I tried 2 new delicious recipes this weekend!! Also, I realized that we’ve made it 6 weeks now! I forgot I was counting, whoopsy! I just had to get back in my game for this week, after I’d been so badly thrown off my game on Friday. This will not be an easy week coming …
Yesterday was the WORST day- work was awful. Once I got home, one of my attendings actually called me up on my cell phone to rip me a new one. The worst thing is, I’m not completely sure I deserved it, and I know it was unprofessional for her to call me like that. My …
So, I’ve never been one for Diet drinks very much, but an interesting story came along today. The Today Show featured a story implicating artificial sweeteners’ contribution to increased cardiovascular disease and stroke. Here’s the story/video:Diet Drinks Beware Here’s the trick: even drinks that aren’t diet coke/soda/pop can still be loaded with artificial sweeteners. I …
We went out to dinner tonight, and we haven’t been out to dinner in over a month! It was so good to get out of the house and do something different! Chris didn’t really stick to the SD, but he’s long been on Wave 3 and, after being 7 pounds under his goal weight, deserved …
Thankfully, my hubby likes science. So do I. Because we looked like we had a science fair project growing in my kitchen…all in the name of delicious whole grain bread. Totally worth it! It’s been over 10 years since I last made bread, and we jumped right back in with both feet by making Sprouted …
Yesterday, I was up way too late with the game to post…but we did make an SD Superbowl Party! Chris had the leftover pizza from Saturday, plus I made Chicken in a Smoky BBQ Wing Sauce, Tortilla Chips (like Friday’s post) & salsa, Ranch “Chips” (they were thin-cut yellow squash coated in ranch seasoning & …
Today was a “cooking” day for me- meaning it’s my day to prepare as much in advance for the upcoming week as I can. I made some chicken broth (from the bones from the roasted chicken earlier this week), whole wheat breadcrumbs (from the leftover loaf of bread from last week), Sonoma Granola (for yogurt!), …
Week 5: lost 2 more pounds! Finally- after being stuck at 9-10 pounds for 2-3 weeks, I am down 2 more pounds for a total of 12 pounds!! I love it! I am smaller than I was before the wedding, which is weird, because I worked out sooooo hard before the wedding. For months and …
I thought of the most hilarious memory today, and it happens to be one of my more embarrassing moments, too. As a first year med student, the Women’s Health Club was holding a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness, and they made sweatshirts that said, “Support My Rack.” They emailed this info out to the whole …
Sometimes, I am appalled at people- appalled. Here someone sits, he/she just had their cardiac cath done (for their encroaching cardiac disease), and as they wait for discharge they are eating McDonald’s while STILL IN THE CATH LAB. Out. Of. Order. No MA’AM/SIR. For the love, this is why they’re sitting in the cath lab …
