I woke up to my alarm, but the good news is that I could roll over and turn it off because I finally had a day off today. After my run of 3 days in a row, I could hardly move today. All my joints hurt. Every muscle ached. I really just wanted to stay in bed all day. Unfortunately, that tends to mess up my sleeping schedule beyond repair, and since I don’t enjoy tossing and turning until 4 am trying to fall asleep I now have just given in to the fact that… Read more >
Beyonce MUST have been referring to soy lattes when she wrote that song. I am obsessed! I can’t even put into words what has happened to me these past few days since Starbucks introduced me to the soy milk latte.1) I don’t know what took me so long to try this…considering I am lactose intolerant, it is really a bit overdue of a revelation.2) I am embarrassed to share this, but I have gotten 4-5 iced or hot soy lattes a day for the past Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It is only a work thing,… Read more >

Here is the latest healthy addition to my life. Fake sugars scare me because of all the chemicals…that just can’t be good for people to eat, right? I found Stevia, FINALLY!! This stuff is great.

So hooray for finally getting it (it is definitely NOT cheap though).So anyways, I am now… Read more >

Well, it was a sad day for the pac 10 (except U$C). In fact, all aspects of today were kinda blah. My stomach was killing me from the moment I opened my eyes and rain clouds were threatening to pour a mother load all day long. Anyways, moving on…Kyle had his Saturday mentor date this morning, so I took my time getting up. I started the day off with a nice steamy Sbucks ff Lactaid latte/misto (also some ff Vanilla creamer). Then I hit up the gym for a so-so work out. I did elliptical… Read more >

So I didn’t really wanna write anything on 9/11 (plus I was working all day so it wasn’t too interesting). Let me recap: AM coffee, PM lunch The exciting part of the day was that Kyle surprised me after work and showed up to meet me for dinner and a walk home. We went to WF for dinner (I ate SO much) and we headed uptown to drop Kyle off at his Spanish tutor, then I walked the rest of the way home and took a day off from the gym š The rest of… Read more >
