After working a few days in a row, I just wanted to sleep in ‘til noon today. Unfortunately, my circadian rhythm wasn’t in on the game plan. I was up and getting my caffeine on by 8. A few days ago, this lovely package arrived from NuNaturals, so I was thrilled to have a massive fake sugar free NuStevia filled cuppa-joe. As usual, I brewed and frothed… Then, I added 3 drops of Vanilla Stevia to the Caffe Froth, and 1 packet of NuStevia white powder to the coffee. Perfection. No bitter after-taste. Not too… Read more >

I have no clue why, but my appetite was out of control today. It was as if I ran a marathon and couldn’t seem to get in enough kcals to replenish. The only problem: I didn’t run a marathon. In fact, I didn’t exercise Sat or Sun because I worked (12 hour shifts are not conducive to gym-ing). I never really pay attention to balancing calories on days I exercise, even if I have really intensely active days, because typically my body tells me what to do. If my tummy wants more, I give it… Read more >

I thought it was Friday all day…so confused. Whatever, Thursday means The Office, so it’s all good. 5 AM. Frothed me some coffee…and then I was off to work! Since I was running crazy late, I had this little baby on the way to work. For the record, I do NOT enjoy eating on the subway, especially when I’m drenched from my rainy mad dash to the station. As usual, I made my lunch the night before to bring to work, which included a hugh jass salad of spinach, brocc slaw, shredded carrots, cherry… Read more >

Happy Cinco de Mayo bloggies! Five is my fave number, so I have always loved this date, add in Mexican food, and I’m partying like it’s my birthday! Today was a ridic. I couldn’t take pics of everything I ate. Cliff’s notes: wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding The day started off rough. I had frothing issues. **Side note: I didn’t know there was a difference in Stevia derived sweeteners (Truvia, Rebiana, PureVia, SweetLeaf, etc.), but after one of Gena’s posts, I looked on the back of my NuStevia box and was a… Read more >

I pretty much love The Office. Right after I got up, I made coffee using the last of the Starbucks Holiday blend. I made it a little on the weaker side since I wasn’t needing the caffeine so much – mostly I just wanted the warmth, but also there weren’t too many grounds left. Then I toasted an Ezekiel English muffin and lathered on the peanut butter topped with a packet of Stevia. Has anyone been able to find Truvia in stores yet? I haven’t. Full and warm, I curled up with Twilight for a… Read more >
