We all have good days and bad days. When the “bad” days start to be a little too frequent it’s a good time to reevaluate what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right. It doesn’t help to dwell on the bad day. Today was one of my bad days because I didn’t eat full meals so I was really…

Frosting your waffle
It is practically a tradition for me to go to Costco on Sundays. I look forward to it even! Weirdo. So, as expected, I went to Costco today and came home with 3 new finds (I’ve been eyeing them for a while and finally had the need). Once I got home I sampled each one too 🙂 Wait, let me…

Post race Saturday – Burritos and funnel cake
Saturday evening we met up with some friends at a near-by Oktoberfest. Before we left I snacked on some carrots because I hadn’t eaten veggies all day! and some pita chips.

Condiment Kingdom
Ben and I met up with our friends, Matt and Kristin, for dinner tonight. We went to Chick-fil-A since Matt’s work was holding a fundraiser there. Before that… I got home super hungry after work. I tried to appease my hunger with carrots, chips and ketchup, but that didn’t work. After eating this I grabbed a bunch of random bites…

Salad in a hummus container
“Salad in a hummus container” doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as “Oats in a Jar”, but I thought I’d continue today’s theme of eating my meals in food containers that are hard to scrape out 🙂 When I saw I had this much hummus left I decided to make a salad right in the container. This is a…
