Not that I’m bitter

Posted on March 31, 2010 by lowandbhold

Hey guys! The weather here is unreal right now. I left work at lunch and my car read 86 degrees. Crazy! If the wind wasn’t blowing 100 miles an hour, it would be gorgeous. Oklahoma has some gnarly winds. We also have a lot of these.

[source]

I’m totally not looking forward to another Tornado season. That tornado actually occurred in a town 5 minutes from where I grew up when I was 12. It nearly wiped out the whole town, and there are still houses without roofs when you drive by the area. Scary stuff. That was a completely random tangent for a food blog. My bad.

Moving on. I thought I had everything planned out and ready to go this morning. I can get ready and out the door in 16 minutes on a good day. I only wash my hair every other day (unless I have a gross, sweaty workout the night before) and I take a bath every night, so I’m not forsaking hygiene I promise.

However, today the zipper was broken on the skirt I was planning to wear (did I mention the whole Murphy’s Law thing yet?), so I ended up leaving the house in a huge rush – thus leaving my cell phone at home. Normally I wouldn’t have cared, but I promised B (guy I’m dating) I’d call him when I left work tonight so we can meet at the theater.

So I went home to get it at lunch, and while there I had some leftover Baked Minestrone.

This was definitely a million times better today. Thirty minutes just wasn’t enough to get the flavors going last night, but after hanging out in the fridge for awhile it tasted like a whole new dish. Love that.

While I was home I got the house ready for tomorrow morning since I won’t be home until bed time tonight. Every night I get my coffee ready, lay out my outfit, put my almond milk and spinach in a blender, pack my gym/work clothes bag, etc. so I did most of that during lunch.

Sometimes it seems like my whole day revolves work around preparing for work the next day. Not that I’m bitter. Except maybe I am bitter. Just a little though. And not about my part-time job. That’s not even work. It’s that 8 hours a day of sitting at a desk that kills small parts of my soul each day. Dramatic? Yes. I told you it was one of those days

I believe in hard work and I’m really just being a big whine bag right now, I’m just really hoping to find a way soon to make all of my work match my interests better. I expounded on this here. So far… no dice. But I have faith that I’ll get there.

Again, moving on. In order to eat up some of the lovely fresh produce that’s bursting from the seams of my fridge, I packed a lovely salad to eat in my hole at the office.

Just a simple salad of arugula, yellow tomatoes (these have a fancy name but I keep forgetting to look at the carton), and 1/2 of a super delicious avocado. Seriously, the best avocadoes I’ve had in months. Are they in season right now? Oh, and I drizzled it all with balsamic vinegar.

Later on I had my new favorite snack – Greek yogurt and peanut butter. But I figured you were sick of that visual by now. And sick of my bitter, random rambling antics. So I will now depart.

What kind of natural disasters do you have where you live?

Like I said, I’m terrified of the storms we get here in Tornado Alley, but I would be just as scared of earthquakes and hurricanes if we had those.

Seeing Red

Posted on March 31, 2010 by lowandbhold

Oh, Murphy’s Law. It’s not often that I fall prey to you. But today is one of those days. I ask you to have mercy on me… there’s only so much a girl can take!

Yes, it’s been one of those mornings. I won’t go into the details. Let’s back up to last night, which was more pleasant.

It was another color-coded night. The theme? Red. My favorite color. (BOOMER!) Starting with a warm-up plate.

I love strawberries, but I think I was a bit over eager when I bought a huge carton of them at the grocery store this weekend. They’re about to go bad. For once in my life I have the problem of having too much food in the house. It feels very foreign.

So… I tried to knock out some of the groceries by cooking up a baked minestrone type dish. I went off a recipe out of Betty Crocker Vegetarian for a slow-cooker minestrone but varied it a lot.

I basically just combined one chopped onion, a cup of chopped green beans, a can of organic (no-salt added) diced tomatoes, a can of organic chickpeas, a can of organic tomato paste, 1/2 cup fresh chopped carrots, Italian seasoning and some parmesan cheese and baked it at 375 for about 30 minutes.

While it was baking, I made a sweet potato, egg and cottage cheese wrap.

