This weekend was not my finest in terms of scheduling. With back to back night shifts, day time yoga classes, and the desire to squeeze in a run when the sun came out from hiding, there was hardly any time for sleeping. Ambitious? Or ridiculous? Either way, I snacked much more than I composed real meals because my body was so out of whack with all the time adjustments. Awake all night, asleep all morning, awake all afternoon…sometimes it’s just too confusing for my poor GI system. I wound up finding a solution in… Read more >

Just as I expected, you guys had such thoughtful responses to The Cove. It’s hard to not react with outrage, disgust, and horror when you find out such hideous things are going on in secret. It makes me want to take action immediately. Or at the very least do my part to help spread the word. So there you have it. Please see this film. As for Sunday. The post title pretty much sums it up. Breakfast didn’t really exist since I slept in so late. I made this bowl of oats just before the… Read more >

This weather is truly fantastic, I’m so glad I don’t work again for a few days. Thursday was a pretty exciting work day thanks to my patient with blood glucose levels vacillating between 480 and 37. The twelve hours flew by so quickly I hardly found time to eat everything I packed. Kinda in love with these organic dried mangos. I used to snack on them all the time, but then I forgot about them. My sweet tooth is very much into dried fruit, and even though the mango looks like raw cattle hide,… Read more >

What the [bleep] was up with my appetite today!? Good thing I had packed a beastly amount of food because, lemme tell you, I woke up with a hunger that just wouldn’t quit. As per usual, I started the day with Jillian (Level 3 of the Shred). I felt great throughout the 20 minutes of this, that, and the other – it’s crazy how energetic it gets me at 4:30 am. But as soon as I got out of the shower my stomach was growling like a crazy rabid Rottweiler. This is pretty atypical for… Read more >

In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >
