Better the Next Day
Hey guys! Happy Monday ๐ Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Thank you SO mucho for all of the lovely compliments on the flight dinner party. It was a lot of work, but a total blasty ๐
The rest of our weekend was filled withโฆ
Leftovers:
I had my leftover enchiโs on a bed of spinach, topped with pico
(food almost ALWAYS tastes better the next dayโฆ except for fish, blech)
Errands -my laptop still isnโt fixedโฆ Please hurry, Geek Squad
and a trip to the dog park with friends + their fur children.
Check out Bellaโs paws:
Filthy!
It was one of those weekends that didnโt feel at all *restful*, but was very, very good ๐
B-fast:
Bfast cookie dough cereal with organic strawberries and cacao nibs. Perfection ๐
Well Iโm off to my first not-at-flight-med-on-base docโs appointment. I usually prefer female docs, but today itโs a dude doc. Do you care whether your doctor is male or female??
Then:
-Errands (need to get snacks/groceries for hotlanta this week!)
-Work
-Work out
-More training appointments
See ya this afternoon with the veggie and goat cheese enchilada recipe <3

Todayโs workout jam: โYou Lost Meโ Christina Aguilera (I LOVE this song right now- itโs pretty slow, but would make for an awesome, heavy climb/hills sesh, or a triumphant cool down song)
I doesn’t matter to me if its a girl or guy doc, its just the docs personality mostly. But I gyno exam by a guy miiiight be kinda weird.
Many docs are ill informed on the Fertility Awareness Method.
Sorry, hit the button too son. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a great book! I have 2 daughters. They will each get a copy someday!
My pediatrician growing up was a male but then I switched to a female doctor (my mom’s doc, actually) because the male doctor couldn’t figure out why I was getting constant stomach cramps after a round of ultrasounds and blood work. The female doctor sent me for more blood work, ultrasounds and a barium swallow and it turns out that I had a stomach ulcer so I was thankful that she was able to find out what was wrong with me. This was going on for nearly 8 years.
For one ultrasound I had a male doing the procedure and he went through every.single.step before he actually did it, I guess to make sure I felt comfortable and knew what was happening and I appreciated it because I did feel kind of weird about it at first. Right now I have a female doc, a female allergy specialist and a male gastroenterologist. They’re the best at what they do so they’re all A-OK with me. Basically, as long as they know what they’re doing, I’m fine with either, but I think for my yearly medical exam it would have to be a female because I feel uncomfortable already with a female checking “things out.”