I’ve missed having wraps in my life, and I’m loving these La Tortilla thin wraps.

When my minestrone was done I had a bowl, for quality control purposes of course.

Pretty good, but the recipe needs a little work. If you liked basil (which I don’t) I think it would really jazz up the flavor.

Oh, and about that run last night? Well, I semi-ran it. I mean I traversed the 6.5 miles, but it was windy as all get out and my knee is still hurting so I walked several times. Blah. I’m going to get a runner’s knee strap from work tonight I think.

I really need to find some new shoes, but I’ve been too busy to actually do it. Plus I think to get my discount I have to order them from the manufacturer, which will take awhile.

Anyways, today should be MUCH more relaxed at work than I have been of late, which is awesome. And tonight after work I’m going with B to see Alice in Wonderland, so I have something to look forward to! I’m determined to make this a great day.

Hope yours is great too!

On edge

Posted on March 30, 2010 by lowandbhold

At my “real job” I typically either have days where I can be totally in a bubble and not have to talk to anyone (besides via email of course) and days where the entire day seems to be spent in meetings.

Usually, I embrace meeting-filled days because they make the time go by faster, but lately I’ve had to lead some of these meetings. It puts me on edge! It’s not that I am afraid of public speaking, I just hate doing it unless I feell 100% knowledgeable about the subject matter.

So, needless to say, I had some major nerves today, especially since the meeting I had to lead was at the end of the day. It’s a good thing I had delicious food to distract me.

Lunch was the last of my leftover baked risotto.

I’ll miss it. It was good.

During my lunch break I had to run out and buy protein powder. I’ve been meaning to do this for over a week now, but kept putting it off because that stuff is so dang expensive.

At the health food store I picked up this vegan gem.

I consider this to be Crap Free because there aren’t any preservatives and the sugar content isn’t too crazy, but that’s a highly subjective opinion.

This cookie was so frickin’ good. It amazes me sometimes how delicious vegan baked goods can be. If only cheese wasn’t so delicious… I might be swayed.

Well, probably not. Because then I wouldn’t be able to eat this.

Current favorite snack by far. So swirly.

I’m also most likely going to eat this pear on my way home because I clearly enjoy eating in the car.

Even though I don’t have to work at the running store tonight, it’s still going to be a busy evening. I have to ammend my tax return (argh), run a few errands at the mall, and make attempt #2 at running 6.5 miles. I hope I can do it!

Have you done your taxes yet?

I’m a Spaz

Posted on March 30, 2010 by lowandbhold

Good morning people! How are you feeling this fine day? We are supposed to have a high of 82 degrees today. When did summer hit the OKC?? No complaints here though, bring on the heat!

Yesterday evening was quite strange… I’m already starting to get kind of frazzled with my busier schedule. During college, when my head was constantly wrapped in about a thousand things at once, I was a very forgetful and often spastic soul. I feel that lovely version of myself starting to return. Joy…

Example? Driving off from the gas station with the hose still inserted into my car. Yes, that happened. No damage was done to either gas pump or car, but I still felt quite moronic. However, I’m actually really impressed with myself that that was the first time it had happened. If you know me very well, you know that things like that are not unusual occurences. (Read: getting pulled over for driving too slowly, and getting stuck on a curb in my car, among many other things.)

When I’m focused on too many things at once, I tend to do silly things. I guess I just have to accept it, and hope that the “things” aren’t too tragic or humiliating.

While I was at said gas station, I picked up a protein bar. This is not in accordance with Crap Free Week, but I was starving (hadn’t eaten anything since 2 p.m. and it was 7:30) and figured I needed to eat something before I attempted to run 6.5 miles.

Even though it wasn’t Crap Free, this bar was pretty tasty.

My run was pretty disappointing though. I kind of knew it would be going in. I tried to tell myself that failure wasn’t an option, but there were just too many things working against me.

My IT bands were on fire for some reason.
I abhor running on the treadmill.
The longest I’ve ever run in my life was 5 miles, and that was outside.
My knee was in pain. At first it was only uncomfortable, but by mile 2.5 it was a shooting pain.

