I worked Monday and Tuesday. This means that I’m now playing catch up in life and on the blog. Being out of town this weekend meant that my pre-work food prep was minimal. However, Kyle and I stopped on the way home from San Clemente for a huge grocery shopping trip, so it wasn’t a complete scavenger hunt. For breakfast I mixed up my normal oat routine by adding in wheat bran. Also in the mix was a chopped up baby yellow delicious apple, cinnamon, stevia, and raisins. The wheat bran didn’t change much in… Read more >

A few days ago Kailey posted about her idea of balance and then she encouraged others to share their own version. To me, balance is not getting stressed out about making things even and constant. It’s just not realistic pour moi. Because I work such long hours, but then have full days off in between, I know that each day will be new and different than the last. I work weekends, night shifts, day shifts, holidays, whatever. And I’m never sure of how my day will go either. Will my patient load be easy and… Read more >

What the [bleep] was up with my appetite today!? Good thing I had packed a beastly amount of food because, lemme tell you, I woke up with a hunger that just wouldn’t quit. As per usual, I started the day with Jillian (Level 3 of the Shred). I felt great throughout the 20 minutes of this, that, and the other – it’s crazy how energetic it gets me at 4:30 am. But as soon as I got out of the shower my stomach was growling like a crazy rabid Rottweiler. This is pretty atypical for… Read more >

In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >

Many of you have expressed interest in a post dedicated to how I prep for the week. I have been reluctant to do this (read: lazy) because, quite frankly, it’s a ton of work…taking pictures throughout the process would only add on extra time…and that’s not even including the posting part. Today, however, I felt inspired. Here’s a brief look at my process of getting things organized. Goals: Chop raw vegetables Roast squash/potato/vegetables Make tofu/seitan Make quinoa Make Kyle something (lasagna or pasta in bulk) Miscellaneous dish (“tuna” salad, crock-pot stew, chewy oat bars, etc.)… Read more >
