Adios Caroline, hello Sen. Gilliweed. Ok, ok, that’s not her last name…it’s actually a Harry Potter reference, but it’s kinda close? Sen. Gillibrand is her real name. I’m liking the recent fad of appointing female politicos to power (minus the near VP disaster). As for non-red/blue conversation, I had a pretty solid gym day, which consisted of 60 mins ellipticaling on the random setting (levels 9-15) and 15 mins of spinning (escalating intensity). No abs/arms – it was a day of rest for the mat work :) The random setting on the elliptical can be… Read more >

OMG! I seriously just had WAY too close a call with an oven disaster… Enough said? Those are brussels, since you probably can’t tell. I was at the gym and I suddenly remembered holy $*&%!! I left Brussels sprouts in the oven. I’ve never sprinted back to my apartment faster. No joke. I EFFING booked it. When I turned onto my road I was at least happy that there were no fire trucks, and we DO have a doorman, so I figured they’d recognize if smoke was consuming the hallway…but when I opened the door… Read more >

Glass of silk before leaving for work Silky soy latte from Starbucks to kick start my first day back on the unit Soy misto with lunch (from Starbucks, too) And that’s only noon! Here’s my sammie, packed the night before. It’s smart deli “turkey” with the works. This baby never disappoints! I also had a Berries GoMega odwalla bar with my AM coffee and the dried fruit with my PM JUG of apple juice. Yeah, I really really sugar loaded at… Read more >

Good (hungover) morning! Thank god I pounded water before I went to bed last night and then slept in today, because after last night’s festivities, I needed sleep and hydration big time. I had SO much fun at the work holiday party. Drinking and dancing with the whole cardiac surgery team in a fun (non hospital) environment was a complete blast. The biggest shocker, though, is how SORE I am today! I danced for maybe half and hour, but since I was in heels, I guess I was using different muscles? My quads are aching…. Read more >
