Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach. It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.” I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night. Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment. I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… 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 >

“Home is where the heart is” Yup. It’s true. Lucky for me, I consider both the Bay Area AND Santa Monica “home.” So even though it was a total joy to spend the weekend with my parents and sister, I’m glad to be back with Kyle. Win win. Eventually I will recap the wedding in more detail (so fun!), but for now, I’m trying to get organized for work tomorrow (reality check…wah wah). I had leftovers from Patxi’s for Saturday brunch. I had baby carrots a la mode because I enjoy fiber. Even day… Read more >

My Thursday started at 4:20 am. [I always change my alarm to a different time, so I actually think this was a 4:24 day] I wasn’t really feeling very Jillian-esque, so I zoned out to Most Eligible Dallas while pumping iron in my living room. [pumping iron = minimal reps with 3 lb dumbbells] I had pancakes for breakfast before work. [I’m not superwoman, I made these in advance, see below] As usual, I had my work eats all ready to go, including a buckwheat breakfast, a mixed leftovers salad, two Enjoy Life… Read more >

I got to work the other day and my name wasn’t on the assignment sheet. Since I had worked the day before, I was sure I didn’t get my schedule wrong. Done that before. Then I saw my name way down at the bottom of the page… Elise – float SOU SOU? After asking a few different people I found out it stood for surgical observation unit (basically the PACU for more stable patients). Ok, I thought. Something new could be fun. But where is the SOU? Nobody had any idea! I finally found out… Read more >
