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 >

Finally! A bit of a break from the hospital. The past few days have been busy busy because I’m out of town this weekend which means all my shifts got crammed into the beginning of the week. What that means for you all is this post will be full of several pre-packed work meals. L to R: Bread, Salad, Dried Fruit & Nut Bar The bread was a fresh french roll from WF bakery. It had a ménage à trois with hummus and carrots later in the day. Sexy. The salad was a… Read more >

So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

I’d try to label these meals, but since I’m still on a bizarre night shift schedule breakfast is dinner, dinner is lunch, up is down, left is right…who knows…time is irrelevant in my life now. I’m not really normal anymore. I made a PB & AB sando. Yeah, skip the jelly, my sandwich was all about nutbutters. I ate some straight outta the jar too. I have no shame. I just sat on my butt, spoon, jar, spoon, jar, spoon…you get it. It occurred to me (after slowly licking 1/2 cup of nut butter) that… Read more >

After my string of night shifts, I simply wanted to sleep and veg out all day. So that’s what I did. I didn’t leave the apartment. I didn’t even change out of my pajamas. Normally I feel at least a little bit of pressure to work out, especially since I’m supposedly “training” for a triathlon. But I didn’t. It’s rare that I don’t have feelings of guilt for being a sloth – which is something I’m always working on. I am a firm believer that guilt is a pointless emotion. Being healthy means being… Read more >
