NOTES:

-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.

can of organic split pea soup

1/2 packet of almonds
excedrin

9:45pm
1/2 packet of almonds
sugar free jello pudding cup

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.

Sleep - ???, very little

10:30am
1/2 small vanilla McDonald’s shake

NOTES:
-Sick as a dog all night all over again.  I think I tried to do too much and eat too much normal food yesterday.  I felt really feverish by the time I was teaching evening classes.  In bed all day today resting and trying to get a little water down.

12/2

Sleep - 0 hours??

8:15pm
Small cup egg drop soup

NOTES:

-Had food poisoning or some such from the Counter last night.  Started right before midnight and I don’t think I slept at all until around 11am for an hour.  Horrible nauseau and muscle cramps. Yuck yuck yuck.

-I should probably subtract the last meal or two from yesterday’s log, as they didn’t stay down!

12/1

Sleep - 5.5 hours

1 packet almonds

9:30am - 5.86km Run

1/3lb burger on a bed of mixed greens
topped with - pineapple, grilled onions, bacon & sweet bbq sauce

NOTES:

-I didn’t write in my notes when I ate my third packet of almonds, so I’m not sure if I ate it or not.  Will have to check my fridge at work tomorrow to see if it’s still sitting there.

-Met an old friend from grade school for dinner at the Counter tonight, so I just stuck to eating non-dairy non-bread stuff.  If you get their burgers on a bed of greens you can make a yummy salad!

-Before bed tonight I will take my fish oil and ZMA supplements.

11/30

Sleep - 6 hours

7:00am - CrossFit WOD

8:15am
2 cups pumpkin w/ stevia, cinnamon & nutmeg

10:15am
2 chicken sausages
1 packet almonds from Trader Joe’s

11:45am
1.5 cups pumpkin (would have eaten it all earlier, but ran out of time)

2:20pm
Homemade coleslaw (more about this below)
1 packet almonds from Trader Joe’s

Salad: 3-4oz sliced turkey, grape tomatoes, bag of baby greens, 1 tbsp olive oil

5:15pm

7:15pm
2 small chicken breasts, cooked in olive oil
Raspberry chipotle sauce drizzled on chicken breasts
1lb of brussel sprouts, braised & glazed in chicken stock and butter
(photo of dinner attached below)

NOTES:

-The coleslaw I made myself.  Cabbage, scallions, celery, carrots (just a little bit) and pecans in a mustard dressing (mustard, oil, vinegar).  I made enough to last the week.  My plan is to make different salads like this each week to keep it interesting while still being easy.

-The raspberry chipotle sauce was store bought and a little sugary.  I would only have it now and again as a treat, but I couldn’t resist trying it out.

-Before bed tonight I will take my fish oil and ZMA supplements.
