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????

AH thank goodness I was not the only one...

Hard to stay on my plan when I had my anniversary dinner Friday and a dinner cruise for Christmas last night----I tried to keep it to small amounts and took home some doggie bags----but I know the calorie count was too huge to even contemplate. Time to get back to work.....

It's a new day, right???

Hi guys! Sorry - been gone for a while, but yes, our office is decked to the hills with X-mas stuff! I had so much fun! :) I love the holidays. Now . . . if I could just get rid of the cold weather and snow :rotfl:

I have been good lately, but today is our anniversary, so I probably won't stick to the full-tilt diet tonight because I'm sure we will be going out. I will do my best to be good though and at least keep portions in mind. :D

Rats, I forgot to get a plantain today at the grocery store. Oh well, I'll still eat my usual style beans for today. I'm also eating brussel sprouts and a salad, and boneless breasts of chicken marinated in mojo.

I called John to ask him to get some lettuce on the way home..."what's for supper".........."boneless, fat free chicken"..........."yeah boneless, fatless, and tasteless". Sorry, no fried dark meat today. LOL

Thanks Deb & Jess - yes, ours was kind-of a "spur of the moment" wedding, hence it is December, but it has worked - 9 years and we still love each other, that has to be a good thing. :D

Tweety - aah, I know what you mean, poor John :chuckle You two are so good, I seem to sway with my dedication.
