal, you absolutely must go to Al Natural Vegetariano. For the record, they do have ovo-lacto options too, as well as free-range chicken and fish dishes. We were semi-early (for Spain’s dining… Read more >

My Thursday started at 4:20 am. [I always change my alarm to a different time, so I actually think this was a 4:24 day] I wasn’t really feeling very Jillian-esque, so I zoned out to Most Eligible Dallas while pumping iron in my living room. [pumping iron = minimal reps with 3 lb dumbbells] I had pancakes for breakfast before work. [I’m not superwoman, I made these in advance, see below] As usual, I had my work eats all ready to go, including a buckwheat breakfast, a mixed leftovers salad, two Enjoy Life… Read more >
