Woof- some Valentine’s Day! My hubby didn’t match into his program, and I had to go talk to my program director about the incident from Friday. It’s been a nerve-wracking day. I picked up chocolate covered grapes for him, and then took him to his favorite hamburger joint (since he’s wave 3, he can have …
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 …
