This Monday was especially painful because the sun was radiating into my patients’ rooms all day long. It was heavenly, but I was stuck in the hospital. So it was agonizingly beautiful. Such a tease! At least I had good food to enjoy on my lunch break… Bars, apples, baggies, tupperware. Fabulous. In the tupp: spinach, seaweed salad, carrots, broccoli, and pepitas. To the people who asked, I sometimes make my own seaweed salad, but this one was store bought (you can see a different salad of the same brand here). Occasionally they have them… Read more >

My goodness! I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks. Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness. Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care. Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care. I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action. No worries, I have a plan. But first, my past few days of work eats. Clif… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

If you follow my tweets you probably saw that I decided to do a little overtime the other day… If you know my normal work hours (7 am – 7 pm) you may be wondering if I am an overachiever crazy… (Yes, is the short answer) But because two night nurses called in sick, there were minimal options, and ultimately I decided to stay at the hospital until midnight (when a replacement could arrive). Class, pull out your calculators. If you don’t have a calculator I’ll help you out, that makes 17 hours of fun… Read more >

Ok, I’m about to get personal…if you don’t wanna hear it, skip ahead. Today, for the second time in 3 days (aka since I’ve been back in NYC), I’ve broken down and cried my eyes out. I’ve tried to ignore it – tried to pretend it’s just homesickness, or the weather, or hormones, or some combination of all these things…whatever. The fact is: I’m sick of being miserable and pretending I’m not. Unfortunately, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I am usually pretty good at identifying the issue and working past it, but I… Read more >
