Liquid Motivation

Man, have I been drowning when it comes to finishing my article. If you don't recall, I am a huge Starbucks Junky who has a research article problem! ; )

Well, seriously...I am currently researching nutrition labeling laws and the implementation of nutrition programs in non-chain restaurants [as I have previously mentioned] and need SOMETHING to motivate me to write!! So, my professor and I have made a personal deadline for final edits before submitting to a journal, set for May 1st! Hello, that came fast!

Do you ever find that getting out of your house or office and finding a "remote location" gives you more motivation to work?

Well, my thought was get up, go to Starbucks and what better motivation than liquid motivation; consisting of a Grande Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte? um, sinless, tasteful treat in a cup : )


The Skinny: 16 fl oz sticks you with only 130 calories, 0 gm fat, 12 gm protein and a generous 40% helping of calcium...hiiiyo!
It even held me over for lunch so I could wait until I got home. Double whammy!
My banana and Kashi TLC bar will hang in the bag for another working day.


So I fulfill my Starbucks needs and get underway on my article while watching my waist line and well, only hurting my wallet ; )

100th for SS

It's about that time...Smart Snacker is posting the 100th post today! What a long way we've come... :)

What a better way to mark the 100th with a road trip! Yes ladies and gentlemen, your Smart Snacker just trekked about 5 hours Northbound on route 95. My ARAMARK gig in Nothern VA has got me traveling this week for my site visit. I do a site visit every 3-4 months to ensure proper recipe and portion adherence protocol are being followed in the facility thus ensuring my nutrition information I provide is accurate! So....since I was traveling I had to be snacking...right?
