Good morning.  Today is THE DAY.  You know -- orthopaedic doctor day.  My appoint is at 9, so come back for lunch and a recap.  Cross your fingers!   I have my list of symptoms all ready to go, and I'm planning to ask him about the supplement hyperimmunized milk factor (HIMF), which I read [...]

It is SO HOT in Florida right now -- I think it reached 95 degrees today! OVERHEATING.  Our car does not have air conditioning!! It's like sitting in a hot coffin at traffic lights.   The Kashi Go Clean cereal I ate around 3 kept me full for HOURS.  Like, freakishly full.  It was so [...]

I was struck by a serious hunger all morning -- I think that this crazy schedule has impacted my dinners, and they are slowly getting lighter and lighter (I just don't have time eat a big meal or by the time I get home, I'm not very hungry).  As a result, I'm starving in the [...]

Morning!  My banana oatmeal featured my favorite seasonal fruit: cherries! Mmm!  Let me tell you, it was a juicy mess to halve a bunch of cherries this morning, but it was well worth it in the end!   My oatmeal contained:   1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 cup water 1 sliced banana [...]

Today was a typical day in Caitlin-land...   Work was alright.  I finished up my day shift and had two mid-afternoon snacks -- random cereal: In a tupperware bowl. :)   And a bowl of fruit (banana + nectarine). I've noticed my ability to eat a "real dinner" is diminishing rapidly as I try to [...]

Good afternoon!  Lunch was pretty simple:  soup and salad! I had 1 cup of the Wolfgang Puck Organic Tortilla soup, which I boosted up with about 1/3 block of baked tofu (leftovers from the weekend). Plus a nice crunchy salad. And I just snacked on my first mid-afternoon snackie:  Chobani + a crushed Kashi TLC [...]

One of the biggest advantages about working from home is that I get to wear PJs and soft, old shirts all day.  :)  Here's my funny t-shirt of the day: (Wet spots are from my hair.... I may not dress up, but I do shower!)   Breakfast was DELICIOUS! I added ground flax seed to [...]

Good evening.  It's past 10:00 PM, and I'm just getting home from work.  So this is going to be a quickie (with some good tips at the end)!   Mid-afternoon snacks included Chobani + Kashi TLC Bar + handful of cereal: And grapes: Before I left for work at 6, I ate a whole wheat [...]

Hello, hello! I hope your Monday is going well.   I just ate a fabulous lunch: I grilled a burrito in the George Foreman for about 4 minutes.  It was a nice, crunchy change!  Inside my burrito was black beans, zucchini, yellow pepper, onion, and cheddar cheese.  Plus salsa on the side. And a bowl of [...]

Eight hours of sleep felt pretty good, but truthfully -- I could've slept 8 more!  I did wake up to a lovely breakfast, which made Monday a little more bearable: Somewhere in that mess is a Hodgson's Mills Insta Bake Whole Wheat Waffle, topped with Chobani Vanilla yogurt, flax seed, crushed almonds, and a chopped [...]

Today's eating spree ruined my appetite for dinner!    I snacked on watermelon around 7:00 PM out of sheer boredom: And dinner waited until 9 PM.  I wasn't hungry but I figured I needed to eat something before laying down -- or I'd be up at 3:00 AM, rummaging in the kitchen! :) I made [...]

My grandpa's birthday party was fun! My father's side of the family was all there, and a few of my grandpa's friends came for the party.   My aunts are great cooks, and I must admit I have been looking forward this a lovely buffet all week!  I snacked on pita chips and hummus while [...]

Bowling and Beers was tons of fun, but  I'm not going to lie, but I've felt better! :) Of course, I've also felt worse after a night out.... it's all relative!   Breakfast was super-stabilizing: The star was some Amazing Grass Wheatgrass.  I think my body needs it today! Plus, Chobani + crushed Kashi TLC [...]
