Today was one of those “breath, take a step back, and count to ten” kind of days.
Initially, I started my blog, as nothing more than a fun, therapeutic way for me to journal my attempt at living a healthy, semi-balanced life – including everything from gym time to cooking successes & messes, as well as my random thoughts and musings along the way…if others happen to enjoy reading, even better! Now, I have grown to ADORE blogging, and it’s all because of you guys! Who ever would have thought that sharing aspects of my life on a regular basis would turn into such a wonderful experience. This blogging community is amazing.
Which leads me to the wah wah wah part of the post.
[insert panicked calls to Kyle, followed by tears, and desperate emails to K and Sarah]
You see, in my vain attempt to make my blog more pretty, I basically wiped out my audience. Uhhh. Oops?! After the dust settled 5 hours of google searching, I learned way more thna I ever wanted to about computer lingo, and managed to locate the problem. Not fix it, just locate it 🙂
Basically, if you have google reader, I think you have to change the subscription name to www.hungryhungryhippie.com/feed now. Otherwise, everything else seems to have worked out fairly well…of course if you area reading this, obviously something is functioning correctly.
(keep in mind exhaustion is the main factor in my tranquility at this point)
Nothing like coffee to help me breathe and reboot.
I apologize for the ramblings above, I promise I will cease ALL technology-related blog talk from now on! And if you skipped the above text, well done, that’s probably one of the smartest decisions you made all day 🙂
BREAKFAST!!
I was feeling fruity, can you tell? Strawbeezy chobz + H2O/plain melon galore = sugar HIGHHHHHHHH (insulin me stat, yo!)
After stalking my fellow bloggies (especially the wordpress beauties) I did a crossword to further calm myself, but then those dumb biatches desperate fools on Paris Hilton’s BFF got my blood a-pumpin’ again. They so stoopid.
No worries, I called Kyle and discovered he’d be home by 2…yeeeeha!
For lunch I whipped up a sammie, consisting of Alvarado street heel pieces (amore!) bell pepps, snow peas (a bit weird, right?), non sabra Tribe hummus, and a Food for Life veggie burger.
The remaining hummus was put to good use with my extra veggeroos and apple slices 🙂
HUMMDADDY! This baby was magic in my mouth (that’s what she said)!
Look at those fat ass Britney papaya spears! Courtney will die when she sees this line-up (and I had double the amount pictured, too)!
Once Kyle got home (and the dried fruit hit my blood stream) it was gym time.
Elliptical for 60 mins, followed by abs/arms and stretching…then I headed to the east side to the NYRR office to pick up my race day stuff for tomorrow. I did intervals of running/walking (a la snackface) on the way there and back, which is prob 2 miles in total?
I was fighting off hunger pangs by the time I got back to the apt, so I pounded through a plate of fruit BEFORE I even showered. Stinky hippie!
Pineapple, apple, and cantaloupe.
I just realized what an insane amount of fruit I had today! Dried and fresh. Ah summer love!
This is when my day got AMAZING!! Courtney, my dried fruit/bar fairy sent me an insane box of yummies!
Seriously, this perked me RIGHT up, and believe me, it was V. NECESSARY after spending the entire day trying to retrieve my blog from the cyberspace abyss…
You can’t even tell all the goodies she packed in there! My fave bars in my FAVE flavors, dried fruit up the yin-yang, the cutest reusable STRAWS (hippie love!), and David Sedaris’ Me Talk Pretty One Day cds. This 14 hour flight to Hawaii just went from dreadful to FABULOUS! Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. MADE.MY.WEEKLIFE.
I was bouncing off the walls, so Kyle put me in restraints took me to the grocery store, and then we stopped at Blockbuster on the way home.
Lazy ass that I am, I didn’t feel like cooking, so I got vegan sushi (brown rice, organic veggies, and textured protein). SUSHI is my preferred night-before-a-race meal. I think it has a good balance of carbs and protein, and is easy on my stomach, too.
Two whole rolls all for ME 😀
I inhaled this like a lady while watching Taken. Liam Neeson is a badass!
I also had 2 more apples and iced tea.
Hi, my name is Elise, and I’m an apple-aholic.
Tomorrow morning during my 10K, when I am asking myself why I feel like ass…this photo will serve as the evidence answer.
Night fellas and bellas!
Your story is exactly why SnackFace still looks boring and black, which so does not match my style. But I’m so sorry you had to go through all that! Ick! Good news is that it’s all workin’ out now!
Aw, thanks for the shout-out. Someday I may be able to do more than intervals, maybe a frickin 10K like you! Shooo, homes. Good luck! You’ll be fab. The newmans only give you more energy.
