Today’s eats were really random… since I ate a big breakfast at noon I didn’t get hungry again until around 2:30/3pm – and I don’t think I was really even hungry, probably just tired from the whole “I ran 19 miles today” thing. I ate a mango and nachos for “lunch”. Yes, I ate nachos. I just threw them together…

True Life: I’m training for a Marathon
MTV’s True Life series inspired this post. It’s crazy how much training for a marathon changes your day to day life. Last night I made sure to avoid alcohol, carb load and get to sleep early. Hey, I didn’t say it was a dramatic day to day, I just said it changes stuff. This morning I woke up early to…

New Running Shoes
I get excited over new running shoes like Carrie used to get over Manolos. For real. After deciding I desperately needed new ones I did some internet research to compare and contrast my two all time favorites – Asics Gel Nimbus & Adidas Supernova with a new brand – Mizuno. Today I went to the mecca of running shoes to…

Love Hate Relationship with Cereal
I have a love/hate relationship with cereal. I love it. But, I hate it too. Whenever there is a sugary cereal in my house I will eat it until it’s gone (that usually happens quickly). Randomly. When I’m bored/not hungry/whatever. Most of this misses the camera, so I’m not held accountable 🙁 Right now I have a bunch of Nature’s…

Vegan Chocolate & The Intuitive Eating Process
Your guesses were correct – I made tofu curry for dinner. I squeezed out the excess water in the tofu for one hour. Then, sauteed a sweet onion and chopped some carrots. I put the tofu, onion, carrots, coconut milk and spices into the crockpot on low for 4 hours (until it had thickened and the carrots were soft). This…

Vegan for a Day
I am participating in Vegan for a Day, part of Vegan Week hosted by Katy and Michelle. I don’t eat meat, but do eat dairy, fish and eggs. (I usually refer to myself as a pescatarian.) But, I knew one vegan day would not be hard for me. I actually had a day recently that was completely vegan “by accident”…

Chickpea Fail
I roasted a bunch of chickpeas into oblivion today. But, I did still snack on a bunch of them (even in their charred state) as I was cooking dinner so I wasn’t hungry when dinner actually rolled around. For din-din I made Spinach & Feta dip with Oikos yogurt… Ingredients: 1 small container plain Oikos, 1 cup frozen spinach, 1/4c…

My Little Cottage
I don’t know what happened but I hadn’t eaten cottage cheese in months and then recently “rediscovered” it and now want to eat it for breakfast everyday! I’m going to switch it up tomorrow since I’m doing vegan Thursday tomorrow as part of Vegan Week. Yes, I know it’s supposed to be a whole week, but I don’t think that’s…
