What’s your go-to music you listen to while working out? Everyone has some. Maybe the songs don’t make it on every playlist, but they make it on the important ones. Here’s a few of my must-haves: Michael Jackson – Thriller Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! – Mama Mia I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas Valerie – [...]

Life’s To Do List

The other day, the day I was really depressed, Tina wrote a post where she outlined all the things she wanted to accomplish in her life. I thought this was a great idea. I’ve done Thanksgiving Resolutions, I’ve done New Year’s Resolutions, but I’ve never outlined long-term, not only goals, but just things I want [...]
Turn That Frown Upside Down

If you follow me on Twitter you might have noticed I wasn’t in a great mood yesterday. In fact, I was in a really bad mood. Why? I don’t know. It’s finally asparagus season at the Greenmarket (my favorite season). How can anyone be depressed during asparagus season? Well, the weather yesterday looked like this: [...]
Meal Planning Monday 4/26
Posted in meal planning, tagged meal planning on April 26, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I am really lacking in inspiration this week. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I tend to eat the same things week after week after week. I don’t mind eating the same breakfast of a smoothie and yogurt, but the same lunches and dinners are starting to wear on me. Since I have most [...]
My Birthday
Posted in About Me, tagged birthday on April 25, 2010 | 3 Comments »
My birthday is in 10 days. May 5, 1985 is the day I was born. I’ve always had mixed feelings about my birthday. I often build things up to be something better than what they are and then I’m left feeling disappointed. Unfortunately my birthday is usually no different. But I think I’ve gotten better [...]

We have a blog at work. Have I mentioned that here? About 15 of us have a rotating schedule and someone blogs once per day. I’ve written about recipes I’ve made, the OSCARs, and a cooking lessons we received from one of the VPs at the office. For today’s work blog post I wrote about [...]
Shopping!

With spring kind of sort of upon us (come on nicer weather!) it’s become clear that I am in desperate need of new clothing. Perhaps you remember when I had my big closet purge last fall? As cathartic as that was I also gave away a lot of stuff and at some point I need [...]
Vegan Gifts for Mom
Posted in baking, family, tagged baking, family on April 20, 2010 | 4 Comments »
My mother recently became a vegan. Have I mentioned that? It’s really quite remarkable. My mother has, I’m pretty certain, been overweight her entire life. She’s done all types of diets–Weight Watchers, low-fat, Jenny Craig, juice diets, etc. etc. But she’s always gained weight back or given up. She also has high blood pressure, high [...]

Running with New Feet

I finally got new running shoes! They are actually the same as my old sneakers, except they’re teal. I figured if it’s not broke then why fix it? Remember back in August when I got the pink ones? I can’t believe how worn out they are compared to the teal ones. I took the new [...]
