If I told you I’ve been blasting the new Britney Spears song on repeat for most of the day? You probably should. It’s not exactly brilliant in the lyrics department. It’s catchy, but overly repetitive. At least it inspired me to make a new running mix…which inspired me to go on a run…which made me feel like a million bucks for the entire day. Chain reaction a la B. Spears. This morning started with a late wake up. Unlike yesterday’s garbage truck fiasco, this was the perfect way to enjoy my morning off. Then I… Read more >

I still have 7 more butternut squashes to use… But my skin is looking eerily similar to Snooki’s so I think a pause on the butternut intake is probably best. Not straying too far…I filled my butternut void with acorn squash. Nutritionally speaking, they are similar pretty much the same. Both are excellent sources of manganese, potassium, calcium, vitamin A (in the form of B-carotene) and vitamin C. And they are packed with fiber. In other words, my orange glow will soon be upgraded to oompa-loompa status. If you are wondering about what else B-carotene… Read more >

How many photos do you take of the same dish before feeling like you adequately captured the meal’s deliciousness? Sometimes I feel like a nut job circling the table taking a million and one pictures of the exact. same. thing. Dancing around doing laps like a hawk stalking it’s prey. Until I finally feel satisfied that I got the perfect picture of breakfast. Who would have thought the lighting of effing oatmeal would ever be so important to me. I hope I’m not the only one… Anyways, clearly this morning’s breakfast was oatmeal. Nothing new… Read more >

They say evidence is damning. And I have to agree. My camera has been revealing some of these truths. Here’s proof… …that I should always cook oats on the stove or eat them raw …that working three shifts in a row can cause you to add extra zeros (at least it was the microwave – which has far less disastrous consequences than a patient’s meds!) …that everything is salvageable (just add nut butter) …that I will never get bored of apples …that you can make quinoa “ghetto” …that my patients are turning me into a… Read more >

A few days ago Kailey posted about her idea of balance and then she encouraged others to share their own version. To me, balance is not getting stressed out about making things even and constant. It’s just not realistic pour moi. Because I work such long hours, but then have full days off in between, I know that each day will be new and different than the last. I work weekends, night shifts, day shifts, holidays, whatever. And I’m never sure of how my day will go either. Will my patient load be easy and… Read more >
