I’ll recap the weekend’s lost time later, I just wanted to update everyone on how my “morning” went. I use quotations because even the earliest MD appointments seem to go on forever and ever… Last month when I started my FODMAPS journey, I got referred to an allergist. Yes, I already know I have sensitivities to certain foods, but I never really suspected true allergies were an issue. Wouldn’t I have had more drastic symptoms (ie an anaphylactic response) by now? [Yes] Anyway. In the name of due diligence (for my FODMAPS research), I went… Read more >

I leave for work and it’s pitch black outside…12 hours later I leave the hospital and it’s again darkness. I can’t really complain since I spent Friday on the beach with Kyle (summer sun in October, what whaaaat). But I worked this weekend and tried to take a photo out the kitchen window before I left…just to show the lack of light. Didn’t really work. :( It’s so dark out, all you can see is my reflection. My breakfast is far more photogenic. Quinoa on quinoa? Why not! I added Sweet Almond & Quinoa… Read more >

Are you completely confused by the title? Let’s start from the beginning. Kyle and I celebrated us both having a free day off this week (we also kinda made it my faux birthday since Kyle will be in Vegas for the real deal). I made vegan and GF pancakes for me (above), and grits with a fried egg on top for Kyle (below). I added some of Follow Your Heart’s vegan sour cream to it at the end, which offers a tangy, creamy kick. After breakfast (and coffee) I went for a run. … Read more >

Just popping in to let you all know that this week’s galactans challenge is still in full effect. Each day I’ve been testing my digestive system’s limits with a different member of the category – including peas, beans, lentils…and hummus. Oh glorious hummus. [For a list of the others galactan foods check here] I somehow managed to delete the final product of this banana, oat, pumpkin combo. So, yeah. This is all I’ve got. Work eats: salad, Halo s’mores ProBar , Enjoy Life chewy cocoa loco bar. This salad was just your average… Read more >

On my unit we have break relief nurses who come in from 11:45 to 5:15 and cover nurses (two at a time) for their hour long lunch breaks. We sign up for time slots at the beginning of the work day starting at 1200. I usually try and get one of the 1300 breaks because noon is too early, but I would be starving with any of the later options. The last one is at 1600. Anyway, since we use our own staff to work that shift, it’s a pretty seamless transition. It’s a good… Read more >
