Bedtime - will take fish oil and ZMA

NOTE:
-Too many almonds again.  I think I eat them when I’m too lazy to chew my vegetables.
-Not only did I fall off the protein bar wagon, but I ate two in a row I was so hungry while dinner shopping at Ralph’s.  Seriously, it’s like they put crack in those things.
-Bad planning on my part resulted in me not bringing my salad to our staff meeting, then I had no time to eat before the end of the day and that’s what brought on the protein bars.  I still have a salad and veggies in my fridge at work that should have been eaten instead of almonds and protein bars.  Tomorrow will be a fresh day!
-I was very pleased with the dinner I made, though—super yummy!

1/25

Alright, well after a month of not journaling and eating lord knows what, I’m back on the wagon.  The combo of holidays, having fun cooking, stomach flu/food poisoning, and general food malaise over the last couple months has done me in and I’m tired of feeling yucky as a result.

-Leftovers rock.  The dates, veggie torte, and relish were all homemade leftovers from recent meals I’ve prepared.

-I did good until the end of the day and then I was just too tired to cook.  I knew I didn’t have anything fast to make in my house.  Will remedy that for the future—usually I keep some soup or Trader Joe’s Indian Fare for these sort of nights.

-the pomegranate & dried fig relish I made is GOOOOD and pretty easy to make. I still have more of all the ingredients so I may make up another batch.

NOTES:

-Made it out to eat at a real restaurant.  Went to La Grande Orange and had yummy eggs and one of their big English muffins. Yum!  Haven’t found the idea of any meat or veggies appetizing yet, so I gave my bacon to Michael—I must still be sick if I’m giving away bacon!!!

-Question: Do they made regular jello pudding cups anymore??  All I could find when I went shopping yesterday was Sugar Free or Fat Free.  Is there no normal pudding?

-Got a migraine tonight. Not surprised with how jacked up my system has been.  Glad it didn’t happen sooner, actually.

NOTES:

-Today was an exploration in soft harmless foods.  Aside from my stomach & guts making ridiculous grumbling noises all went well.  Didn’t want to eat too much and have it come back to haunt me—plus after not having eaten much in days, it doesn’t take much for me to feel uncomfortably full.
