After a less-than-fantastic day at work (in a nutshell: unexpected lay-offs that affected one of my officemates and a few people I’ve gotten to know around the facility), I did have an awesome workout at gymnastics. I guess a lot of people were out for spring break, so the gym was pretty empty. I did some…

A Week of Vegan Dinners (WIAW #24)
Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is a little different, as it highlights 6 different dinners rather than one single day of meals. Though I’d intended to prepare an entire week’s worth of vegan meals, trying the newly-opened Moe’s Original Barbecue (pretty tasty!) and visiting New Orleans on Saturday (when seafood beckons, you answer it!) got…
A Falafel Failure + WIAW #23
This week (M-F) Mark and I have been eating completely vegan dinners (expect a wrap-up next week), and next up on our list was homemade falafel. I absolutely love falafel (next to my beloved hummus, it’s the best vehicle for chickpeas, though roasted chickpeas are a close third), but I’ve never made it myself. Because…
#22: What I Ate…Easter Edition
This past Easter was a wonderful one filled with quality family time and delicious food. Shortly after the in-laws arrived Friday evening, we enjoyed boiled crawfish (second time in 2 weeks). These little guys were larger than the last batch, but not quite as spicy. We slept late Saturday morning, joining my parents at their…
WIAW #21…What’s with the cold?
The last couple of days have been windy and cold. I’m going to let that be the reasoning for skipping yesterday evening’s run (instead of my propensity for laziness and making excuses). Plus, after convincing Mark to sign up for Color Me Rad as well, I’m not too concerned about whether I run the entire…
Spring is in the Air (+ WIAW #20)
Not only is it one of my favorite days, but it’s the first official day of spring! I’m sure all you northerners are rejoicing toward the heavens, but around these parts (said in a most exaggerated southern accent), the azaleas are in bloom, the birds are singing, and my car is coated with a thick…
Exercise Benefits + WIAW #19
I’m probably a horrible person for wishing my life way, but I’m so happy it’s finally Wednesday, the ever-so-wonderful hump day. More importantly, I’m so happy that I’m able to walk like a normal (by appearance, anyway) person today! After having a frustrating day at work yesterday, I let out some steam during my evening…
WIAW #18: It’s Easy Eating Green
This month’s What I Ate Wednesday theme is Going Green! What is it about green vegetables that gives them such a bad reputation? Ask a group of children (even teenagers) if they enjoy eating Brussels sprouts, asparagus, collard greens, or peas, and the majority would tell you they despise them. I cringed at the sight…
WIAW #17: I’m no rabbit…
I have to admit that tonight’s post almost didn’t happen. I’m tired! I had a great workout at gymnastics tonight, thanks to being the only person in class for a good 15 minutes. Yesterday I completed a 1.5 mile run! My previous run (1 mile) was last Tuesday (yes, I slacked off Thursday and Saturday),…
#16: What I Ate…While On Vacation!
It’s been a crazy busy week since returning from Clearwater & Orlando (a win for work, but a loss for the blog!)—but it wouldn’t be a proper Wednesday without linking up for What I Ate Wednesday. This week, I thought I’d share some of the fabulous (and disappointing) meals we consumed on vacation. First up:…
