We’ll call it a wash. January 26, 2009
Today was both good and not good. I ate well, and kind of exercised. Failed miserably on my TV goal, and didn’t get in any strength training. In all fairness, I actually had to come home early because I was feeling so gosh darned crappy. And, I haven’t really watched much TV- it’s been on in the background while I was realtively comatose on the couch.
Breakfast was peanut butter toast, some milk, and a yogurt.
I snacked on some veggies and ranch and a handful of blackberries. I’m actually really proud of this. Yesterday I made a bold move at Costco and bought a bag of sweet mini peppers. I don’t like peppers. Well, to be correct, in my head, I don’t like peppers. They taste just fine. So, I got them, and ate them. It’s hard, because even though I enjoy the tatse something in my head is going “ACK! Spit it out!!” But, I ate them and broadened my horizons. Woot! Same thing with the blackberries. In my head I don’t like them. In real life, the seeds drive me nuts. But, one of my coworkers told me to just not bite down when you chew and they won’t be a problem. It’s a bit odd- I do feel like I’m gumming my food- but they taste good and I get around the seeds. 
Lunch was alright. I made a roasted garlic and cauliflower soup (after having some that was DELISH) but my version was pretty meh. Also had a baked potato with broccoli and light sour cream, a side salad, and some melon.
For dinner, I had some roast chicken and veggies. Luckily, I had thought to crockpot both. The chicken was AMAZING! and super easy. The veggies- eh. Just wasn’t feeling them tonight so I had another baked potato
Also had my standard mini nilla wafers and some milk for dessert.
Actually wish I could have gone to the gym tonight. But, as it is, I just want to find a warm hole to crawl into and die. Here’s hoping tomorrow feels better…
Man, I hope you feel better soon! It’s really tough to stick to any eating plan when you feel like yuck, and I’m delighted that you can! That’s awesome…though it means that the next time I’m sick I can’t allow myself to pig out as usual because I know that it’s possible to eat well _and_ be ill! Drat!
For really ripe blackberries I smash them against the back of my upper front teeth with my tongue to explode them, and that way the seeds aren’t a problem. But I rather like the seeds in berries…and grapes…a little extra crunch is nice, to my mind!
I hope you feel better too. There is a bug going around and you probably got it.
Good job on the eating. I cannot eat the blackberries either cause of the seeds but I so love blueberries.
Get better
Hi there! Glad to see you back. Let’s kick some butt.