So… I decided not to push it and injure myself, and only ended up running 3 miles. I only have one and a half weeks before my 10K and I really want to be in good shape for that. And honestly, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to run farther than 3 miles on a treadmill – it’s just too monotonous for me.

Instead, I’m going to run it outside today since I don’t work at my part-time job. I think I’ll have much more success that way.

After finishing up the shortened run, I dashed home to eat some real food. All I wanted was a fresh, colorful salad.

So delicious! I don’t know why I don’t make salads more often. There was a lot going on in there!

Arugula
Baby romaine
Yellow grape ‘maters
Red grape ‘maters
One whole avocado
Four sliced strawberries
Salad dressing made of dollop of 0% Oikos and Frank’s hot sauce

Impeccable. Some of the ingredients were kind of random, but it totally worked. And all the colors made me happy.

After eating that it was already time for bed. The days just go by so quickly! I need to make a mental note to stop and savor the day more. It’s almost April! Crazy.

Hmmm…. I was planning to do a review of my New Balance shoes I received from Fitbloggin, but this post seems to be long enough alread so I’ll save that for another day.

I actually have several reviews I plan to do on a few different kinds of workout (mainly running) gear, since I’m working so closely with it right now. So I thought I’d ask… is that something you guys are at all interested in? Or would you rather I just stick to random musings about gas pumps? It’s in your hands my friends!

Do Good

Posted on March 29, 2010 by lowandbhold

Hey guys! How is your Monday treating you so far? Mine has been quite productive, I think. I just finished up the full-time job and I’m about to head to the part-time gig.

I was a little worried that I would start to dread job #2 after working a full day, but luckily I love it so much that going in feels like a treat. I was actually a little bummed yesterday that I didn’t have to go in.

Know what else I love? Having leftovers to have for lunch.

I brought in another serving of the Baked Risotto Primavera from yesterday. So good and cheesey. Perfect comfort food for a stressful day.

Later on I had my first ever blood orange.

I was so excited to spot these at the grocery store on Saturday. They are delicious little buggers.

For a more filling snack I had some plain nonfat Greek yogurt with peanut butter. So good.

Speaking of good… I thought this was extremly cool – a way for bloggers to do good! I saw this on Ashley’s blog and just had to share it.

Cloak of Positivity

Posted on March 29, 2010 by lowandbhold

Yay for Monday! My favorite day of the week!

(Did you believe that? I’m trying the whole fake it ’til you make it positivity thing, so let’s roll with it).

This week is full of possibilities. Lots of deadlines, lots of fun activities, lots of errands to finally check off the to-do list. Good times!

Yesterday was a good day, and it started with a good breakfast. I tried Oat Bran for the very first time!

I’ve always wanted to try oat bran, but I usually just end up buying oatmeal because it’s more familiar. I’m glad I bought this though, because oat bran is so much more voluminous than regular oats! I was impressed. I had it with some almond butter, sliced strawberries and a dollop of plain Oikos.

These bowls take awful pictures. They make everything look super red. I like red though, so it’s all good!

After eating that I had to finish up the laundry, wash my sheets and do a lot of work from home. Not the funnest part of the day, but it felt good to get it all done. I had to make the executive decision to post-pone my run until today. There just wasn’t enough time and I didn’t want to be stressed all day trying to rush though everything.

I’ll have to do the 6.5 miles after work tonight at the gym. Not ideal, but it will work.

Eventually I made lunch, which was Baked Risotto Primavera from this recipe. The only changes I made were using half veggie stock/half water to reduce sodium, and only using 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese. It turned out wonderfully!

I served up my portion on top of some arugula to add even more veggies into the mix.

This was a really good dish, I highly recommend the recipe. Pretty crap free too! I’m excited for the leftovers.

I really wanted something sweet afterwards, so I had a Dannon Honey Greek yogurt.

After I ate I got ready for my date. We went to the Oklahoma Thunder vs. Portland Trailblazers basketball game. (The Thunder lost by three… sad.) And after that had a quick dinner next door. It was really fun and much more relaxed than our other dates have been. I’m starting to think there may actually be something there…

I got home around 10 p.m., talked to my Mom for awhile, took a bath and hit they hay. I certainly have NOT had any trouble falling asleep lately. That is a huge perk of being so busy.

