August 31, 2008: Sweet Home NJ Day 2- Updated with Dinner

I woke up this morning excited to have my very favorite NJ delicacy- BAGELS.  You all know that carbs/bread are my life, and real bagels may be my very favorite variety!  Here’s my breakfast- 1/2 a cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter and fig jam and a banana.  Perfect.

Lunch will most likely involve some really [...]

August 30, 2008: Sweet Home NJ- Updated

I took an early train up to NJ this morning and had to get breakfast on the Amtrak, which luckily had something remotely healthy- a yogurt, a banana, and black tea.

The blueberry yogurt/banana combo was quite delicious!

Due to a relatively small breakfast, I was quite hungry for lunch with my family.  I had a big [...]

August 28. 2008: Bad Anna!- Updated

So I did something highly unlike me this morning- I overslept!  Luckily I was able to get ready at record speed (without perfectly applied makeup, I’m afraid), pack up my breakfast, and haul my butt out the door so I was only a couple of minutes late.  But still- tardiness is not me.  And my [...]

August 27, 2008: Staying Motivated…- Updated

That is the goal of my humpday today.  I started out with a return to my very favorite meal, overnight oats made 1/2 c. oats, almond milk and 1 T. flax soaked overnight and 2-3 T. plain soy yogurt, nutmeg, I frozen banana, and Stevia today. 
 
For some reason, I really really really wanted peanut butter [...]

August 26, 2008: Trying Something New…- Updated with Dinner

So I tried something new for breakfast today- rice pudding made with some leftover brown rice.  I put <1c. cooked brown rice in a pan with about 1/2 c. almond milk, vanilla, and nutmeg and let it simmer for about 20 minutes last night while I had dinner.  Then this morning, I added 1/3c. plain [...]

August 25, 2008: Happy Birthday, Dad!- Updated

I’ll start off the day with saying happy birthday to my fantastic father!  I love you, Dad!

I was pretty hungry for breakfast this morning, which was my normal- oats soaked in 1/2c. almond milk, some stevia, a banana, plain yogurt, and nutmeg.  I bought some almond milk on a whim the other day but was [...]

August 24, 2008: An Equally Lazy Sunday- Updated

The weather in DC is beautiful… perfect for Mike and I to be lounging on his couch watching the Yankees .  We didn’t finish brunch until 2pm today because we decided to go to the gym and the farmer’s market (to get potted herbs) before eating.  We had (suprise) omelettes!  Here are the delicious veggies [...]

August 23, 2008: A Lazy, Indulgent Saturday- Updated

So I slept late today and had brunch with Mike- omelettes!  We haven’t made these in a couple of weeks so were thrilled to have our very favorite meal.  Here is the obligatory veggies cooking picture:

P.S.- I love love love these yellow zucchini!  They are on sale for 99 cents a pound at Safeway- awesome.
And [...]

August 22, 2008: An Undeserved Weekend- Updated

I feel so guilty being excited about the weekend- I have only been at work for 3 days this week and haven’t gotten as much accomplished as I had hoped! For breakfast, I had 1/2c. oats and 1 T. flax soaked in full flavor vanilla soy milk and topped with fake sugar and a banana. [...]
