Remember the other day when I asked about afternoon snacks? Well, I’m still trying to find a winner. Yesterday and today I had yogurt with cereal and extra milk. I don’t know why I like Greek Yogurt with milk over regular runny yogurt but I do. Din-ah! I made quesadillas last night and enjoyed them so much I made them again. I go through phases where I become obsessed with one … [Read more...]

My day was pretty chill, I just had one afternoon client and some mild admin work. Mid-afternoon I got hungry out of nowhere and ate a banana with sunflower seed butter while trying to decide what snack I also wanted. <- Tell me you do that too. A smoothie! Why didn’t I realize that 3 minutes ago before I ate the PB naner and toast?! Oh well… Then, I headed off to train … [Read more...]

This afternoon I had a big green smoothie in a mug. I had a couple of handfuls of cashews earlier so this just had ice, protein powder, almond milk and spinach. Drippy, delicious mess. Isn’t it weird when you have a major can’t-get-it-out-of-your-mind craving?! Today I was not stopping until I had spaghetti squash. I made a special trip for one after I had wrapped up all my … [Read more...]

Hello! I don’t know what compelled me to buy blue eyeliner last week, but I decided to give it a test run today. I thought it was a little weird at first, but I think I like it I think the key is to make everything else neutral so you don’t look like a hoochie. But, if you are a hooch definitely lay it on thick – how else you gonna advertise? Today we had a big end of … [Read more...]

There are a lot of reasons why Ben should leave me… I blogged on our honeymoon (and here and here) I watch all the reality TV he hates I eat all the watermelon and never share any with him I consume more fiber than any one girl should But the thing that irks him the most is my collection of plates. I have TONS of plates that don’t stack up right because they’re … [Read more...]

I have been trying to catch up on emails all day! Still working on it if I owe you one I picked up a few Manager’s Specials at the store earlier – a package of asparagus stir fry and lean turkey burgers. Since I had no idea what to make for dinner I decided to just combine the two. I diced up the turkey patties and cooked it up with the veggies plus seasoning. When it was … [Read more...]

I had a serious craving for cooked bell peppers and onions for dinner. That’s really all I wanted, but since I’m now a practicing member of the Church of Protein I added 2 chicken burgers and 2 veggie burgers to the mix too. Yeah 2 of each - I’m not only a follower of the Church of Protein I’m also the new leader of their cult. But, I have some scary news… Ben came home … [Read more...]

My schedule as a personal trainer is different from the normal 8 to 5 so I’ve had to adjust my eating accordingly. If I have a client at or after 6pm I eat dinner super early bird special style. That happens 4 days a week lately, so I’m already used to  this  Today it was an egg sandwich with green bean “fries”. The spread is  Laughing Cow garlic and tons of ketchup. I made … [Read more...]

After my 5pm appointment I came home for dinner before my 7pm client. I don’t know who I am anymore – all I could think of was eggs and/or tuna. Since we don’t have tuna I went with eggs. I made a big scramble with veggies and served it up with an english muffin – half with garlic laughing cow and half with jam. Jam on it. So I had eggs twice today and am looking forward to … [Read more...]

I had a few evening clients today. It’s always hard for me to decide if I should have a big snack or dinner before hand. Today I went with what I thought was dinner. Leftovers from yesterday and an unpictured bowl of cereal… Then it was all work work work When I got home I decided I wanted Meal #8 of the day to be another dinner. If you’re keeping score, that’s 2 breakfasts, … [Read more...]
