10:30pm
Fruit salad (pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe)
Fish oil
NOTE: Not much food today. Got food poisoning or flu or something starting at midnight last night. Was convinced I was going to barf for all of last night and most of today. Lots of stomach cramps, burping, achey joints/muscles, fever, etc. Miserable. Feeling better, but no interest in food.
NOTE: My vacation mellowness apparently reached such levels today as to not bother feeding myself. Thank goodness for Frankie coming over for the fights and bringing all her Paleo yumminess or I might just have gone to sleep hungry and lazy.

NOTE: Today was crazy due to travel. Planned to eat a real breakfast at the airport and arrived to discover my tickets had been canceled (Thank you brilliant minds at American Airlines!), so next thing I knew they were putting me on a flight that was already boarding and it was sprint-PDX time. Thankfully I am a food hoarder and had a bag of jerky in my carry on already.
**Weighed myself this morning, 1/1/11, and I weigh 140lbs. That means I actually did lose 2lbs this past week. I weighed #142 when I started this darn food plan and it didn’t budge for a month. So, phew! I feel great at 138# typically, but need to be 134# for the rowing competition on 1/29. 6# to go! I’m gonna look all sucked up, but I’m sure I can eat my way back to 138# pretty easily afterward.
Used up the last of my 3 “off” days today. Figured this way I could enjoy a full day. Tomorrow I’ll be driving…somewhere…don’t know where still…and Friday I fly back to LA.

NOTE: Didn’t even realize I hadn’t eaten for most of the day. Part of it was the times of the workouts and not wanting to eat before I workout. Part of it is trying to not spend a fortune on food while I’m here. And part of it was that it was a roller coaster day of reminiscing, seeing an old friend, meeting and connecting with a total stranger, meeting new friends in old places full of memories, etc…food apparently became secondary.

NOTE: This was my first of three “off” days I get from my food plan while I’m in Oregon. I can put them on any day I want. I was torn about having Christmas be an off day actually, because everything is closed, but it still worked out alright. Probably better this way! Not sure when off day #2 will be…pretty sure the #3 day will be when I make it out to Tillamook. CHEESE!
