I was so excited to see a big package of Amazing Grass on my doorstep last night: I'm not going to lie -- the best part about blogging is getting to test out products.  But, the Amazing Grass line is something I would actually buy myself. Why am I so crazy about this product?  Well, [...]

Another crazy work day in the world of Caitlin!   Mid-afternoon snacks included a crushed TLC bar and yogurt. Plus grapes: And for dinner, I ate a Pro Bar... yes, a bar as a meal. I ate this around 6:30 while working.  It held me over for about 2.5 hours, so not as much as [...]

I don't know if it's the weather (it's raining) or my hormones or the fact that it's Moan-day, but I've had this uncontrollable urge to eat, eat, eat all morning.   I used to really freak out when my body 'betrayed me' like this.  I'd think that I wasn't suppose to be hungry, and I [...]

I feel surprisingly decent for a girl who connected with the concrete on her bike ride last night.  My pelvis feels much better than I expected to -- sudden twisting movements or lunges kill me (good thing I'm not running right now!) but I can walk (yay!).    Plus -- NO KNEE PAIN.  None!  I [...]

I was so excited to try out my new Aerotech Designs Bike Shorts on my long ride today! According to the Aerotech website, the Top Shelf Pro Bike Short is "an eight-panel, anatomically designed bicycle short that hugs the muscles for support and reduction of muscle fatigue.  The short prevents chafing by eliminating seams between [...]

Hello!  Around 10 AM, I started to prepare for my 30-mile bike ride by eating some fuel.  I had a whole wheat English muffin + PB. Then, I got completely dressed (helmet on and everything), but when I went to pump my tires, I realized my pump was broken! :(   I asked the Husband [...]

Embarrassing story:  I woke up and stumbled blindly into the hallway.  On the way to the living room, I slipped my arms out of my PJ top so it was around my waist and started to put my bra on -- that's when I realized  my little brother-in-law was sleeping on the couch! AHHHH!! I'm [...]

Angels and Demons was SOOOOO good! It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.  Definitely go watch it!   Beyond my movie review, I don't have much to report on the food front... but I do have a kind of fun announcement at the end!  But first....   Cereal and Chobani [...]

Lunch was eaten on the fly at work.   I added 1/2 cup of chick peas to the taboule rice I created yesterday. Mmm!  Plus, a bag of grapes: And I snacked on this Pro Bar throughout the morning and it was SO good!     Pro Bar are intended as a "meal replacement", so here's [...]

Morning, lovelies.  Last night, I had really strange nightmares.   I had graphic dreams about being chased by a creeper and having to stab him over and over again in self-defense!  He just wouldn't die, either! And I called 911, but no one came. (But I saved Maggie and James).   I pride myself on my [...]

**Sorry for the error in Google Reader**   I worked until 7 PM... it was no fun!  I did take a break around 3 PM to take a 30-minute nap. :)  When I woke up, I had a bowl of Chobani + cereal. Plus a few handfuls out of the cereal bag -- it totally [...]

I just ate the most wonderful lunch! Since making the decision to go vegetarian, I'm been trying to branch out on non-meat protein options.  I've seen tempeh in the blog world before, so when I spotted it at the store this morning, I knew I had to try it! This brand of tempeh contains cultured [...]

Good morning!   Today is my official "off" day from my full time job; unfortunately, I did not meet a deadline yesterday, so I will be working today.  The only thing that sucks more than working is working for free (I'm hourly).  Sigh!   I woke up to a lovely Cashew Pancake breakfast, which made [...]
