It was sweltering in NYC today!! The entire east coast is being hit with a heat wave, but the city just seems to absorb heat. It almost makes me happy that summer is ending…almost J
This morning, I hit the gym for a strength workout + 3 miles of cross training. My training plan called for a 3 mile run, but I’ve decided to sub it for cross training. Four days of running is enough for my knee!
For lunch, I met my friend Jillian for lunch at Cosi, our favorite place! I got my usual hummus and veggie sandwich with a side of baby carrots.
Afterwards, I headed to the Upper West Side for a blogger meet up Lynn organized at The Lite Choice. Ada, Caronae, Maggie and a few readers were there as well!
I selected a cup of the “After Eight” flavor, topped with chopped After Eight mints. So refreshing on such a hot day!
We strolled around Central Park for a bit before seeking refuge from the heat in Aroma.
I ordered a mango iced tea. Each drink comes with a little piece of chocolate- my kind of place!
Whenever I go on blogger meetups, I immediately feel so comfortable. As a college student, my healthy ways definitely put me in the minority, and I often feel strange discussing my passion for health. Bloggers are definitely a group of kindred spirits!
By the time I got home, I was one sweaty, hungry mess! Dinner was quite random as a result…
Ezekiel tortilla slathered in hummus and topped with lettuce + tomato.
Always save the best for last!
Yet another shot glass of frozen Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter. It’s an addiction.
Several more spoonfuls of Barney Butter followed. I’ve been even more of a nut butter addict than usual lately! I also had an apple:
Plus four squares of Vosges Black Pearl dark chocolate. I ate a lot of chocolate today J
This evening, I hit up the college bookstore and dropped $178 on five French novels. Teensy-tiny ones. Thanks, NYU. On a better note, I also stopped in Forever 21 and found an adorable stretchy black skirt for eight bucks. That’s more like it!
Off to bed! Gracie is coming to visit me tomorrow and I can’t wait!
What’s your latest addiction?
Found any good bargains recently?

LOVE the hummus and veggie at cosi! There's one right on my campus so i frequent there :)
I'm addicted to oatbran!
Oh! And I found PB and Co. peanut butters for 2 for $7 and a Justin's for 4.99, I was one happy gal! :)
I fully support all that chocolate. I've been on a chocolate craze lately. I NEED to try the frozen shot glass nut butter, that's genius.
Gotta love textbook costs eh? Completely nuts. I have to go get mine asap..yikes. I always bust my butt searching for used ones first though!
I'm a huge bargain junkie, though I haven't found anything good lately. Though that might be because I haven't done much shopping lately... gotta save up the cash. Though I DID go to a store called Bargain Bargain Bargain tonight :) Their bargains weren't very impressive though haha
That's very cool how you feel comfortable at blogger meet ups. I would think that it would be awkward cause I'm so much younger than a lot of other health bloggers.
Chocolate like that everyday is so worth it, hope you enjoyed every bite!
I never had to pay for my books in college, we rented them!
just tried the nut butter in a shot glass... i think im addicted!
The chocolate and peanut butter in this post is making me hungry.
I haven't tried the shot glass yet, but I am sure I will be addicted as soon as I try it!
I am also a college student and know exactly how you feel about being in the minority. My roommates think the way I eat is crazy! I feel awkward making green monsters in front of them :/.
I am still in love with the nut butter in a shot glass!
My new addiction is split pea soup. And that's a bargain, too. Dried split peas are soooo cheap, you can whip up an awesome soup, and then enjoy leftovers. I've made it twice in the last couple weeks and I'm making more tomorrow!
Oh how I loooove Forever21!!!! My favorite store, by far.
Frozen Justin's?! Umm... not even gonna lie, I may or may not have drooled over that..
Love ya!
what kind of health topics do you guys discuss about? Just curious! :-)
My latest addiction:cashew nut clusters from Mrs May. So good!
Awh I'm so jealous you get to do so many blogger meet ups - it must be amazing! And I adore how you ate your dinner (ie leaving the hummus til last) - that's exactly what I do with my meals!!
Latest addiction = blackberries and hummus :D
It was so nice to see you yesterday! Good luck getting ready for school and hopefully I will see you Sunday as well!
Man oh man.. there is not a thing wrong with two hummus sammies in one day. I like the way you think!!
My addiction is hummus and TJ's almond butter w/ flax. I have them at LEAST once a day. I can't seem to break my habit!!
At least Trader Joe's is a pretty good bargain. Otherwise I'd be broke ;)
Ooh, I've had that black pearl bar before-- so good!
Have a fun weekend!
My addiction is Barney Butter, I prefer the crunchy - yum!!
oh wow-- what beautiful indigence! im loving mozzarella cheese this week. That and coffee in my smoothies :)
i had tlc yesterday tooooooo :) UES location though. don't ever go to the one on 71st and 1st. the girl is a straight bitch hahaha
um MEETUP ASAP! thursdays for dinner or whatever are usually best because i'm over on teh west side at john jay college for a class until 6:30 :) so i'm always looking for a dinner date after to avoid traffic hahaha or really just to hang with awesome bloggers.
btw i know EXACTLY what post you're talking about and i wanted to go nuts to the wall ;)
Yum, I just had the After Eight Mint on Wednesday night! I could eat TLC all day and all night. I'd say that is my latest addiction but that never really changes!
Cosi! I haven't been there in the longest time! I really like the bread they use for their sandwiches. My latest addiction (although this is an ongoing thing) is chocolate! I'm eating in all the time lately, haha. But nothing wrong with that. I got a great bargain at the grocery store the other day, my favorite cereal (Quaker Oatmeal Squares) was on sale for $1.99 a box, usually it's like $3.50 plus. I got four boxes! Gotta stock up :)
All the hummus in this post is making me...well, hungry for hummus! I don;t have any right now and am waiting until I move in and get my fridge this weekend.
I'm with Missy on being a TLC addict...
Sometimes I feel like my health lifestyle puts me in the minority of college students too! Glad I have friends like you who understand! :)
A day full of chocolate is the best kind of day!
I'm leaving soon eeeeee :D
Is The Lite Choice the same as Tasty Delight? Does Tasty-D even exist anymore? I used to get that all the time!
hey you can't ever have too much chocolate ;]
latest addiction? frozen cantaloupe! it's SO GOOOOOOD! and this Archer Farms cereal I picked up at Target the other day. Cinnamon Start with Protein. Check it out, it's pretty delicious!
ohh after 8 sounds goooood!
OMG obsessed with Aroma! it acutally started in Israel and its one of my all time favorite cafe's there and then I heard they have them in NYC and FLIPPED OUT! the food is not AS good as it is in Israel but its still damn good!!
i wish we had a LiteChoice nearby! if i ever travel out that way i would be more than happy to check it out!
btw i love ur profile pic on the side, i didnt realize how much longer ur hair is than i thoght. gorgeous and straight too :)
XOXO
it was lovely to meet you, gabriela!!! your pix are gorgeous!
I'm addicted to instant pudding and Jerseylicious marathons. kind of ridiculous, I know, but being back in school has made me lazy and brain dead.
you are making me seriously crazy fro yo right now. I just wish the lite choice was in Pittsburgh!
I LOVE Forever 21 for a good bargain! We just got the store in my city this year and I've become addicted to it!
My latest addictions are the Chobani and Oikos Green yogurts I bought! It's a bummer that it's such a long drive to the store that carries them. :P
