Diary of a Snackerton

4:55 AM GAH! What time is it? Squint in vain trying to read clock.  Should have located glasses before removing contacts… which I remind myself every morning.

5:01 AM WHY am I awake?!

5:08 AM May as well get up and go to the gym…

5:48 AM My brain (and calves) are not having any of this.  Why did I want to run a half-marathon again?

6:20 AM Done! 6 miles in 58 minutes.  I really don’t feel like working my abs right now… okay, maybe just a few sit-ups.

6:38 AM Breakfast!

Rye Bread with SmartBeat and honey; 0% Fage with diced apple, pumpkin, peanut butter and agave.

7:05 AM Post iHerb giveaway.  (Have you entered?)

7:5 AM Is there any point in straightening my hair if it’s snowing out? Only if I don’t want to look like a broom.

8:38 AM “Ladies and gentlemen, we are being held by the dispatcher because of the train traffic ahead of us.  Please be patient.” This always happens when the weather is a little off…

8:53 AM “Ladies and gentlemen, we are being held by the dispatcher because of the train traffic ahead of us.  Please be patient.”  Key heart palpitations.

9:02 AM Made it!

9:50 AM Starving already?! Hello, orange!

10:25 AM Hungry again already?!

10:38 AM Apparently.

What, you don’t eat jerky before 11?

11:50 AM Lunch is going to be a little later than usual today… apple time.

12:30 PM Oof.  Too much fiber…

1:20 PM Trek out into the slush and rain to meet…

1:30 PM Ilena and Eileen!

Eileen treated us to lunch at FreeFoods NYC, Matthew Kenney’s midtown restaurant.  I’ve been here once before with Ilena, but it was such a treat to be able to meet for lunch in the middle of a workday!   I ordered the Chopped Mexican salad with red chili chips, avocado, black beans, jicama, chopped tomato, cilantro, white corn, goat gouda, tomato-chili dressing.


Thanks again for lunch, Eileen and Ilena!
2:15 PM Dodge puddles and raindrops on the way back to work while thinking about smuggling a space heater into my office.

3:59 PM Tiiiired.  Hungry?  Tired. Hungry.

This is Clif’s answer to the Larabar.  It’s gluten-free, 70% organic and made with dried fruit, nuts and sea salt.  I was pretty excited when I found these in stores the other day!  Today I tried the blueberry flavor.  It has two layers: dates on the bottom, blueberries on the top.  The dates have an almost cakey texture that I loved.  I was expecting to see (and taste) big grains of sea salt, which I think would have made the bar a little more interesting.  It was still pretty good though, and I’d buy it again.

4:52 PM Canceled plans with Leslie :-(   Darn “snowicane”!  I miss you, L!

5:12 PM Head back into the freezing rain, plunge my foot ankle-deep into a dirty, icy puddle, but get home in one piece.

5:59 PM Ari is starving, orders Thai.  I’m still pretty full from all of my snackage, but we share fresh vegetable rolls.  Rather, he takes one bite and proclaims, “I do not like these!” and I eat the rest.

6:27 PM Finish watching Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead (loved, and am now in love with Marisa Tomei)… it’s only taken me five days to watch.

7:40 PM Make a batch of Annie’s mac & cheese with a can of salmon, Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge, chili flakes, salt, pepper and nooch.  Have possibly been daydreaming about this all day.  (Ari gagged when he smelled it.)

8:15 PM Break out The Lite Choice‘s Hazelnut Fudge soft serve while watching Glee.

8:27 PM There’s not that much left in the carton… I should probably go finish it.  So I do.

9:02 PM Grey’s Anatomy is a re-run :-(   My night of vegging will now consist of lying horizontal, soothing my food baby.  Life is pretty exciting, let me tell ya!

Have a great night :-)
