I ate the exact same thing for dinner tonight that I had last Sunday for lunch! Luckily, it wasn't leftovers of old food that I found in the back of my fridge. Who am I kidding? Chinese food doesn't last long around here! While I was out running errands I called Ben and offered to pick up ... Read More about Week Old Chinese Food

RER Likes It Hot
I bit the bullet and went to Hot Yoga today. I was really scared because Yoga 1-2 was hard for me back in California and I haven't done studio yoga in a few months. But, I have come to realize that the studio I went to in Orange County was 'fo real' and a lot more hard core than yoga here. I ... Read More about RER Likes It Hot

Late Lunch – 1 is late!
1pm is a late lunch for me - I'm usually hungry by 11am or so. But, I got caught up in some work and my hunger went away (I think I just might have been thirsty).

Bright and Early
I woke up bright and early - 5am to be exact - this morning to hit up a Spinning class.

Soup and Bread
Even though this Amy's soup was the "main dish" of my lunch... I was most looking forward to the bread! I am loving this GH bread, I just wish it wasn't double the price of the usual bread I buy. Soup, carrots with hummus and glorious bread. I ended up leaving some of the soup and putting AB on ... Read More about Soup and Bread
Broke As A Joke
I was in a rush to get out the door this morning so I threw my laptop with my flash drive still in it, into my bag. When I pulled it out of the bag at my next location, the drive was completely bent!

Out of Order
This post is out of order, but my day felt kind of out of order too. After dinner Ben and I hit up the gym for a walk on the treadmill.

MRI and a Hunk of Bread
After breakfast, I rushed off to my MRI appointment. It was very interesting because I expected it to be like an x-ray - just throw a protective cover on, take a few pics and you're done! Nope. I had to lay in the machine for about 20 minutes wearing headphones so the loud noises didn't freak me ... Read More about MRI and a Hunk of Bread

I Scream, You Scream
I am screaming with happiness on the inside because I love ice cream. A lot. I made a big ol' sundae after dinner. I used TJ's soy ice cream, choc syrup, strawberries, coconut and GRANOLA. Yum.

Fat Tuesday and Pack A Lunch
Since I am not working a full time job right now this means I am writing, studying and blogging from home. And it also means I'm sitting just a few steps from the kitchen all day. Not a good predicament when I'm trying to avoid random snacking. So yesterday I went out and got myself a lunch bag to ... Read More about Fat Tuesday and Pack A Lunch
