Yesterday morning started off with an egg puff (1 egg and ¼ cup egg whites), ½ Costco energy bar + a small piece of gingerbread. When I got to the hospital I realized I forgot my badge so I had to drive all the way home to get it! I got back to the hospital […]
Source Lately I've been listening to music on the Songza ap on my phone in the morning during the middle of the week. Almost every morning a song comes on that totally lifts my mood! I wanted to share some of them with y'all so here they are: 1) Mambo Number Five by Lou […]
Hello Hello! Today started with a yummy breakfast of gingerbread and an egg puff (made from one egg and ¼ cup egg whites). The gingerbread was made by roommate/landlord/friend Janet and was soo good! I ate this breakfast at about 6:15 am, and somehow it had the power to hold me over till 1:15 pm. […]
Happy Monday Everyone, I hope yours was less of a true Monday then mine was. Today started with waking up frantically 10 minutes before I was supposed to leave. I don't know what happen, maybe I set my alarm wrong or shut it off and went back to sleep... either way I hate starting my […]
Workouts After we got back late from the movie last night (go see We're the Millers--> it's HILARIOUS) I opted for extra sleep this morning and missed my long run. This meant it was time to tackle my first hour long treadmill session. Here is what I did- It was going pretty well until I […]
Paul came to visit this weekend! yeah! After moving the last of my stuff out of Loma Linda we visited our favorite Thai Food in Redlands, Benjarong, it will be missed.... We saw We're the Millers, it was HILARIOUS! We were both laughing hysterically the whole time! Beautiful desert sunset... Mass at Sacred Heart in […]
55 Healthy 99 Cent Only Store Finds HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! T.G.I.F My roommate and I used to shop at the dollar store all the time throughout the last two years of graduate school. I can't believe how many times shopping at the dollar store saved us, allowing us to eat healthy without dipping to […]
Last night I woke up at 2am so hungry my stomach was rumbling and I could not go back to sleep! I tried for like 15 minutes to go back to sleep before I gave up, got up and had a midnight snack. This is totally weird for me, I can usually sleep through anything, […]
This morning started with a batch of fruit parfait style refrigerator/overnight oats. I thought I would be sick of it since I basically had the same thing in my strawberry mango smoothie bowl the night before, but nope, so creamy, delicious, and filling it was a perfect start to the hump day! For lunch I […]
Happy Hump Day Everyone! Last night after 40 minutes of yoga from yogadownload.com I couldn't decide what to make for dinner. After snacking on some soysteak I picked up at the Loma Linda Market last week, I decided to start by making today's breakfast. I do miss the Loma Linda market, a vegetarian health food/grocery […]
Sunbutter Lover Whew! Is it really only Tuesday? I don't know about you but today was crazy! I started the day off with a sunbutter, banana and raisin wrap/foldover (using a small tortilla) plus one spoonful of sunbutter straight from the jar. Are you wondering what Sunbutter is? In case you aren't lucky enough to […]
Last night I decided to skip Bodypump so that I wouldn't be stuck at the gym till 7:30pm, which means not getting home till 7:50pm at the earliest. I LOVE Bodypump but I was in the mood for fast and efficient. So after my internship I grabbed a small apple for a pre workout snack […]
Good Evening, I can't believe the sun is already down again since I've been out and about since before it came up! Proof: Too reward myself for going in early I stopped at Starbucks and got something that I never ever ever let myself have because it's so high calorie... I mean I don't when […]
Hey there, hope your weekend didn't fly by as quick as mine did! I can't believe it is Sunday night already, it just doesn't seem fair! Oh well, I'm posting late tonight because tomorrow is going to be a super bright and early morning starting at 5am, so there will be no time for blog […]
Friday Focus on ... Becoming a Breakfast Eater So another study came out with impressive results that show that those who eat more at breakfast compared with dinner lose more weight. This is not the first or the last study to demonstrate that eating your biggest meal in the AM is the best way to […]
Sweet Potato for Breakfast This mornings breakfast was uncharacteristically a HOT breakfast and it was soooooo good. I microwaved a small sweet potato for 7 minutes and topped it with a sliver of sunbutter. I also microwaved one whisked egg for 60 seconds to make an "egg puff" and topped that with lots of ketchup! […]
Whew! Today really felt like a wednesday! I got back super late from Loma Linda last night after a much needed Chipotle/Yogurtland date with my old roommates and headed straight to bed. Then this morning came way to fast! Breakfast of a Costco energy bar with sun butter and banana slices at 6:30 AM (which […]
Parfait Style Cold Oats Yesterday morning and this morning started the same creamy, cold, and delicious way... with a recycled almond butter jar full of Fruit Parfait Style Cold Oats. I'm not cool enough to have a bunch of mason jars laying around so instead I recycled a glass almond butter jar, it's going to […]
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and is ready for the week! Last night on the way back to Palm Desert from Phoenix I stopped in at good ole TJ's and picked up my loot for the week. Plus I "stole" some Costco energy bars (pretty much bagels), some pretzels, and a […]
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! Earlier this week one of my patients told me that she lives her life with “everything in moderation” and that includes what she eats. That got me thinking this whole week about how dietitians often say you don't need to restrict any foods, that everything can be enjoyed "in moderation." That sounds […]
