If I told you I’ve been blasting the new Britney Spears song on repeat for most of the day? You probably should. It’s not exactly brilliant in the lyrics department. It’s catchy, but overly repetitive. At least it inspired me to make a new running mix…which inspired me to go on a run…which made me feel like a million bucks for the entire day. Chain reaction a la B. Spears. This morning started with a late wake up. Unlike yesterday’s garbage truck fiasco, this was the perfect way to enjoy my morning off. Then I… Read more >

How many photos do you take of the same dish before feeling like you adequately captured the meal’s deliciousness? Sometimes I feel like a nut job circling the table taking a million and one pictures of the exact. same. thing. Dancing around doing laps like a hawk stalking it’s prey. Until I finally feel satisfied that I got the perfect picture of breakfast. Who would have thought the lighting of effing oatmeal would ever be so important to me. I hope I’m not the only one… Anyways, clearly this morning’s breakfast was oatmeal. Nothing new… Read more >

They say evidence is damning. And I have to agree. My camera has been revealing some of these truths. Here’s proof… …that I should always cook oats on the stove or eat them raw …that working three shifts in a row can cause you to add extra zeros (at least it was the microwave – which has far less disastrous consequences than a patient’s meds!) …that everything is salvageable (just add nut butter) …that I will never get bored of apples …that you can make quinoa “ghetto” …that my patients are turning me into a… 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 >
