Nurses Stress 101

Published

Nurses Month 2024 | Discounts & Freebies AORN Celebrates Nurses Month

Ok folks, time has come to Start anew.......over 1000 posts means LOTS of bandwidth use here at allnurses.com. So I have been asked to remedy the situation.....

Anyhow, I have enjoyed so much your sharing, help and support here on the Healthier Living Thread....let's keep it up!!!!!:)

QOD: What is your favorite "old" or "new" healthy food/recipe? Care to share?

I have "rediscovered" oatmeal. Yep old fashioned good ole Quaker Oats-----the slow cooked kind.....with raisins, a bit of cinnamon and some Splenda.....YUMMY. Eating this as my dh's cholesterol and lipid counts were very high---trying to clean up my own dietary practices to help him with his....anyhow.....

Anyone else? As you change/grow/develop new tastes, what are your "old" or "new" healthier-choice favorites??? Care to share????

Thanks a lot you guys. Tweety, when I reach my goal, I fully intend to incorporate "good carbs" like beans and non-refined grains back into my diet. I can't wait, but I still have some work to do. :D

Jess - glad I am not alone. Thank goodness the holidays don't last all year (I am like you - I used to not even think about eating a pie and a half in one night - now I feel guilty about a piece of cake - hehe - yeay - that's progress)!

Deb, thanks for the encouragement, I am trying so hard - some days are easier than others. This thread really helps keep me in check though, I think I would have failed long ago without it!

Have a good evening everybody. ;)

I went to "hot" yoga tonight and because it was so muggy I sweat and sweat and it felt so good. He kicked our butts tonight.

My turkey soup was sooooooooooooooo good.

Jess, we all have our "sticking" points.....I know I do.

I was good, went to Curves today, doing the circuit 1 1/2 times. My goal is to do it twice 3-4 days a week. I need to really work on this poor body. A lady there lost 70 lb and 100 cholesterol points in 1 year, doing the circuit 2x 3 days a week. I am building some steam....getting stronger. I just need to leave those SWEETS alone!!!!

SO you are not alone, Jess.

Sarah, WAY TO GO ----you are doing terrific!

You must have more machines . . .we go around 3 times. :confused:

We do have plenty of machines, double everything. So we only have to go around the circle once.

I went to the gym and did a very good workout with 40 minutes of cardio.

I made salmon salad for lunch (kind of like tuna salad but with canned salmon instead) and added curry powder to it, which was a nice taste.

I'm debating weather or not to go to yoga again tonight.

Jess, it's a tough time of year. I'm not even going to think I'm capable of loosing any weight. I'm just determined not to throw healthy living out the window and gain any weight.

Hopefully, this year will be moderation. (But if my Thanksgiving gluttony is a clue, I'm trouble. LOL)

You look great Tweety, so keep doing all you do and live the vida loca :)

I gained of few lbs. doing these darned pre-req's :rotfl: (let me blame it on them), I have hopes of at least maintaining my weight once I start clinicals :)

Deb - I am here, just been decorating the office all day, so not around the computer. I finally got up all our Christmas decorations - it looks beautiful! :)

Jess - hmm, can I blame pre-reqs too? :D Ugh - unfortunately I have another semester though. :( Maybe I'd better not. ;)

Gotta run - been decorating but not working, now I have a ton of cases to process and enter. Yikes! Won't be in tomorrow, but will "see" y'all again Friday!

I decided to go to yoga which I never do on Wednesday, but since I'm off I went, even though I worked out today at the gym. It was Power Yoga and it kicked my orifice really bad. I loved it.
