I’m sorry for the missing lunch time post, my little heart (the only part of me that is little) just wasn’t into it today. I think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder aka “S.A.D.” It was rainy and gloomy here today 🙁 And it’s hard to get a hold of friends to talk to when they’re all on West coast time….

Gear: Neck Gaiter
I tried a new piece of running gear from Target this morning – A Neck Gaiter. It is $14.99. I don’t think the weather was cold enough for me to really appreciate it so I’m going to give an update when it gets a little colder. Even though it was sprinkling on me this morning it wasn’t that cold and…

Cottage Cheese Stuffed Shells
Ever since I bought a HUGE tub of cottage cheese from Costco I have been looking for a recipe to use a lot of ’em! I decided to make stuffed shells, but switch ricotta for cottage cheese. You could tell the difference, but they still turned out yummy! I don’t like following recipes, so I basically mixed up cc, seasonings,…

Weight-loss Lesson #1
Weight-loss Lesson #1: Don’t shop hungry! Because if you do you might end up buying dark chocolate Chex mix and eating half the bag on the way home. And then trying some in a cup with milk – yes I went there. If you shop hungry, you might also buy honey mustard pretzels and rip open the bag because that’s…

R.I.P Fishies
Before I get into the sad details of our dying fish… Breakfast was Pumpkin Oat Bran topped with PB and granola. I am curious how long oat bran without PB would keep me full because the combo really sits like a brick in my stomach. I am loving this pecan granola by the way… Marathon Training: 4.5 miles – I…

Portabella Burgers
I remember the first time I had a portabella burger. It was during freshman orientation at Whittier College (I ended up transferring after freshman year). I had recently decided to take veganism for a spin, but knew nothing about being vegan or even vegetarian for that matter. I remember being so impressed and almost awestruck by the flavor and meaty-ness…

Boxed Lunch & Pic with Meb
Today I had a boxed lunch. Luckily, it was boxed by me so it was exactly what I wanted 🙂 A tuna wrap, carrots and grapes. I also ate the apple of course. Jealous Much? My friend Rondell has a production company in California (how LA, right?). Meb aka “the best US male marathoner/NYC marathon winner” came to his studio…

Gear: Target Running Pants
This morning I took my new Target running pants for a test “run” – ha, get it? I am in serious need of cold weather gear since I never ran with capris or tights in California. I loved them! They were a little thicker than my other tights I got from a dept store (JC Penney?) and I like that…

Mint Chocolate Chip Yogurt
I found this yogurt at the store on Friday – Breyer’s Mint Chocolate Chip, and had to try it. I love mint & chip ice cream and hoped this would be as tasty. I knew it would be a reach, but I thought I’d take a shot. It was okay. It tastes a little artificial, and it’s not ice cream,…
