odwalla bar

i heart Bruno’s

First of all, check out this BOMB shopping trip (I stocked up on the odwalla bars – mmmm). These are such great snacks because they aren’t too filling, but are still healthy and yum. Second of all, I feel as though Bruno’s Ravioli deserves a may-jah shout out considering I go there EVERY day I work. They have the best coffee (that also happens to be cheaper than starbucks) and their salads, sandwiches, and soups are to-DIE-for delicious. Everyone that goes there falls in love, and that’s not an exaggeration. So of course today was… Read more >

gimme gimme (more)

I actually woke up with a hop in my step today – how weird is that? At 5 am?! On a work day?! That’s not even normal for a morning person…let alone me. I think it’s because I wanted to be over my cold SOOO badly, I was trying to will it to happen. I felt a little better, still way sick, but at least I could walk to work without getting out of breath. I had a glass of tea before I left (this NEW kind). Green tea with acai and pomegranate…so good. Hopefully,… Read more >

still stuffed to the brim

Ughhhh. Too much food. I don’t know how I managed to feast and feast and feast – like it was my last meal or something! Anyways, working the day after t-day was neither pleasant nor comfortable as a result of my out of control eating. I managed to make a sando for myself before work (the same old smart deli turkey). I had 2 cups of Bruno’s coffee (one before work and one on my lunch break) and 2 cups of applesauce that my patient’s family brought me (no pic). Super protein!! Delish odwalla goodness… Read more >

gobble gobble

I woke up starving…never a good way to start off thanksgiving! So I made sure to leave for work extra early so I could enjoy a steamy cup of coffee and a heaping bowl of oatmeal. And by heaping, I mean HEAPING! I used 2 packets of Nature’s Path (one original with flax and one cinnamon raisin) and added in soy milk (vanilla silk) and a tablespoon (or 3 or 4) of peanut butter!! Hello piglet šŸ™‚ Basically, thanksgiving is going to be a FULL day, since it is already 6 am and I am… Read more >

smorgasbord

Today was not a day I was looking forward to…but all good things must come to an end, so back to work I went… It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated (most likely because I went in with the lowest of low expectations) – how sad that I approach my job this way?! Whatever. The unit was slow-ish, but I still had 3 patients. It was nice to work with Miranda and Jaja at least…Here’s the lunch I packed the day before.Smart deli turkey sammie with greek yog, mustard, and lettuce on A street bread…. Read more >
