My Mantra

And I mean that! Five days w/out blogging has NOT been fun! This week has been THE week from you know where. And when I get home (after 8:00pm and having been in the office since 7:30am) I am just zapped. I have had two horrible nights sleep thinking about what I’m doing with my life and worrying about all the details of work, wedding, family, etc. I am hoping tonight is better! But enough about me, how’ve you guys been? And moreover, let’s get the highlights! Saturday morning I went with my friend Sara to her gym in Bethesda. It looked like a cruise ship. I am not kidding. Machine after machine after machine. And KIDS were working out! Not teenagers – CHILDREN! Insane! And I can’t even talk about the ladies locker room ethics. It was like I was in a nudist colony! Ewww, have some modesty! Do the exhibitionist women    [...]

Long time no blog! I am so sorry there has been nothing new to read from the Daily Moderation blog the past few days! This week was HORRIBLE. Wednesday I ran around all day setting up for a work meeting and then hosting a cocktail party – Thursday I walked into work and quickly received a barrage of phone calls – all needing to be tended to and it didn’t stop all day – yesterday I began my day with an 8:30 meeting, a 10:00 meeting and finishing up work before I left at noon to have a meeting in Mt. Vernon. Then I bought a veil, went to the gym and had dinner with some girlfriends Phew! Can it be calm now? Please! Anyway, I won’t bore you with my eats of this week because when it’s so busy I have little motivation to cook and make anything exciting. It was a lot of quesadillas on Flat Out Wraps, English Muffins with PB,    [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, I had the unfortunate task of coming into work on President’s Day. My fiancé, however, did not. So, I did what any task-obsessed girl would do – I gave him a list of “to do’s.” Here is what I emailed him: Milk Deli Meat (or whatever you would like on your sandwiches) Lime Bananas/Apples/Oranges – whatever is cheapest Flat Out Wraps – in the bread section next to the hummus. Get the LIGHT ones GREEN salsa Crackers/chips for you Cookies for you Edamame Black Beans Light Coconut Milk Chicken Tenderloins Fish Sauce (in the Asian aisle) Sricacha (hot chile sauce in Asian aisle) Avocado Puffins – Peanut Butter Cilantro Shredded cheese Club soda I think that’s it! Also, can you please drop off the dry cleaning? Thanks, love ya! Once I arrived home he told me I’d given him one of the    [...]

Good Morning Bloggies! Sorry my weekend posts are always lacking – I just really like to enjoy my few moments off, and try to steer clear of all things electronic Friday afternoon I got a tasty Turkey Pita with Avocado, Tomato and Sprouts with a side of Baked Lays. This completely filled me up for the rest of the day! Because I ate at my desk, I went to the gym around 3:00 and ran for 30 minutes and did some strength training. The rest of the afternoon was met with a variety of office fire drills so I needed a glass of vino after work. My coworker Meaghan and I went to Vapiano – one of those places where you get a card when you walk in and they swipe it as they pour. No pictures, but it was much needed. I then hopped in a cab to head to the dive bar, The Dancing Crab to meet the fiance and friends. It was fun to catch up and just    [...]

Like I mentioned yesterday, my whole week was off, but when I got to the gym, Bill’s class was not going on. Another woman was teaching it – and from what I observed – pretty badly. So, in lieu of my planned workout I ran for 30 minutes, did 15 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the stairmill. I was POURING sweat! But, let’s go back to lunch. It was a repeat of the day before – Flat Out Wrap with Avocado and a Boca Patty, Strawberries and Yogurt. I had an orange mid-afternoon. Some edamame when I got home from the gym. Picture 063And a slice of Amy’s Spinach Pizza. I love the crust of this brand of pizzas. Just the perfect consistency! This morning started out boring. I can’t even talk about it. necco-conversation-heartsYou know what’s not boring though? Valentine’s Day. It’s just two days away! It’s    [...]

Does anyone else feel like this is the longest week EVER? I do. I was convinced last night at the movie’s that it was Wednesday. But then I got home and the Real Housewives of Orange County was on, and I was snapped back to reality that it was, in fact, Tuesday. Grrrrr….. Yesterday I went to the gym at lunch in anticipation of dinner/movie night with my coworkers. I ran for 30 minutes and then did some ab work. When I came back to my desk I dined on this Flat Out Wrap with some Avocado and a Boca Chik’n Patty. On the side I had some strawberries and a Yoplait Yogurt. We headed to Georgetown on the dot of 5:30. We stopped next to the theater at Mate – a very loungy type of restaurant. According to their website: Mate is decadent, lush and entirely unexpected in historic Georgetown. All red décor, very luxe Panton spiral lamps,    [...]
