After the long (but relatively smooth) work weekend, all I wanted to do was sleep in ‘til noon. Unfortunately, I had (have) a to-do list the size of China, so that was out of the question. I felt like a full time secretary with the amount of time I was on the phone and doing paperwork. Ick. Those things should be illegal on days off. Hey Barack, can we get a bill passed on that? Since I was buried in boring, my brain kinda stalled out on me, and so I had what is probably… Read more >

Sorry to go AWOL on you all this weekend…I was livin’ it up in the hospital (or a less fun sounding version of that story). Either way, I was packing lunches, eating on the fly, and here’s the quick and dirty… Saturday Salad, fruit, veg, bacteria coated baggy, super protein Odwalla bar. First at bat, a salad with spinach, red bell pepps, edamame, raw cauliflower, and dried cranz (with a heavy handed pour of Bragg’s liquid aminos on top). On deck, a bag of carrots, and a bag of pretzels (and by the way, I… Read more >

Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift. Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check. Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada. Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below). I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >

I won’t burst into Annie’s theme song, but it’s definitely a relief to see the sun again. Caffeine + froth = a hop in my step Oddly enough, I started feeling iffy again half way through this HUGE mug, so I curbed the coffee and set my sights on the next meal. I guess meal isn’t the right word, but apples need no justification. Blogging and random dilly-dallying (cooking, emailing, erranding, etc.) around the apartment took up the majority of my morning, and pretty soon noon rolled around and I needed sustenance. I added the… Read more >

I feel like I need to play catch up. As I mentioned in my eco hippie post, I was a bit ill the other day, so my pics were pretty boring. Here’s a queasy stomach tutorial: First, drown yourself in tea… Then, slowly make your way through as many different carbs as you can get your hands on… Natural antioxidants don’t hurt either… (Thanks to the POM fairy, Ryan, I am stocked for a while, too – score) Mid-day napping is practically a given…on top of several hours in front of the t.v. (i.e. Top… Read more >
