once upon a time…

…I could feel my extremities.  But, that day is long gone, kiddos.  It is freeeeezing.  I headed to the gym after lunch and basically had to wait 10 minutes in the locker room just thawing out before I could start my work out!  The gym was packed (again) so I was forced to alter my exercise regime according to which machines were available.  Tread Mill: time pace incline 0-10 minutes 3.5 (walking) 2.5 10-17 5.7 4 17-20 6.0 2.5 20-27 5.7 4 27-30 6.0 2.5   Elliptical: time level direction 0-10 minutes 8 forward 10-15… Read more >

don’t judge a fig by it’s cover

I’ll admit, I love fig newtons/bars, but the thought of eating a fig alone was not too appealing…They just look weird.  But after seeing Erin’s picture of the fig’s cross section, I was intrigued…could their be a delicious fruit hiding beyond these hideous exteriors??    Turns out, they are way yummmmm!  Maybe even a new fave dried fruit? (and that’s tough company) As I was doing my daily food blog surfing, I came upon a contest I couldn’t ignore!  Everyone should check out Oh She Glows, since well over half the products I now obsess… Read more >

I almost burned the house down!

OMG!  I seriously just had WAY too close a call with an oven disaster… Enough said?  Those are brussels, since you probably can’t tell.  I was at the gym and I suddenly remembered holy $*&%!! I left Brussels sprouts in the oven.  I’ve never sprinted back to my apartment faster.  No joke.  I EFFING booked it.  When I turned onto my road I was at least happy that there were no fire trucks, and we DO have a doorman, so I figured they’d recognize if smoke was consuming the hallway…but when I opened the door… Read more >

Obama nation

I got chills! Yes, we can. No I wasn’t there, these pics are from my television.  Anyways…onto the food! What better way to start off the day than with a warm frothy coffee and french toast.   I used egg beaters, vanilla silk and cinnamon with ww bread, and then CAKED on the earth balance.  Seriously, I went overboard with the EB… I know it’s vegan and all, but I’m not sure that’s an acceptable excuse to add as much as I do to my food.  I also had a blueberry o’soy.  Loves it. For… Read more >

Snacky McSnackerson

Happy MLK Jr. day!  Even though we don’t get holidays in the hospital, I actually have today off, so I can appreciate the holiday like everyone else (meaning Kyle)!  I slept in and enjoyed a huge froth-filled latte while watching the View. Kyle’s not a huge fan of the View, so he was working on the computer to block out “Whoopi’s obnoxious voice.”  I made myself a little somethin’ somethin’ for brunch – an open-faced PB quesadilla with a WW tortilla and peanut butter.  I’ve never had this brand of tortilla, in fact our grocery… Read more >
