Oh, today is one of those crazy days. I am on call {again}. Although, having completed my workouts in the AM all week has proved to be worth it and helped with some very stressful situations! This morning, I did a Jillian Michaels “Shred it Weights” workout (killer), and then a Yoga “Zen in your Den” workout. I gotta admit, I never thought of myself as a Yogi, but since I’ve been doing yoga (about 6 months), I really can tell that I take that peacefulness with me throughout my day! It’s making a huge difference! Haha, I have got to admit I also love to dance, and I’m looking for a good dance style workout for one of my mornings. Yesterday, I stumbled upon one such workout…which in the end turned out to be a little hoochie-mama-esque! I just couldn’t stick with that one, LOL. I was laughing too hard!!!
As of today, I am finished with Nephrology, and begin Cardiology next week, with a couple of call nights in between. Of all my various rotations, I think Nephrology has been my favorite. My attending really spent a lot of time teaching, which is, sadly, rare. I got so much out of it! I hear Cardiology is good for teaching also, but very very very busy. Like, 16 hour days + call with no post-call-benefits-busy. Yikes.
And now, a few notes about…Yogurt!! I looooove me some yogurt. Love it! This has been a metamorphosis, as well- I’ll explain. At first, I only loved the sugary pre-flavored stuff. Y’know, like yoplait or Dannon. I was on the Dannon Light n’ Fit train for a while…until I met Fage. It’s greek yogurt. It’s impossibly thick. Amazingly rich. Incredibly creamy. And totally allowed. Last fall, I was first introduced to it, and I thought it was good, but at some points, sour. Now, it’s all I will eat. 8 whole ounces are so satisfying for breakfast with granola, honey, blackberries, and blueberries. Absolutely indulgent~but totally kosher with the SD. Love!! I have yet to try it with fresh cut strawberries, but I am looking forward to that when they are in season. Even just with honey- yum! Mix it up with whatever you like, and see what happens!
