All day long I was fantasizing about tonight’s dinner. Kyle and I had plans for a night out on the town to meet in the West Village after I got off work to try out a vegan restaurant called Gobo. The menu looked unbelievable, so I was basically salivating all day in anticipation. But first, I had to get through a day of work. For some reason I was starving way more than usual today…then I remembered an article I read in Shape mag, which made me feel better (apparently pre-red tent time it’s common… Read more >

So, I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day person. In fact, I pretty much refuse to “celebrate” on the actual day. It’s not that I’m anti-romance, it’s just…I don’t need a designated day of the year to display my affection, I love Kyle all year long (and I make sure he knows it all year long)!!! That said. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!!!! I worked today. What can I say, work was work. Lunch: sammie with every color bell pepper Other treats: carob raisins, dried fruit mix, dried pineapple, dried figs, apple, odwalla bar, and lots of… Read more >

I woke up to Kyle getting ready for work (he’s normally so quiet, but lately, not so much)…so (again) I embraced it and got the day under way. Unlike Kelly, I chose tv over napping 🙂 I went craaaazy with my coffee this morning, frothed vanilla silk and a stevia/cinnamon combo sprinkled on top. Um, this is my heaven. Brekkie: Fench toast with “egg” beaters and Alvarado street bread…with a lot of Earth Balance melted on top. Lunch: Sammie on Alvarado street bread with sabra hummus, greek yogurt, tofu AND smart deli “turkey” plus… Read more >

Today was a slowwwwww day, but it was a good one. Work was nice, some funny stories (maybe I’ll share one later), but altogether a mellow day. No complaints. I woke up at 4 am (a la Erin) completely on my own, alert and awake, so I embraced it! I’m sayin’ I obviously arrived at Starbeezies way early (like 6ish) so I enjoyed the AM crossword and my book (Me & Emma) – which is soooo good btw. Totally hooked. So, funny story: Sometimes we get ER patients in the middle of the night since… Read more >

I really think the temp on unit today was almost in the 90’s. I don’t really know why…but everyone who came to our floor commented about the sauna-like environment so I KNOW it wasn’t just me. So, it’s safe to say I was sweating BULLETS all day long. Ok, but let’s get down to business with the grub… NEW kind of tofu!!! I baked TJs tofu yesterday for the weeks worth of lunches… While the kcals were a bit more than the Lite brand I usually get (Nasoya silken firm), it turned golden brown WAY… Read more >
