Where has winter gone? I realize I live in California but remember I reside in San Francisco where it's never really warm and never close to freezing, but it is foggy, windy and cool. Stepping outside yesterday morning it felt like we had walked to LA. So after eating this balanced breakfast, Advil included, we …
Fond Memories
Friday consisted of Almondjay staples: 9-grain cereal (with sprinkles of course) and a cottage cheese salad combo: And while these meals might have been part of the routine, Friday evening we hosted some people who we do not see on a regular basis. There were a few people from our alma mater, Brandeis University, who happened …
Night at the Museum
Thursday Night - otherwise known as Nightlife at the Academy of Sciences. Dave and I love going to this 21+ open night at the museum and we have been so many times I have lost count. For $12 you get to look at all of the cool permanent displays, listen to music, drink and explore …
Sprinkles to sushi
Breakfast was nice and colorful: 9 grain cereal (made just like yesterday), complete with sprinkles! My glute and back are feeling better every day, but I had a chance to see a doctor mid-day on Wednesday so I took the chance to have it looked at by a professional. Other than confirming my own inkling …
9-grains of deliciousness
Instead of using old fashioned oats for my hot cereal I decided to shake things up a bit and get wild and crazy with a 9-grain cereal mix. I cooked it the same way I would regular oats, 1/4 cup of cereal, 1/2 cup of almond milk, sliced banana, and I topped it off with …
Pudding cup!
If there ever was a day to enjoy a pudding cup, monday was the day. I loved vanilla pudding as a kid and when I saw these in Whole Foods the other day I couldn't resist. Already by lunch I needed a pick me up and while a beach-side vacation would have been ideal, I …
Oscar night means faux-fried rice
Walking is becoming more natural again as the pain continues to subside. I'm dying to run but I think that is still a few days off so for now I will be content with sweating via the bike. For someone reason Oscar night seemed like the perfect night to try a new recipe. As I …
On the mend
I can walk again! Before I would call it hobbling and yesterday I was actually able to walk around with only mild discomfort 🙂 Reading on the bike was part of the morning routine to loosen up a bit and then a met a college friend for a nice lunch out. Because I was tossing …
Home Office
My recent injury left me feeling even worse on Friday morning so instead of hobbling to and from the bus, I nursed my pain from the comfort of my own home. It was nice to wake up and work on some emails and make myself I nice warm bowl of pumpkin butter oats. Cook up …
Finding the positives
There are many bloggers who post inspirational/motivational quotes and pictures on Monday morning to start of the week with hopeful thoughts. Personally, this week has felt a bit too long and has ended a bit less than positive. So I am posting some of my own pick me ups for all of you to enjoy …
