Now, I'd planned to not follow the diet on Thanksgiving, but what I didn't plan for was to continue not following it since then. It seems that every day after I "must" have a piece of candy, or something breaded, or the Saturday event where I drank three sodas (two had alcohol added, one did not). I don't actually think I could have stayed as ( Read more... )

I can't remember everything I ate yesterday. I know I polished off the last of a roasted chickpea snack in the wee hours of the night (what I consider Saturday night, even though it was technically Sunday morning). I like that my little produce delivery service has a few snacks I can eat ( Read more... )

Sometimes I do things and even I don't know why.

Thursday, Day 10 of 30 in my diet: Went to my volunteer place, did stuff fairly as normal mostly sitting and making up cottons & cookers bags until the arthritis said "no". Sometimes I push for 100, which is probably twice what I should really do in one sitting. But I wasn't pushing this time, ( Read more... )

Well, so much for feeling better, but it was a good run I suppose.

Yesterday, Day 8

BREAKFAST: I had a taco, because there was plenty leftover (as well as plenty of rice & beans) and took my meds. But then my stomach started to hurt, and weirdly I felt dizzy, sick, my ears started ringing. I couldn't decide if it was my blood sugar, low from ( Read more... )

First paragraph from previous post:

DIET UPDATE (2100): A friend called me up and asked if I wanted to go to a Spanish restaurant and see some flamenco dancers. Sounded like a reasonable idea, after checking my calendar and ensuring I had a day to recuperate, so I popped the necessary painkiller (I would find I needed a second one, even with the ( Read more... )

Posting for yesterday (Saturday) and what I plan to do today. I didn't do any exercise, or much of anything besides loaf on the couch and play video games, because I spent the day with the edges of a headache (sometimes more than that) and when I moved around it made my brain slosh against my skull. The headache seems linked to the weather and my ( Read more... )

Got up early before my alarm because I was having night sweats again. Took a shower, drank some water. Finished doing the dishes and straightening stuff before the maid came, and also fixed myself a cup of coffee (with a splash of soy milk).BREAKFAST: She was late today, and I didn't want to start cooking and have her show up while the kitchen ( Read more... )

I'm writing this as best I can for yesterday, but of course I can't remember exactly what I ate and drank.BREAKFAST: I put on some kind of tea in the morning, I think it was a black tea. And I think for brunch I finished off the remaining pasta of "day zero". It's a whole grain semolina, with chick peas, bell peppers, etc. in tomato sauce ( Read more... )

BREAKFAST: I cooked up some quinoa, flavored with just a touch of chicken broth (mostly just water), and a handful of greens/spinach thrown in toward the end. It ended up being not quite flavorful enough for me, so I had to add a splash of (organic) soy sauce. Still, not too bad ( Read more... )
