Tuesday's come and go in the blink of an eye.

I don't think I could ever blog on a Tuesday unless I get another computer / fix my laptop. Tuesday's are the most absolute insane day of the week by far.. Tuesday mornings I'll arrive at the office by 8:00 am. Clean a bit, and hope to God no patient's come early. I'll plug in the radio, check the messages (and return them), leave out the washroom keys and set up the paperwork just in time for the first few patients to arrive. We start clinic at 9:00 am sharp and it goes until about 1:40 pm. Yesterday I had scheduled an assessment - this is where a patient has gotten into a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) or some sort of accident has occurred to them ie, dog bite, which in turn has scarred them for life - not only physically but mentally as well. It's sad really.. but needless to say, it was a busy day.

There used to be times it would be so busy, I would just happen to look at the time and it's like "shit, it's 2 pm and I haven't eaten anything ALL day". Thankfully I've been trying to listen to my body so when I start to feel the rumble, I will drink some water, let it sit and if the rumble comes back I eat.

Here's my food diary from yesterday:
Breakfast: Bran muffin + 1/2 protein shake
Snack: Celery, few bites of baked sweet potato
Lunch: Stuffed orange pepper
Snack: 1/2 protein bar, clementine
Dinner: 1 pint of Molson Canadian, sweet potato fries (shared with mama B), salad and (4) breaded and sauced wings. I gave the leftovers to Jack, and so did my mom (aka Mama B)
Side note - yesterday's dinner was not my cheat meal. I didn't have carbs at all yesterday so the breading on the wings didn't count as anything. NOOOTTTHIIINNNG =)

Went to bed early in hopes of going to the gym today but my body needed and wanted sleep. Walked in the rain for 30 minutes (which was the only lunch break I had).. it was still a break though so I can't complain.

Today is Wednesday AKA Post Tuesday. Time to call the patients for booking major surgery in the O.R. and faxing out referrals... I'll try to blog again after my intern leaves. Stay tuned.
PS: No gym yesterday.

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

Updates and Basil, Cilantro, Garlic Bread

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time. Here's some updates since my last blog: - I moved - It wasn't my choice but it had to be done. The lady that owned our condo wanted us to buy it or leave. So we left (there were way too many things to be fixed and wasn't worth our time, energy and money). Now I live in the basement of my mother in law's home with my boyfriend, Jack. - I no longer consume animals or animal by products. I'm 90% vegan and I say 90 % because I cannot consume vegan cheese. Has anyone ever tried it? IT'S LEGIT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. I eat cheddar cheese (only) once, twice or three times a month. So let's get down to business, to the reason why I made you come to this entry on my blog. The main way I cook in this basement is with my slow cooker. I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Vegan basil pesto bread which obviously sounds delicious. *Word to the non - vegans, pesto contains parmesan. There was a recipe to make vegan...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
