Spring Break Countdown: 7 days

by bhealthy on March 5, 2010

Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats for Breakfast….

I was lazy and efficient, mixed in 1/2 cup dry oats with 1/2 cup + of cottage cheese (the last of the container) and left it overnight to plump up. Added cinnamon and then grapes in the morning (and unphotographed almond butter).

Delicious and Quick!

For lunch, I had took leftover pasta (brown rice) and added mixed veggies (broccoli, snap peas) and a veggie burger all mashed up.

I found these veggie burgers that do not use wheat gluten as their main protein source and figured I’d give them a try

They are 100 kcal each, 14 g of protein and quite tasty in my opinion. Nothing like a 1/4 lb angus beef- but- heart smart. There are bits of carrots and beans you can see and I am excited about the other three I have left!

On the way home after a long day, I decided to grab Whole Foods salad/hot bar for dinner.

I put this together

by adding grilled rosemary chicken breast, roasted balsamic mushrooms, garlic marinated tofu, and lots of things underneath the greens ( cucumbers, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, a clump of mashed sweet potatoes, and a piece of BBQ tofu)… It was delightful and so filling.

Body:

I rested Wednesday for those that are curious! My body appreciated the time to repair itself and I just had too much studying, tutoring, and preparing to do. I felt so well rested that thursday I ran 6  miles on the treadmill followed by another yoga class. This class was very slow, very focused on breathing and stillness/small movements. It was definitely what I needed!

Mind:

My coat was turned in! ( by who , we don’t know, but I’m glad they returned it)
My exams went really well ( I think!)
I started the 10 page draft on Necrotizing Enterocolitis
I have 2 out of 3 pages complete for the Career Report due on Monday, Phew!

My career report is on Registered Dietitans’ in Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating. I love the field of nutrition so much because there are just so many areas I can see myself happily working in.  I contacted a local RD that works with athletes and ED/DE patients and a few others as well. If anyone is an RD in ED/DE or knows of one that could help me with my report, please email me or comment!

Soul:

Back on Track. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed all at once with the amount of things that I would like to do, need to do, should do, etc. It can really slow a person down and have the opposite effect of being progressive toward those “to-do’s”.  I feel like one of the reasons I love this blog is that it is my “me time” to reflect. Reflection can be so empowering and almost “resetting” in a way. I feel I have been “re-set” , re-fueled, re-charged. However you want to put it.

    Hey friend,
    Do you think you can do a post about the difference between DE/ED? I think that would be really interesting and helpful :)

    Treatment Model: I am a Psychotherapist, Registered Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist. I use an Eclectic Approach – including Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic Existential, Jungian, Narrative, Feminist Family Systems – and a Non-Diet Approach for Nutrition Therapy. This may include a variety of psychological theories and techniques, social, spiritual and environmental circumstances that affect the mind/body connection – across a broad range of client needs. I also provide Christian counseling, when requested. I work with many clients dealing with body image distortions and disordered eating patterns/issues. Regardless of age or family situation, I see individuals with a broad range of physiological, psychological, and/or sociocultural concerns that separate them from a healthy, integrated relationship (involving mind, body, food, and movement) with themselves and with others. In the end, my goal for all clients is that they will allow themselves to become more consistently aware and accepting of who they are the moment and – from that position – decide on ways to change (or stay the same). Throughout the process, I believe that a positive and supportive counseling relationship and counseling style (incorporating motivational interviewing and a focus on positive changes) are important aspects of therapeutic effectiveness.

    Ms. Travali treats Anorexia and Bulimia; males and females, infants, children, adolescents, and adults. She also works with Athletes and Compulsive Exercisers, Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, Food Addiction, Compulsive Overeating, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Night Eating Syndrome and Pica.
