If I had known that reading and drinking were valid excuses for staying home, I would have! Apparently I am doing it wrong.
Back from Disney. Ya'll...I love Disney...but I do NOT like Disney at Christmas. At least not on Christmas Day. My hips ache from standing, and my feet are wrecked. But I got to hug Mickey Mouse, Eeyore gave me a kiss, and I got to watch my niece and nephews giggle and smile, so not all bad.
On the subject of work, I'm hoping to at least get put on call tonight. It'd be really great to get cancelled all together, but the odds of that are fairly low. Surgery volume is down so I'd probably get pulled to the ICU and, because of the holiday, all the brand spanking new nurses will be working. H says the acuity is super high as well. DNW to be the only seasoned nurse on with all the newbs and an ICU full of super sick patients.
I'm laying in bed researching the Whole 30. I don't think I could go 30 days without dairy.
No dairy? But there is milk in lattes. I can't go without lattes...
*off to research
My thoughts exactly. I cherish my morning coffee and I don't know if I can exist without a splash of half & half. But let's be honest, I didn't get fat because of my splash of half & half. It's all the other crap throughout the day!!!! I might just focus on tracking my food and not eating crap. No specific plan.

I always look at it and try to convince myself I could do it...but...I can't. I could give up any one or two categories, but not all. And with my schedule planning meals that are allowed would be so hard. I want to do something...just not that!

Nothing to add on this except a big THANK YOU to all the hardworking nurses and doctors on this board.

I would be fine without milk. I think the last time I had a glass of milk was about 2 years ago and I'm certain it was chocolate. Cheese though? Can't live without. Can't.

I could probably do dairy alternatives (almond/coconut milk) in my coffee and could maybe live without cheese...I used to rarely eat it. I actually think grains would be hardest for me (which is probably the thing I need to do the most). I'm with you requiressnacks and think just keeping strict watch on my food in general is more likely than any set plan.

starbuck27 I have friends who have done it and are now hyper aware of everything they eat. They basically eat similarly to how they did before, but with slight modifications. I think it depends where you start from...MH eats almost no sugar so we have been reading labels for years, but if you're not aware of all the sneaky ways it gets in, being hyper vigilant for 30days helps you be more aware in general, if that makes sense? But most went back to eating everything at least in some quantity.

Oh this sounds just awful. This reminds me of the awful feelings of being on call while no was working at the hospital. Especially because you would hardly ever be called to your own floor. Once I got called into a different floor and got four admissions in a 2 hour period to deal with. Talk about a nightmare. I had to change my ringtone after I left because hearing that sound in the evenings would give me anxiety!! Lol.
Fingers crossed so hard you don't get called in!!! Or at least get called in to something easy.
Because of potassium issues I am electing to be doctor supervised for my weight loss challenge. I am also trying to pippin the work bathroom and the girl next to me have no problem just letting it go. Lord I need her confidence.
I'm going to need a translation here. Are you trying to get the work bathroom to be only yours?

That's a bad night.
Thankfully, when I get out on call I'm only on call for open heart recovery and the 4 ICUs. I get so anxious because the ICUs are all so specialized that it's almost impossible to be competent if you're not working there regularly, does that make sense? I work between open heart/vascular recovery and cardiothoracic/vascular ICU, which is a far cry from what they do in Neuro/Trauma ICU. I feel like I could hold my own in SICU, but my worst nightmare is getting pulled to Neuro. I think the last time I worked there was over 5 years ago.

I think she's trying to say that she's trying to *poop in the work bathroom.

Oh that absolutely makes sense. People like to assume that if you have ICU experience you can handle whatever is thrown at you when that is absolutely not the case!!
So I will cross my fingers that at least you don't get pulled to neuro!! (Since chances are you will get called in )
I did whole30. I bought the book, reseached, planned meals, and was sick the entire time. I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago, and I don't think I could process all the fats effectively. But, it really isn't that hard if you can stick to the prep work. There are some super yummy recipes. We still make a pad Thai with "zoodles" and homemade almond butter, and if DH like sweet potatoes more, I'd do the breakfast casseroles all the time. They are really great!

I think I need to start doing the workout challenges on here again. I'm always tagged in them but haven't participated for the last couple of months. It notifies me every day and I always feel guilty.

I decided to work in the office this morning and from home in the afternoon. Regretted that the minute my car first slid on my commute. We are only supposed to get an inch of slow but the roads are slippery. My car slid 3 times, luckily I hit no one and no one hit me. Plenty of fender benders on the roads though.