The morning has already been really productive, and I’m going to put on my cloak of positivity and kick butt this week!

What is your strategy for remaining positive even when you’re super stressed?

Wine isn’t crap

Posted on March 28, 2010 by lowandbhold

Man… that whole rest and relaxation thing did not exactly happen this weekend. Yesterday was every bit as busy as my weekdays were this week! But it’s okay. It’s good to be busy and have lots going on. Otherwise I’d be complaining about being bored.

My morning started bright and early for a Saturday. I got up around 7:30 to get ready for work. Breakfast was a yogurt bowl.

I had 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, a banana and tablespoon of almond butter. Yesterday was Day 1 of my Crap Free Week, and this meal was right in line with my goals for the week.

I took a Green Monster to sip on during my six hour shift at the part-time job.

Work was so great again yesterday. We weren’t officially open, but we let a local running club come in to pick up some race packets for a marathon they’re traveling to tomorrow. We got to talk with a lot of really seasoned runners, and help them through our gait analysis system. It was awesome!

Even more awesome was that I got to meet a fellow Oklahoma bloggista, Justine. She was the sweetest thing ever and she was adorable. I’m so happy she came by! I got to help her with the gait analysis and we talked about running shoes, green monsters, Whole Foods and a dozen other things. It was so fun.

After work was over I was starving, so I ran home and had a quick lunch.

Steamed sweet potato and cottage cheese topped with one whole egg and one egg white, oh and of course some Frank’s hot sauce. You can’t take away my condiments! Kind of random, but I had to throw something together quickly so I could get to the gym in time to get a run in. I wanted to run outside, but it was raining and the wind was blowing like crazy and I didn’t want to get sick all over again.

I hadn’t ran since my 8K two weeks ago, so I was worried it wasn’t going to go well. I just stuck to my training plan (instead of trying to make up missed runs), which called for me to walk 1 mile, run 3 miles and walk another mile. The running portion went extremely well! I didn’t feel like I’d lost any endurance at all, which was a huge relief. I’m supposed to do 6.5 miles tomorrow, which is daunting, but I think it’s going to go great!

After the gym I zipped by the grocery store because I needed to stock up for Crap Free Week. Look how veggie-ful my fridge is.

Feels so good to see all that freshness in there.

I was supposed to go home and see my Mom tonight, but she decided to come up to the city since I was so busy. My brother and SIL came over and we went to a nearby Mediterranean restaurant. I had a salad and some fresh hummus with pita. No pictures because their mood lighting was pretty much pitch dark with candles. I hate places like that. The food was really good though!

Then, even though I wanted to collapse in a heap, I let my brother and SIL talk me into going out for a glass of wine. They claimed that I’ve been too busy lately and needed to make time for them. I don’t consider wine to by crap by the way, so it’s allowed this week

I got to bed later than I would have liked and woke up freakishly early this morning. I can’t decide if I want to get up now and be productive. Or try to take a nap so I can have energy for the week to come. Decisions, decisions.

I hope your weekends have been going well so far. Enjoy the rest of it!

Usual Ramblings

Posted on March 26, 2010 by lowandbhold

Thank you guys so, so much for your response to my post this morning. You are all amazing! Each and every comment made my day. Seriously, you have no idea.

Since I waxed on all philosophical like this morning, I left out the usual ramblings that I usually cover. Like the fact that I ate this snack yesterday that will probably gross 50% of you out.

Yes, that’s cottage cheese and peanut butter. And yes, it was good. If you’re into that sort of thing. Which I am.

After that I left work and went on the date, which was short so it went fairly well In all honesty, this guy is kind of perfect on paper. He’s the type of guy I’ve never dated in the past, and the type of guy I probably should date. But I’m not sure if there’s any zsa zsa zu (Sex and the City anyone?). We’ll see though. We’re going to a basketball game on Sunday.

Work was awesome again. We got to test out the gait analysis center on each other, and I found out that I’ve been running in the wrong type of shoe. Good to know!

This morning I had a green monster, and later on I enjoyed an Asiago Cheese bagel.

Yummy. Lunch today was at a meeting. Subway, carrots and fruit.

