Back to work already?! Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill. Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things. The verdict? Good, but different. I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do. I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >

Are you getting tired of me working so much? I hope the packed lunches aren’t too boring, but whatcha gonna do, right? Today’s lunch eats included tupperwared kale chips and a salad, DOS manzanas, a buncha bars (Clif’s Z bars and Odwalla repeats from yesterday), and dried papaya spears/pears. As I headed out on my lunch break today, I saw a pretty fantastic sight (these things tend to occur outside the Emergency Dept). Picture a homeless Caucasian man (60-ish years old) in a wheelchair rocking a black baby back and forth, and bouncing it up… Read more >

What a short lived break. Having only one day off of work was such a tease. So back to the hospital I went. The usual crew of lunchables: salad with a lot of greenery, roasted carrots with cranz, Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif bar (why does this have to be seasonal, it’s SO good), PB cookie Larabar (best flavor, definitely, best flavor), TWO apples (not baby horse ones, these are the big bad boys), dried pineapple and pears. Foggy bag much? By the way, I’m completely obsessed with roasting carrots into fries. I could easily go… Read more >

Lately I’ve been having such rando cravings, I feel like a preggo! (Don’t worry Mom…) I had frozen pizza just the other day, and yet, the following TWO days I had pizza as well. Seriously. Who am I? This is pretty odd considering pizza is not exactly a food I would typically associate with strong feelings of lust. Growing up, it was never a food I especially craved. As fun as pizza parties were, discovering I was lactose intolerant at such a young age severed any chance of forming the quintessential bond that most kids… Read more >

So if you go to bed at 2 am, it would only seem natural to sleep in extra long the next day to catch up, right? Somebody tell that to my body. My rebellious REM cycle had me up WAY too early on my Monday off. Darn it. The one perk of being up before the sun? I was able to get all my errands done that had been piling up since last week. After my laundry was started (and my coffee was a-brewin’), I threw together some vanilla protein pancakes (yes, that’s what the… Read more >
