Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >

On my days off, I like to sleep in. The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth. But less than a second after, I make coffee. After that I water my babies. Then, I set up shop on our dining room chairs and read blogs, write, and do whatever internet related errands I’ve put off for the past few days. All while enjoying coffee. Coffee topped with froth and cocoa, to be exact. At least, that’s what I did on Friday. I also had the last piece… Read more >

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song. I apologize. But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work. I love it! I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again. I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food. *This post is old, so disregard any references to time. My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >

Monday had very little going on for me. My bicycle (which was getting new gear switcher thingies) was finally done and ready for pick up, but aside from that I did little else worth mentioning. I started the day with another carob coffee concoction. This time I added a tsp of carob powder to the milk during the frothing process. Turned out pretty well. Later on I had a big bowl of fruit, including two apples and some strawberries with cinnamon on top. I reread Skinny Bitch on Sunday night and it reminded me of… Read more >
