This weekend was not my finest in terms of scheduling. With back to back night shifts, day time yoga classes, and the desire to squeeze in a run when the sun came out from hiding, there was hardly any time for sleeping. Ambitious? Or ridiculous? Either way, I snacked much more than I composed real meals because my body was so out of whack with all the time adjustments. Awake all night, asleep all morning, awake all afternoon…sometimes it’s just too confusing for my poor GI system. I wound up finding a solution in… Read more >

This weather is truly fantastic, I’m so glad I don’t work again for a few days. Thursday was a pretty exciting work day thanks to my patient with blood glucose levels vacillating between 480 and 37. The twelve hours flew by so quickly I hardly found time to eat everything I packed. Kinda in love with these organic dried mangos. I used to snack on them all the time, but then I forgot about them. My sweet tooth is very much into dried fruit, and even though the mango looks like raw cattle hide,… Read more >

I’m happy to report Thursday’s shift was MUCH better than Wednesday’s. I had the same patients, but they were much more stable after the previous day’s shenanigans. I actually prefer having the same patients regardless of how sick they are because there’s a level of familiarity for both me and the patient. Plus, continuity of care minimizes the chances that stuff will get lost in communication between other care givers, and it’s nice to develop a rapport with them as well as a routine. Speaking of routines. I packed up my goods, as per usual…. Read more >

Check out my dinner! Vegan waffles made from scratch :) The recipe is so hearty and delicious (and also top secret), you may or may not recall why…but I’ll get back to that later. For now, breakfast. I suppose this could be seen as a parfait of sorts. On the bottom: pumpkin oats with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup whole rolled oats, NuNaturals liquid stevia, and Tropical Traditions shredded coconut. On the top: vanilla greek yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon. I managed to take a picture of my snack, too. I pretty much eat… Read more >

You didn’t work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I didn’t really mind it, since I got to celebrate early with my family. On the 24th, I woke up early to sweat out a quick 20 minute Shred, which I followed up with a hearty tupperware full of overnight oats. I used 1/2 cup rolled oats and then mixed in an almost equal portion of canned pumpkin with only an itty bit of water. This created a crazy thick consistency as it “gelled” overnight. Other goodies included Tropical Traditions shredded coconut, dried cherries, and NuNatural liquid… Read more >