Good luck on your 10K!
I am computer retarded, so I completely understand! Usually, I just hand my laptop to the hubby and say “fix it”!
Delicious eats today! I, too, am a fruit addict. That sushi looks amazing as well.
Good luck on your 10k tomorrow! I’m sure you’ll do great.
Much love,
Rachel
Good luck in the race today! I am sure you will do great–I can’t believe you do so many races! That is awesome!
Hahaha–thanks for the papaya love photo…I would have totally eaten double that amount too! I am so happy that the package arrived before your trip! David Sedaris + a long flight + plenty of dried fruit = a match made in heaven :o)
Courtney
Deep breaths! Breathe in, breathe out! It will be okay 😉
I refused to get sucked in to Paris Hiltons show – I mean, I’m already addicted to Bravo!! By the way MTVs new shows? Hmmm…not too sure about some of those.
The heel is the best part!!! GOOD LUCK this morning 😀 I hope you leave everyone in the dust (and find a Sabra truck again)!
I’m in the process of switching over to WordPress too, so I feel your pain. In my mind, my blog is beautiful. On the screen, not so much. Oh well. In time, it shall improve!
Have so much fun on your trip! But honestly, I’m a bit worried about the fact that you don’t have an immediate supply of hummus waiting for you in Hawaii. May the force be with them…
wowza! look at that sushi!!!!!!!!! TALENT!
2 things it’s impossible to eat too much of: fruit and hummus. The more the better!
GOOD LUCK with your race- though looking at the clock now, it’s probably over. Hope all went well 🙂
i know…seriously, it’s pathetic that i watch such crap. no sabra truck this time 🙁
Isn’t it the worst?! Eventually we will both have gorgeous pages… Believe me, I have been contemplating all the possible ways I could somehow sneak sabra on to the plane…can you imagine my parents getting a call that their daughter is being detained for smuggling illegal products into Hawaii? It’s not like hummus could ruin the natural ecosystem, right?
I know exactly what you mean by the blog turning into something bigger than you imagined. The good news is that you are connecting and creating value!
Aww, so sweet! Thanks Joy!
I’m an apple-aholic as well… love the crisp sweetness! NO shame!
I’m sure people will find you again! No worries!
Good luck with the race!!!!
Ohhh, I have not spotted those PEANUT BUTTER Newman O’s yet…and I thought the original’s were bombbb enough!
Your veg. burg. sandwich looks amazing, I just wanna eat it! LIke I said before, i’m an apple-a-holic too, my mom may be an even bigger one…so we can start a group together if you feel that it’s necessary.
But I’m sorry wordpress/googlereader has been such a pain, my post won’t show up on googlereader right now eitherrrr…DANGGGIT!
Brown rice sushi rocks my world! Almost as much as you and your new .com shawty! I hope the race is amazing, and I wonder if you are running as I type? You prob already finished that 10k badboy and are refueling!!
SO I LOVE THE EAST COAST and AM DEF GOING TO MAKE SOME TRIPS TO SEE YOU IN NYC! Because I can look across lake Champlain and SEE the state of NY! Which means you can’t be that far away..right?!?!
LOVE YOU
Good luck on your 10k! My goal is to do one of those this year!
I think I have finally found someone who eats as many apples as I do! I, too, am an apple-aholic! I am glad you are figuring things out with the blog situation. Technology can be so freakn’ frustrating!
GOOD LUCK!
(And pretty sandwich :))
thanks! your blog is so cute btw, love the name 🙂
well obviously it was inspired by my raw guru, gena! last month’s wednesdays were so great, im trying to keep the things i learned in mind on a daily basis 🙂
based on your comment, and keri410’s comment, i think we COULD start up a club…but i think AA is taken, haha. maybe apple lovers anonymous?
thanks! you can do it!
woot wooooooot!! brookie boo, i cant WAIT to tear it up in nyc with yo hot ass…
sooo glad you heart the east coast. weather aside, we’ve got some flava over hurrr. (although SF is still #1, obvs)
haha, i usually do that too, but kyle was at work, and i have ZERO patience 🙂
thanks for the good luck wishes!
Well, I just got home from a wknd away and here I am! Here I am!
New blog looks great!
I wondered why I hadn’t seen any posts from you! Glad to have found you again though and am going to catch up on all of the posts that I missed. 🙂
I have a hard time with computer stuff and last week wiped out about a weeks worth of pictures from previous posts. SO FRUSTRATING!!!
Glad you got it figured out though and your new site looks great!