Perhaps you see my beverage lurking in the background? Yes, that would be a Diet Coke.

It is because of this that I’ve decided to begin a Crap Free Week, effective tomorrow. I’m not going to be super strict about it but I’m not going to consume artificial sugar, canned or overly processed food and I’m going to really try to avoid added sugars. I need to get out of the habit of letting myself make these bad choices. Not that I’ve been eating terribly, but it definitely hasn’t been quite as healthy as I prefer to eat.

Oh, did you know that today was National Spinach Day? Of course I celebrated.

It was so pretty outside! I wish I could have spent more time out there. I get to tomorrow though. I drank that at the part-time job. A lot of product was out tonight. There’s already so much stuff I want. I’m going to have to control myself or else I’m not going to make any money, haha.

When I got home I had some leftover beet salad from my dinner date last night.

A beet, goat cheese and pistachio salad to be exact. Sounds delicious, right? My date, we’ll call him B, was absolutely grossed out that I ordered this, which I thought was hilarious. He’s pretty much a meet and potatoes kind of guy. Not a perfect match food wise… I made sure to point that out. Like fifty times.

The beet salad was absolutely delicious, but I was still hungry so I had Amy’s Tomato Bisque.

It was good to get it out of the pantry, since it’s not allowed during crap free week It’s seriously one of my favorite canned soups though!

Alright, I am about to head to bed. I get to sleep in until the ripe hour of 7:30, and if I got to bed by 11:30 that means I get a whole 8 hours of sleep. Yay!

Do you think it’s important to have similar food tastes as your significant other?

My heart is not in my paycheck

Posted on March 26, 2010 by lowandbhold

Good morning guys! We’ve made it to Friday! Although this week has flown by in the blink of an eye, it’s also been one of the busiest and most eventful few weeks I’ve had in a long time. I am looking forward to some serious me time this weekend.

I’m talking me, on the couch in my holey sweats drinking wine and watching TV with no regard for the outside world. Sometimes I just need that quietude, and I’m looking forward to it with a fervor. I don’t even know if wine will be involved since I don’t have any and I’m quite broke right now – but it’s a pleasant thought.

Anyways, I don’t really have a traditional food post for you this morning, but I do have an email from one of my dear real life friends/reader, Victoria, that I want to share.

I found it to be very uplifting, and I think you will too.

Good Morning Kacy Sue!

I’m sure you’ve had your green monster by now and are ready to take on the day. I was sitting here checking my e-mail and doing some surfing, when I had an epiphany. I don’t have a blog, so I figured this was better than nothing…

Thank you friend for being such an amazing an uplifting person. Because of you, I look forward to getting up every morning and seeing what new food you have created. Your blog updates are often the boost or laugh that I need on a hard day.

I am excited to see you excited about life and these newfound passions have discovered. Frankly, your enthusiasm for these passions has sparked my interest in blogging and reminded me of my own passion for food, cooking and baking.

I think I forgot who I was and what I enjoyed doing and began identifying myself with what I was doing at the time, rather that be a student or a fundraiser…

What a fascinating and exciting world blogging is, and it’s so fun to read about all the innovative things people are doing with food. But more importantly, how food has connected people and become a symbol of hope an dpeace. It brings tears to my eyes to read the recipes, because it makes me excited and I feel good knowing it is okay to be excited.

And to those who people who frown upon you for blogging, sharing your thoughts and finding a meaning to life… to those people in the “outside” world who just don’t “get it”, I feel sorry for them, for it’s their loss. It is our benefit as humans to dig deep and discover what it is that truly makes us happy. If we don’t, we will sadly live our lives in complacency and wake up one day wondering what it is we were donig all that time. To all the fellow bloggers, followers, etc… I applaud you for being and individual and holding your ground. I salute your savvy ways and dedication.

I feel fortunate to have found food blogs at this time because it shows me that food can be enjoyed, savored and loved for not only its physical ingredients and satisfaction, but because of what it represents to the individual – rather it be finding the high road or simply finding yourself.

How nice is that?! Of course I was thrilled to read these words from a true friend. Sometimes I forget how much having this blog means to me, but this reminded me of just how far I’ve come.

