I have been putting EVERY effort into helping my body heal, so after several consecutive days of working, I was really looking forward to sleeping in and skipping the gym. I slothed it up on the couch all day long. I kid you not. ALL.DAY.LONG. What goes with laziness? TV and grub. Enter DVR and a marathon of breakfasts. My toast with Smart Balance light (it’s vegan, yo) didn’t hold me over very long, so an hour later I opted for a bowl of granola to supplement my brekkie (and a super overflowing cup of… Read more >

Boy oh boy is it exhausting taking NYC by storm in one weekend! Sunday’s weather was far nicer than Saturday’s (in that there was less rain), but JUST as nasty in terms of humidity… I still started the day with java and fruit. There may have been a bit of a SoapNet marathon throughout the AM. Is there a better show to get ready to start the day than 90210? I think not 🙂 After digesting and beautifying, we set off for Brooklyn. I love the promenade/DUMBO area. So cute – and such great… Read more >

In the interest of…well…interest, this post is going to be super short. Nothing remotely exciting happened today. 5 AM – I woke up to the annoying buzz, buzz, buzzzzzz of my alarm 7AM to 7 PM – Workface Please direct all questions about my lunch to your mom the comments section. I doubt you’ll have any, it’s not like this was anything new… Oh wait, there was this: How’d that fatty sneak it’s way into my chickpeas???? The main thrill of the day was the medical staff appreciation mini-shindig thingy that the hospital hosted at… Read more >

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple. Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick. Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come. Wha?! I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho. No bueno. I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too. Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >

Guess who’s turning 21 today!?!?! My baby sister, Marie!!! Somehow I am the shortest in my fam, even though I’m the oldest. Boo. I can’t believe she’s turning 21. She’ll always be 12 in my eyes. I can’t wait for her to visit NYC in August – we are going to celebrate in a MAYJ way! In case you were wondering (since I was just wishing happy birthday for my , yes, my sissie-poo and my popsicle do have back to back birthdays. Now, onto the food. Liquid AM. Slosh slosh.
