• Personally speaking….

    While taking three classes this semester to finish my master's degree, my time to post is smaller than usual. I hope to post at least once a week though about things that matter to me -- a single young woman in Hampton Roads, VA.

Saturday foodstuffs

Yeah. Difficult day. Emotionally draining. I’m glad it’s over. I ate those little quarter sandwich things on a boat that I didn’t take pictures of but I did take pictures of the dinner I ate out. Yay? Oh and I am a huge fan of steel-cut oats! Cook up a bunch and store it for [...]

Friday Food Journal

I’m off work today. Thought I’d make a bunch of steel-cut oats for heating up later. This time, I stirred more so I didn’t have a layer of very browned bits stuck to the bottom. Stirring is our friend!
Also, while on the brain train, I came up with a way to outsmart my temperamental card [...]

Thursday’s food journal and toy

Didn’t realize it but I did the laptop lunch entry in a different format. Not sure which is better.
Food Lion is giving away one free reusable shopping bag with two purchases of Food Lion brand cereal. I usually buy their Toasted Oats, so that was win-win for me! Normally, the bags cost 89c. The Food [...]

Ye ol’ hump day food journal

Last night I suddenly got starving hungry around 11:30. “Well, Jessica, if you were in bed….” I know. So I had a Laughing Cow wedge since I’m fruitless. I’ll add that on to today.
My excuse is that I was so busy studying my computer science homework and taking a quiz — which I bombed unfortunately [...]

Eating through Tuesday

[HAHA! I was so distracted by the laptop lunch that I forgot to 'publish' this.]
Class went late Monday which threw me off. I was late to work. I hate that. Well, I wasn’t late because I was in by the implied cut-off time but I am trying to hit closer to 8 a.m. than 9 [...]

Just another manic Monday

Another day in the journaling of foodstuffs with pictures. Greek yogurt for the first time today. One of the stress makers at school is turned in so hopefully more time for planning…. [...]

Just another Sunday in the fridge….

Guess who has more local honey? Oh and food was eaten and some food pictures were taken. [...]

Steel-cut Saturday

Today, since I had all morning and wanted to procrastinate my studying, I tried some steel-cut oats. Boy, did that take forever to cook! And the bottom of the pan was scrubtastic. Worth it? Not sure. I have half of the pan leftover in the fridge.

Breakfast – 10ish

Steel-cut oatmeal, 1 cup: 4
Interesting. WW.com says oatmeal [...]

Friday: Soft taco, spicy cauliflower and sly fruit salad

Got some exercise today in the form of Meals on Wheels. Jumping in and out of the car and running around during the heat of mid-day has to count for something!
Brought my lunch. Yay! Accomplished that part of June’s goal. Next week, let’s get the other part done! Didn’t do my water well at all. [...]

Thursday

I am stressed. Like so stressed that my shoulders have been in pain since this morning. You’ve been there, I know. I won’t list the laundry list of things that got me here. Though, I guess, it boils down to just one thing—me. Journaled my food. [...]
