Why is that thing green?

As promised, the rest of the recycled balls came into play this morning for breakfast. I had a small but loaded breakfast cookie. The overnight mix contained 1 tbsp ground flax, 1 tbsp oat bran, 2 tbsp extra thick rolled oats, 1/2 mashed banana, 1 tsp south-of-the-border pistachio butter, and 1 chopped Hershey’s Kiss. This [...]

Recycled balls

(What kind of blog is this anyway?) Before we get into the sloppy seconds, let’s start at the beginning … Yesterday evening, I met up with my favorite Brooklyn bloggers — Vani, Emily, and Diana — at Hanco’s, the latest go-to spot when in need of a ball-fix. The ladies all ordered sandwiches, but I [...]

Dancer and prancer and donner …

And that title does not in any way refer to me actually dancing. Because you should know that I absolutely cannot dance in a way that doesn’t make me look like I need to be in a hospital stat. Anyway, breakfast … Breakfast was none other than the dazzler I’ve been eating all week: cinnamon [...]

Intermission

I’m surfacing for just a moment to do a quick recap of the day, and then I’ll be back into the school/work/sleep abyss for the next 24 hours! Breakfast was more cinnamon bun on flax-oat bran: With 1/2 sliced apple and 1/3 cup yogurt for dipping, all dusted in cinnamon: To hold me over until [...]

Didn’t eat everything …

When I got to work this morning, there was a message waiting for me from my 11am visit: “Sarah, don’t eat lunch today. I’m cooking for you.” And here’s the homemade mangu that greeted me when I arrived at their apartment: Before you get all bent out of shape, I promise I have not been [...]

Layers of stress

I did go out for a breather last night to combat the homework- and heat-induced hallucinations … and ended up running 3.2 miles! This was a very exciting accomplishment, 12-minute miles and all, as the chafing of my shirt against my arms was more painful than my aggravated muscles. Stats: 38 minutes, 304 calories. I [...]

Time crunch, crunch time

I had very important hotel breakfast plans this morning. I hopped out of bed at 7:30, threw on some running gear, grabbed an expandable bag (hotel buffets and I get along very well) and went for a nice and easy jog (1.3 miles, 15 minutes, 128 calories, average heart rate 154, max 165) up to [...]

It’s genetic

My mom and John got stuck in quite a bit of NJ Turnpike traffic last night and didn’t get to Brooklyn until around 8:30 or 9. I snacked on the orange pieces I saved from Friday’s work event while I waited: When they did arrive, I decided we should take advantage of the car and [...]

Nuts, balls, and freebies

So last, night, even through I was all caked up, I managed to have one last little snack before I went to bed: the last 1/2 cup of my chocolate peanut butter frozen yogurt (unfrozen) from a couple nights ago. So so so so so so delicious. And there’s not even anything junky in it! [...]

A thousand cakes

There was more work with eggs to be done this morning! I made french toast with two slices of whole wheat bread that my coworker Jessica gave to me earlier in the week and a batter that consisted of an EB egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of soymilk. I turned the french toast [...]
