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: …
A Bientot
In the words of the great Winnie the Pooh “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” How true. Last night I had to say goodbye, for now, to my mom who hopped on a plane back to the east coast. We had a fabulous time together, exploring the city - …

Foodie Pen Pal Part II
Just like I received a package from Lindsay's Foodie Pen Pals, I also sent a package to a blog reader. It was so much fun to put together her package of treats and I am looking forward to sharing goodies with another Foodie Pen Pal next month. Here is a guest post from my pen …

The rest of the day involved walking around my neighborhood, stopping into the free cable car museum and then checking …
A snacky WIAW
I almost forgot what day it was, but thankfully I snabbed a pic of my pancake to post for today's third installment of What I Ate Wednesday. Tuesday's pancake included 1/4 cup of egg whites, 2 scoops of PB2 and half of a banana. This was a bit of an experiment and it actually came …
Healthy living on the job
I spend my days working in an office in downtown San Francisco, sitting 8 hours a day in front of a computer screen and on the phone. While I enjoy my job and the people I am serving in the community, I do not enjoy the minimal movement and the many food temptations. Everyday I …
only for a moment
The rain finally stopped Sunday morning and it would have been a cold, but refreshing day for a run. I let myself be sad for one second and then embraced the fact the pain in my lower back has gotten very minimal and pumped myself up for a hardcore pilates class. Sunday's instructor was a …
Kinda like a day back in college
Saturday definitely reminded me of a day back in college: some exercise, a lecture, free goodies and a night out. After another successful workout on the elliptical I showered and hopped in the car with Dave to head to an alumni event. This time it was a small lecture from a famed Brandeis professor and …
