Do you find yourself with stacks of magazines and you never remember signing up for any them? Yesterday, I went through a whole bunch of magazines that I have accumulated through free trails from race registrations and pulled out the workouts and recipes before I recycled them. Now I have the essentials and I don't …

Friends, Fish and Funnies
You can't go wrong when you end your day with an old friend, sushi and laughs. Last night after another relaxing and torturous pilates class (yes those two adjectives are exactly how I would describe pilates classes), Dave and I met up with a college friend who was in town for the night. These are …
WIAW Birthday Edition
Happy Birthday! No not to me .... but to my wonderful boyfriend Dave! Yesterday he turned the big 25 and we celebrated in style. First I had to make it through the workday... 50 minutes on the elliptical, showered, made lunch and breakfast, out the door before 7:30 am - I was on a roll …
Sleeeeepy Sunday
Sundays are usually a day of resting, grocery shopping, gyming and walking. And all of these things were accomplished yesterday. My body was exhausted from my pilates class on Saturday and all of the exploring we did, but I knew I still wanted to get to the gym, so I fueled myself with some breakfast. …
Everyone loves matzo ball soup
It has been 5 days since the beginning of passover and I am surviving the lack of leavened products. The hardest part for me is avoiding peanuts!

Tuesday morning's pancake was a PUMPKIN pancake!Made with egg whites, half a banana, baby scoop of protein …
Scenes from Sunday
Happy Passover! It was certainly a happy passover morning because Dave made us Matzah Brei: Matzah, soaked in water, then eggs and sauted in a pan. (Check out Itzlinz for a great recipe). SOOO good! The day was filled with lots of walking to retrieve the needed food items for the week. First we went …
A forgotten feeling
Guess what these babies did yesterday?!? They ran!! Well really just a quick jog to pilates and then another jaunt to the gym, but still, those few blocks were more or less pain free. I can't remember the last time I did not feel any pain trying to move faster than a walking pace. I …
WIAW #3 – Full of Veggies
I don't normally find myself eating a parfait because they are usually made with yogurt (which my stomach does not like), but yesterday morning I made myself a delicious, cottage cheese parfait: Plain cottage cheese Heaping scoop of PB2 Half of a banana Sprinkling of banana nut cheerios Lunch involved plenty of veggies: Lettuce greens …
The comfort of routine
With my mom no longer here to play tourist, I went back to work as usual. And while I of course miss my mom and our adventures, it was nice to go back to the everyday routine and settle in the comfort of normalcy. Breakfast was full of protein to fuel me through Monday morning: …
