A day in the life of Mae

I?m so glad you all want some vinegar! You still have time to enter, so just leave a comment or ping back!

So today, we?re going to discuss what I eat in a day because I know this topic is HOT right now! (I wish there was a way to write sarcastically? if you didn?t catch that, it was sarcasm.)

I usually begin the day with five minutes of stretching before I get up. It really helps my ankle, which has been doing amazing since I began prolotherapy. Anyway, after stretching I hop in the shower for 6 minutes because I?m super shower-efficient? heh.

Breakfast:

I have a crazy obsession with green chocolate smoothies in the morning. I think I burnt myself out on the oatmeal, but these are amazing too!

This one contained:

4 cubes of ice
1/2 a large frozen banana
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 small sweet potato
1 heaping tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp Amazing Grass, chocolate infusion
1 tsp nutritional yeast
2 big handfuls of spinach

Toppings:

A few tbsp of Udi?s granola
Anna Mae?s Cherry Jam
Tahini
A few coffee beans

After I?ve eaten most of the smoothie and all of the toppings, I definitely add more granola and tahini. I can?t tell a lie.

On the weekends I enjoy a cup of coffee with my parents, but on weekdays I usually have a cup of yerba mate with breakfast.

And a handful of granola for the road:

My friend and I (Hi Sasha!!) did some intense yoga (heh, like 35 minutes of ?moderate? level) then split to shower.

We met back up and walked around Saratoga forever.

Yup, they?re coming in style.

?Twas a fun time!

I love it here! I have to get the photography out of my system before tourist season.

 

Lunch:

 

Lunch is usually an egg, some bread and veggies. Today was sautéed local spinach, tomatoes, humnut cheese, and sunflower seed whole wheat bread from West Village Market at the Saratoga Farmers? market. 

Guess who laid my eggs.

 

Thanks Lynn, Chrissy, Lexi & Ashley! Brookside Farm eggs from my Farmers? Market are amazing. They?re so rich and delicious. My little cousin gets such a kick out of these little notes.

Lunch is followed by large amounts of fruit: today was an orange and an apple the size of my head from Saratoga Apple (at the Farmers? Market)

  

I?m also obsessed with these gummy swirl vitamins! Seriously, best thing ever. You have to try them! So I?m 2 years old? I get over it.

I usually pop two of those but I could easily eat 10. I?m not saying I do, but I could.

 

 

Snack:

 

For snack I had a grapefruit and a few more pieces of sunflower bread toast. That stuff is amazing and I?m a bread-aholic. Seriously!

Dinner:

  

I usually make dinner, but this particular night I had a lovely dinner guest so we dined on sushi from our local supermarket. I know, it?s so gourmet.

This was a brown rice seaweed salad roll, and on the side I had a giant local baby spinach salad with smoked salmon (about 1.5 oz, half of a packet) sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and a little sriracha.

She?s a keeper. That?s actually my amazing cousin, Kayla. She speaks Chinese!

 

Dessert:

Of course! I couldn?t end my night without a cup of tea and a hunk of dark chocolate.

I usually have an ounce of unsweetened Baker?s Chocolate, endorsed by Heather! Baker?s is surprisingly delicious and holds it?s own against expensive brands of unsweetened chocolate.

Oh, and another dose of dessert:

Batmannnnn!! I?ve professed my love for Batman before, and we?re still going strong. I force everyone in my life to watch ?The Dark Knight? with me approximately twice each day. I can quote the entire movie. And I do it in French, too!

 

"Tu est dechete qui mort pour l’argent"

 

?Vous me chasserez. Vous me condamnerez, régler les chiens sur moi. Parce que cela est ce qu’a besoin d’arriver. Parce que quelquefois… la vérité n’est pas assez bonne. Quelquefois les gens plus méritent. Quelquefois les gens méritent pour avoir leur foi récompensée.?

 

?Qu’essayiez-vous de prouver ? Qui au fond du coeur, tout le monde aussi laid que vous ? Vous êtes seul?

 

I feel the need to often tweet these phrases or hartext my friends with them. (It?s a combination of harass and text) Sometimes I even leave random French Dark Knight voice mails. I find it normal.

So that?s my day in a nutshell. I live a pretty interesting life, haha.

In other news, I?m traveling to Cornell to visit Wednesday and Thursday. Any Ithaca or Cornell-ians who want to meet up for lunch? I know it?s last minute! I?m very excited.

But to be clear I really have no idea what school I?m going to school. No clue. It?s because I like to keep everyone on edge. Maybe.
