I ate breakfast before exercising today (I just realized I don’t use the word “workout”) because I’m planning on heading to the gym. Since I’m studying to be certified as a Personal Trainer I’ve been trying to take more classes and talk with the instructors as much as possible.

I Ate Onion Rings
True Love… But first my dinner… I had a meeting with my new friend (Hi Karynsue!) we are trying to start a Girls on the Run Chapter in Orange County and apparently it’s a ton of work! We had a lot to chat about. Karynsue is vegan and started with an artichoke. They scare me, so I didn’t have any……

The Nutritionals are not great, as I expected… but curiosity got the best of me and I grabbed it. I didn’t…

Tired for Chocolate
Vegas is back at it! This time Ben was home to see his SpiderCat ways… My afternoon snack was a banana with PB and a Vitatop. It was way too carb-heavy and threw me into a hungry frenzy by 5:30. I ate a piece of bread with a Babybel while making dinner. I made the best egg sandwich ever! I…

Practice Safe Eating
After my morning meeting I took a detour to Coffee Bean for some iced coffee goodness. It was mostly because I had to pee and hate going places and not buying anything. This keeps me in the poor house since I drink a gallon of water a day. I used last night’s Seitan stir fry leftovers for lunch. I started…
