Organizer Bunny
It just keeps going and going and going and going.
The month of shift changes continues, and with it the salads at RT and breakfasts at Denny's. Happily, last night I was able to come home for dinner and cook for my Orange One. I made a very simple dish of all his kale, eu choi and mustard green and Swiss chard stems chopped and boiled in veggie broth with garlic and 150 calories of eggwhites. Blackberries with hazelnut oil on the side, olive and flax oil added to the dish. I wasn't feeling well... I seem to have acquired a bizarre stomach virus... so I just ate some eggwhites with flax oil and Carolina Treet and a half cup of cottage cheese with a half cup of Trader Joe's marinara on top. I was feeling so sick that I added some Coke to my pinot noir! Now that's desperate. Coke always settles my stomach though, and I was able to eat. MR did all the dishes so that I could go straight to bed after dinner.
Still not feeling well at all, but did my shift change meeting this morning as usual, then went over to the old apartment for the last time to gather the last of my belongings and say goodbye. Turned in my keys.
Off to return to Ruby Tuesday's. Then after shift change I'm coming back to the office to make work calls until 7 pm, then heading over to meet my friend Melinda for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Remember how I got the excellent eggwhite omlette there last time we went? I'm looking forward to a healthy, CR friendly treat. Then when I get home, there will be a strange man in my house!

I AGREE with you 250%!!! You go girl, right on!!
I am a 'croner' (it's what I call myself) and have been for much of my life, -- even BEFORE I ever learned about it. Was once called anorexia by my own mother!! (didn't know that until I read it in her journal after she died) Have had a distaste for the SAD (sad american diet) that almost everyone I know is on, and they wonder why they can't lose weight, or are sick all the time?
My co-workers consider me a health food junkie... (because my lunches are usually salads, yogurt, fruit, etc.) but then I am below my average weight, 52 years old and often thought to be in my late 30's. My husband thinks I'm sexy and can't keep his hands off of me... even after over 13 years of marriage. (sometimes it drives me nuts, but I do love the attention!)He threatens to send my picture to Prevention magazine!! Ha HA!!
Write me back and let's swap stories!! I love your blog and you keep pressin' on girl, cuz you'll outlive them all! Now we'll see who has the last laugh!!
keep on taking good care of yourself... hope to hear back from you1
blessings,
Laurie
