SB, Day 10

Breakfast: 1 small 100% whole wheat bagel, 2 tsp whipped butter, 1 wedge laughing cow cheese, cinnamon tea

Morning snack: 1 red pear

Lunch: Chicken teriyaki and lettuce salad-- Tried a new place, not good this time, didn't eat much. Won't go there again.

Afternoon snack: 6 hershey's kisses

Dinner: 1 mixed greens salad with dried cranberries, feta cheese, and a bit of basalmic vinagrette dressing.

Dessert: plain yogurt mixed with vanilla extract and agave nectar.

Stuff
I felt like I was really off target yesterday, but it's nice to see that it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. I did get a migraine starting halfway through the day, but I took my vitamins and my magnesium and some pain meds, and it went away. I've got to start planning, better, though, and I've REALLY got to start bringing an afternoon snack at the very least. Oh, and I've got to work more veggies and protein -- getting to have cereal in the morning again is convenient, but I think my diet is suffering for it.

Also, having the boys here is just killing my time to plan or do anything. I get two hours a day in which I'm exhausted but alone to focus, if that -- last night Al was coughing and couldn't sleep, so even that didn't happen. Normally I've got weekends to recharge, but David was out of town last weekend, so no such timing. And classes start on Thursday. And I've had boy things happen every day after school this week, so we haven't gotten home before 8 PM for any of it. I'm just really tired and needing a bit of space, something where I don't have to have Cartoon Network or Super Paper Mario going five feet away as I'm trying to concentrate on work.

Well, crap.

Al got out the door (and onto the bus, amazingly enough) without his meds. And he didn't sleep much last night. Argh.

It won't really hurt him to not have them, but I won't be surprised if I get a call from school today. Crap.

SB, Day 11

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices canadian bacon, 1 split 100% whole wheat English muffin, 1 tomato, sliced and grilled.

Morning snack: Cinnamon tea.

Lunch: Turkey and provolone unwich again.

Afternoon snack: Did I mention my migraine was trying to come back? 1 chocolate chip cookie (med), 3 hershey's kisses, 5 Oberto cocktail sausage bites, 5 triscuits. Not all at once. Could have been worse.

Dinner: Spinach salad with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, herbed cheese from Beechers, and a little olive oil and white wine vinegar for dressing. Would have been good with the raspberries I got at the store, but that's okay.

Dessert: 1/2 cup Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia (single serving cup).

Stuff

So today kinda sucked. It started out okay, but about halfway through the day the otherside of my brain decided it needed to catch up with yesterday's side of the brain and have a migraine too. It was primarily an ocular one, so between the vitamin, magnesium pill, and some ibuprofen, we kept it from erupting into a fullblown nightmare. It stayed with me all day, though, and so did the cravings that go along with my body being in pain. Can I just say, though, that it could have been so, so, so much worse.

No idea how my weight is going right now. I'll know more on Friday when I weigh myself again. I suspect there's no change this week and/or I had a slight gain. I've been hugely busy, needed to go to the grocery store, and just generally all schedule disrupted. If I did, though, I'm not going to worry about it. I just need to keep on doing what I'm doing and not backslide. It'll work out if I'm persistant. Still didn't have a coke today. Yay me.

School tomorrow. So much stuff to do and plan and freak out about. Think good thoughts for me.
