Mexicano Cravings

Well I'm almost caught up on my posts. The internet at the house has been very spotty for the last week or so and I haven't been able to upload any of my pictures to Blogger or Flickr to complete any of my blog posts. Last night after lab I finally had enough after waiting 30 minutes for my pictures to only half upload and decided to look into getting the 3g hotspot service for my Droid Incredible. The hotspot is a new feature offered since the new 2.2 system update but of course additional charges apply. (you are killing me Verizon) Since I don't actually pay for internet at the house I decided to spend the $20/month and check it out for awhile to see if I like it. Plus I'll be able to have internet service on my labtop wherever I go now. So far so good. It's not quite as fast as I would have hoped but it gets the job done. I'm still not completely sold but we'll see how it goes.

I was feeling the pumpkin fever for breakfast yesterday. I made 2 batches of rolled oats on Tuesday morning and had the second serving yesterday. I've decided not to blog about my Tuesdays due to my very LONG day of work and then class until 10:30PM. By the time that I drive the 30 minutes home, get settled, and catch up with the bf I just don't have time to upload the photos (which are usually some time of leftovers) and write a detailed blog.


Oat Mix:

1/2 cup rolled oats (pre-cooked and warmed in the microwave at the office)
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 Wegmans whole wheat pumpkin muffin
1 Tbs Pumpkin Butter (info to come)

I had a banana to try to fight off the crazy cravings in my head (not my tummy) after a conversation with work peeps about a local restaurant. I wasn't even hungry after the pumpkin gloriness from the morning but I was hoping that it would help.



No such luck. By lunchtime I was sick of fighting the urges and by that time I really was hungry and didn't pack lunch so I took a trip across the street and came back with this...

Can anybody guess where this is from?






Probably not the healthiest choice for lunch but with lab in the evening and the strict no food policy in the lab I was able to justify a big lunch to myself and I haven't had Chipotle in over a month. It was worth every bite. Nutrition Facts from Chipotle Nutriton Calculator. Holy Sodium!



I wasn't very hungry after my lunch so I decided to stop at Starbucks


Grande soy, no whip, pumkin spice latte



It was gone before I pulled in the parking lot on campus. mmmmmm so good.

Happy Thursday! Tonight I have the trainer after work and then I'm headed to support some friends for the Susan G. Komen  3 day walk for the cure at Boozin for Boobs at Riptide by the Bay in Fells Point. Stop by and show your support if you are in the area!

  2. Cheers to another Chipotle Fan! Best fast food mexican hands down! I haven't had a pumpkin spice latte YET, gotta try one soon now that I know about all of the substitutions you can make to lessen the sugar a bit.

  4. You can make those pictures fit the blog easily. When writing in html mode, look for the part of the code that says width="xxx" and make sure the number in quotes is 500 or less.

    The text part of most blogs is 500 pixels wide, so any photos less than that will fit. Also make sure to change the height to keep the ratios relatively the same. You can hit "preview" and see how it looks with different numbers. It's really very simple. I do it every day.
