***Edited to add**** I just realized this is my 1,000th post.  Crazy!  I might have to celebrate with a giveaway soon! Of course the second my neck and back start feeling normal again my stomach decides to go off the deep end.  Blah.  I probably consumed over 3000 calories yesterday, but absorbed under 100.  I was cursed with overly rapid transit time, if you catch my drift. In any event, I was pretty productive when I wasn’t in the bano.  I can’t wait to share! For breakfast I baked a mini banana bread, which was… Read more >

Presents from patients

Since I am working all day shifts this month (hooray!) I have been doing my usual 4 am rise-and-shine before work.  Taking Jillian on at the crack of dawn may seem crazy to most people, but I feel like a bada$$ when I’m done.  So worth it.  Since I did level 3 of The Shred the previous day, I decided to switch it up on Wednesday.   I buy fitness magazines from time to time (they are my rare grocery store check-out treats), but I never do the workouts inside.  Not that I’m an expert… Read more >

Who likes coupons?

I got home from work sooooo exhausted, I couldn’t even be bothered enough to put a proper meal together. Sometimes mixing 4 different kinds of cereal/granola/trail mix just hits the spot. Simple, but stellar.  Dinner doesn’t have to be gourmet to make my belly content.  My first day back to work after my bike accident was a rough one.  I got an easier patient load, but it was still hard at times.  I ached.  Lots.  Even though I alternated between ice and heat packs, none of it really helped. Anyway.  I’m hoping I can tough… Read more >

Carmageddon

First things first, I made coconut blueberry scones yesterday, and I am really pleased with the outcome.  The recipe will be up soon.  Here’s a teaser…   I had three over the course of the afternoon, very much spoiling my appetite for dinner.  They are friggin’ delicious.  Anyway.  I had one before work (breakfast #1).  And then I brought these goods for the rest of the day. Breakfast #2 – oats with silken tofu, raisins, and NuNaturals’  vanilla stevia. Lunch – salad with mixed greens, shredded zucchini, carrots, red quinoa, kelp noodles, and seitan. Snacks… Read more >