I will have been blogging for a year in May, and when I think back to how I was feeling about life at this exact time last year it’s startling. I remember feeling a complete lack of self-confidence. I remember feeling lost.

I’m not saying that blogging was the answer to all my problems, but I know that finally having something to “call my own” and an outlet for my thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams was immediately freeing. Blogging definitely gave me hope in a time when I had almost forgotten what hope was.

When Victoria wrote that we all have the “benefit” to dig deep and discover what it is that makes us truly happy, it was a light bulb moment. Sometimes I feel like I’m weird for being so into blogging, for traveling to another time zone to hang out with other people who blog, for taking pictures of my food and then talking about what I eat – for all of it.

But there is absolutely no reason for me to feel that way! When something makes you happy, there is never a reason to downplay it or feel silly about it. We only get one life, and whatever it is that makes that life more fulfilling and joyous should be celebrated! Why had I never thought of this before?

While I was at Fitbloggin, I was struck by how many people could relate to one thing I’ve always been a little ashamed of – how much more I cherish blogging than I do my “real” job. So many girls that I met felt the same way.

The world tells us that there are traditional roles and jobs that we should inhabit – journalist, doctor, lawyer, or whatever it is that we go to college to learn how to do. But what if those things don’t fulfill you and you’re just playing a part?

I definitely feel like I’m just going through the motions of adulthood with my day job. It’s a good job and I’m more or less appreciated for what I do, but it’s not where my heart is.

My heart is in blogging, in writing about things that make me happy – whether it be fitness, food, dating or Ellen Degeneres. My heart is in being the healthiest version of me that I can be. My heart is in my family and my friends.

My heart is not in my paycheck.

I can only hope that someday I can discover how to live in such a way that my heart is truly in every activity that I take on. Because life really is too short to not be fulfilled. Too short to just go through the motions.

I’m not sure I have the courage to get there quite yet. I’ve only just found my footing, but I know that I’ll get there someday. And until then, I have this blog, and every person that reads it, to keep me going.

Thank you so much Victoria, for making me see that more clearly.

Have a good Friday everyone!

Seductive little devils

Posted on March 25, 2010 by lowandbhold

Hello lads and lasses! My post is belated today since I posted so late last night. Also, because I’m flat out exhausted. My new job and Fitbloggin’ are two things I love, but they have both succeeded in wearing me out completely! I literally can’t wait to go to sleep tonight. It’s pretty much all I can think about. But there’s a lot standing between then and now!

Last night for second dinner, I had an amazing bowl of yoatgurt.

Hmmm, I was clearly as tired last night when I was picking out that photo as I am right now. ‘Tis blurry, but last night I could have sworn it was not. The oatmeal was mixed with some Justin’s Almond Butter and paired with Dannon 0% Vanilla Greek yogurt. Yum.

Breakfast was another green monster, bringing my consumption total to three in under 24 hours. I cant get enough.

Lunch was slightly embarrassing. I really can’t wait until I have time to cook again. I miss having leftovers for lunch. Instead, I had more canned soup.

And alongside that can ‘o sodium, I had a can ‘o sugar. I’ve been staring at a twelve pack of root beer in the work fridge all week, and I finally caved.

I definitely didn’t feel too hot after this lunch. Full? Yes. Satisfied? No. Preservatives are seductive little devils, but you always pay for them afterwards.

I’m trying to remedy the situation right now with an apple.

But there’s really no hope for me today. I have a post-job #1, pre-job #2 date at a little Italian joint right after work. Date #2 in fact. Kind of a big deal, since I don’t remember the last time I went on two dates with a guy willingly. I did go on two dates with a guy last year around this time, but it was entirely against my will. Have I mentioned how much I hate dating?

And after that… we’re having pizza at work. And hey, I’ve got to be social and eat some right?! Let’s not kid ourselves, I love pizza and I’m rather looking forward to eating it.

Seriously though. I’m really ready to return to a semi-normal way of life, which means working out four or more times per week and eating real, home-cooked food the majority of the time. I’m thinking that I’ll be able to get there by Saturday, but until then I guess I’m just going to make the best of it.
