PLENTY of room at the inn

I am so sorry for any confusion.  I am NOT pregnant.  I simply included a photo of my ultrasound because I thought it was funny.  And if I'm blogging about my health, then I'm sharing everything.  She is as cavernous and vacant as ever.  I wish to thank my PA friend for pointing out that the photo could be misleading.

Rocking on and on.

Must go make my spinach, beet, and berry smoothie.  I even bought some frozen organic peaches yesterday.  Yum.

AMPPW

This morning's post pee weight was 126.5.  I am (-1.5) since last week's weigh-in.  My food log will follow. 

Note to self, work on background for next week's photo.  

If you've been reading, then you've heard me mention my Home Brew.  In case you were wondering, this is how I make iced tea in my apartment.  While I often blend different leaves, you're looking at Guayaki Yerba Mate and ginger.

Cheese! Less!

I might have blinked while this photo was being taken.  But you can understand why, considering the circumstances, yes?

My visit to my new gynecologist was followed by dinner with my best friend from college, who is in town on business.  We went to Loving Hut, 348 7th Avenue, between 29th and 30th.  We're talking about mind-blowing vegan food here.  And it's so delightful to look and a menu and just order, without having to ask an eye rolling server a thousand questions . . . or the same question a thousand times.  We shared three dishes: 

• Primavera Mac, broccoli, sundried tomatoes, peas, corn, cauliflower
• Crispy Vegan Burger, tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, guacamole, romaine lettuce, oatmeal/vegetable patty with to-mayo sauce
• Mushroom Quesadilla, mushrooms, peas, corn, daiya cheese, chile pasilla sauce.

It was all so good, that of course, we had to follow up with dessert.  I let my visiting fellow(a) UB alum choose.  She went with the vegan red velvet cake, which was the best I ever had.  When asked the server told us that they bring it in from Vegan Treats, which is located in Bethlehem, PA.  How much do I love their web site?  Even though their desserts are available all over the City, I may have to take a road trip just to check them out.  Yea, THAT good.

I JUST found this quote . . .

Sometimes the best way to figure out who you are is to get to that place where you don't have to be anything else.

Well now . . . let's see what my new gynecologist has to say for herself.

*****

• Macy's
• Home sale
• All of their Ninjas are on sale
• Tempted, tempted, tempted
• I will always love my Magic Bullet, but just like that house in Massapequa, I've completely outgrown it.  Both are very good things.

Trying To Keep It Positive

• I don't want to be negative at all through this process . . . I'm aware of the fact that I just made a double negative statement
• While I am off from JOB A until February 18, I have been working like a beast at JOB B
• As a result, I have not trained in weeks, and I have not worked out since last week
• On the flip side, I have been eating really well.  This plant strong living has become primary nature
• My next 5K is this Saturday.  My last effort was my best time on New Years Day, but I'm afraid I'm going to kick my own ass this weekend.  Perhaps it is the ass kicking I need.

NYC Runs, however, Karen power walks

• Yesterday
• Neighborhood gem
• Energy Fuel (http://www.energyfuelny.com)
• One of the most incredible plates of food I've ever had
• Brown rice, avocado, sautéed spinach, with tahini dressing.  They threw in a whole wheat pita.
