So exhausted from doing NOTHING yesterday, I went to bed forgetting to journal and commit my food for today. Standing in front of the refrigerator this morning I didn't like the way I felt - unorganized, unprepared, having to make a decision about what to make for breakfast. Luckily the left over veggies from the pot roast were right in front so the potatoes were easy to grab for my 'grain' and eggs over easy are always - well - easy!
Today's food (10oz veg lunch and dinner)
- b: red potatoes, eggs over easy, banana & green grapes
- l: chopped salad, beans & seeds, bleu cheese dressing, apple
- d: meatball soup w/ lots of spinach
Why I didn't do any food prep yesterday is a mystery. I was sort of frozen, which hasn't happened in a while, and I spent way too much time in front of the TV and computer. And it was an absolutely gorgeous day outside, what a waste! But no beating up on myself, until I broke out the peanut butter toast after lunch I had been bright for longer than usual. Maybe I just needed a bunny slipper day but didn't realize it. My Bad.
There is lots to do today, including straightening out the garage to make a place to listen to records. Alanna has a friend coming over Friday and they need a spot to hang out. Finally the boxes and boxes and boxes of records will come in handy! I hope they find something to listen to that they love. Thank you Jimmy <3
I even forgot my gratitude journal yesterday, what the heck? I guess I need an emergency action plan for when I wake up in a funk. And I know what it was, it was the pain in my legs. Worse instead of better as expected, and too stubborn to take pills. If I had just taken the pills and gone outside the day would have gone much better. Note to self, get over yourself!!
Funky morning?
1. self assessment - what's wrong, take steps to remedy the situation
2. get outside, even if it's just sitting in the back yard for a few minutes
3. make sure your food is prepped and in order
4. use the paper journal to figure it out and move forward
Okay, off to get back on track. Back later to commit tomorrow's food.
Tomorrow's food (10oz veg lunch and dinner)
- b: hashbrowns, scrambled egg, cheese, salsa, banana & grapes
- l: homemade cauliflower crust pizza, pears & blueberries
- d: green chili corn, beans, cream cheese
Bright all day, dinner was a little heavy on veg but delicious, and I'm feeling a little hungry tonight. We just watched the British Baking Show - food porn- and we'll see how it goes. If I don't get through the night Bright I may have to not watch this season 😞
I'm really looking forward to making lunch tomorrow. Cal has school so I can come home and concentrate on getting the measurements right and pre-cook the crust. I'm planning on artichoke hearts, spinach, red onion and grape tomatoes for the veg on top and a nice sprinkling of red chili pepper flakes. My brain may be a bit too lit for this, but oh well.
I got a lot done today, making a nice dent in the garage. I also did lots of climbing at the park with Cal, thinned out some toys from the living room, and did the dishes that were left over from the weekend - I wasn't the only one slacking off for some R&R.
I've just reviewed my gratitude list before bed, and I'm looking forward to waking up Bright. I found a couple of tops I would like to fit into this winter, so I am hoping that is not triggering for me. I know why feeling or looking thinner is still a challenge, but I'm ready to do the work to get past that. A topic for another day, I'm beat!
