In February of 2008 I stepped onto a Quantas flight from LA to Australia and unloaded my books and crosswords in the seat back pocket in front of me. Little did I know that this pocket belonged to the seat of one of my soon-to-be dearest friends, Vanessa. Vanessa and I studied abroad in Australia …

I know him – he’s on TV
Day one of sugar cleanse: Honestly, I did not really have any strong craving for anything sweet. In the morning I wanted to dip my spoon into my jar of cookie butter but was able to restrain myself and left the apartment with no regrets. There was still plenty of snacking to refuel after my …
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 …
Freaky Friday
Well...not exactly body switching with Lindsay Lohan (no thank you), but it is deja vu. Exactly a month ago I was taking this exact same flight to North Carolina for a business trip and thankfully this is the last time I will have to make this long journey across the country for a quick work …
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 …
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 …

Wednesday was the day I remembered I love eggs. After an arm workout posted by Julie, I came home and made this fantastic egg sandwich: Sandwich thin Egg whites 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast and of course KETCHUP, yum This, plus leftovers from last night, fueled me for the day. While it was snowing in the east …
A day of experiments
Yesterday was a day of experiments... For breakfast I was craving something on the savory side so I slapped some tomato sauce on a sandwich thin and sprinkled some "fake" cheese in between the bread. When I got to work I stuck it in the microwave ... and ... tada! Ooey cheesy-ish goodness in the a.m. …
Yes, last time I checked it was January
Hard to believe that it's the middle of winter after the day we had yesterday. Saturday morning I enjoyed the glorious weather and went for a seven mile run. I decided to implement the tricks I learned during my physical therapy session and dedicated my entire run to focusing on my feet placement and overall …
Make new friends but keep the old
I have to work today but this weekend was full of fun with good friends, new and old. The best part of having great friends who may not live close by is that when you do get together it's as if time hasn't passed. You pick right back up from where you left off, laughing …
