My goodness! I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks. Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness. Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care. Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care. I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action. No worries, I have a plan. But first, my past few days of work eats. Clif… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

Ok, I’m about to get personal…if you don’t wanna hear it, skip ahead. Today, for the second time in 3 days (aka since I’ve been back in NYC), I’ve broken down and cried my eyes out. I’ve tried to ignore it – tried to pretend it’s just homesickness, or the weather, or hormones, or some combination of all these things…whatever. The fact is: I’m sick of being miserable and pretending I’m not. Unfortunately, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I am usually pretty good at identifying the issue and working past it, but I… Read more >

After a fairly miserable red-eye flight, Kyle and I returned to our 10 degree apartment Monday morning. 🙁 With a list of errands longer than the Gettysburg address and a brain still on a mental vacay, it goes without saying…I felt a bit overwhelmed. It didn’t help that I couldn’t stop shivering for the first 2 hours. I finally had to take a shower to get my body temp back to a normal range. After a piping hot cup of cocoa (the apartment is coffee-less!!) I unpacked, laundered, made a grocery list…and STILL felt like… Read more >

Working on the holidays isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I realize there are worse things (like being a patient). So I tried to make the most of it, and celebrated regardless. I was working with my fave co-RNs, too, which helped make the day fun, rather than depressing. Last night, in an effort to get to bed on time, I threw this lunch together way too fast. I’d like to blame the lack of groceries on my desire to save $$ and use up what’s currently in the deepest depths of the pantry,… Read more >
