Happy day! Lookit, lookit! Lookit who’s back!
You were expecting someone else? 😉
Squeeee! And not only that, but he brought friends!
Mmmmm. Yep, I’d have to say that all is good in the world again, so let’s jump right into what everyone looks forward to every Wednesday (or every day?) – the food!
We’re back to focusing on healthy habits this month, but I’ve always been one to march to the beat of my own drum, so instead of talking about healthy habits (as I sit here eating pizza and coffee… oops), I’m going to talk about quirky habits. I’m pretty particular when it comes to how I eat and I thought it would be fun to share some of my quirks with you. Let’s start with breakfast…
Plain Greek yogurt – banana – applesauce – Kashi Cinnamon Harvest – roasted almond butter
I probably eat 99.28% of my breakfasts from that one bowl. Why? Because wanting to see the cute picture that’s at the bottom of the bowl makes me more likely to finish every bite…
Okay, so that’s not even close to being true. The real reason is because it’s the perfect shape. Not too big. Not too deep. Nice and open. It just works. Goldilocks had her porridge, chairs, and beds, I have my bowl. Oh, and spoon…
I like them small (said no girl, ever… sorry… I couldn’t resist). It’s not that I can’t use other bowls and spoons, or that I go out of my way to make sure that I have these specific ones on hand, but they’re the ones that I reach for, all other things being equal. And while we’re on the topic of spoons, that’s what I like to use when it comes to smoothies…
1 cup milk, ¼ Greek yogurt, 1 frozen banana, 1 Tbsp. AB, ½ Tbsp. chia seeds
No straws for this girl. If a smoothie isn’t thick enough to eat with a spoon then… then what? Then I throw more things in the cauldron blender until it is. Straws are good for water, though….
For whatever reason, I have a way easier time drinking water through a straw than straight from the glass. Whatever works, right? I also have a way easier time eating lunch…
… when I tear it into pieces rather than biting straight into it….
Okay, easier might be the wrong word… I just like it better that way. I also like eating the veggies first and saving the better part for last. Oh, and I don’t really like putting a lot of effort into dinner…
… although that’s probably something I should look into changing – my cappuccino and pizza consumption is getting a bit out of hand, as is my breakfast-type-food consumption…
Which reminds me… I really need to go out and buy some more yogurt. I’m currently down to 2 tubs and heaven forbid that another blizzard hits, because then I’d really be screwed – I might have to start eating normal people food, and that would be really unfortunate 😯 Happy Wednesday, friends!

Ah i love this post, ’cause i love quirks and i recognise it’s pretty brave of you to share them! I love tearing up my food eating it bitesize chunk by bitesize chunk and over here in the UK, dessert spoons, (the little ones!) are standard procedure for most meals.
hmm except soup…
Lovin the new you that’s returned from your mini break, you’re tackling real issues and really examining what it is to be a blogger in 2012. Get you, you postmodern maven xxx
Hey, how are you doing with the “exercise” thing? I was reading “A Running Tale ” and she’s taken off 4 months and still going (she is off exercise, except for a couple walks and a scatter yoga class I think). Maybe I can brave it too….not that I really exercise now (at all), but I “feel” like I should 🙁
I’m having problems with nightly binging. I’m not overweight, but I do store everything in my belly 🙁 if I keep this up I’m headed for major health problems. I really really wish I hadd your comfort with food. I really wish I could eat cereal for dinner and be okay. The funny thing is that I “know’ it’s okay, I REALLy do, but I can’t seem to do it . It’s all the stupid focus. If I could stop thinking about it (think think think) then I wouldnt give myself the chance to think its bad 🙁 Stupid brain.
I’m still not doing any formal exercise. All I do is go for a pretty easy walk 5 or 6 times a week, and it’s honestly working really well for me. I know it can be hard to get used to not working out intensely, especially when everyone else seems to be, but being mildly active is enough – you don’t have to kill yourself in the gym to be healthy.
