Day 23
Feeling somewhat better today. Not 100%, but better.
Random gripe: I never feel like making dinner. I usually work until 6:00 and by the time I get home I'm wiped out. I also have this horrible need, born out of years of bringing home fast food or pizza, to eat right away when I get home. I have not found a food that I can eat immediately and then want to fix dinner (in fairness, I haven't tried much beyond peanuts so far). I'm seriously considering allowing my dinner rotation to continue to contain taco salads and takeout roasted chickens, so that I can just deal with the "need" to eat right away. Obviously it's not as much of a problem on weekends although I've been going out on Saturday and Sunday is a family dinner so maybe it is.
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 2 oz ham
Lunch: 4 sausage patties, 2 slices sharp cheddar, 1.5 oz Jif peanut butter, 8 oz V-8
The peanut butter was an impulse decision. A while ago I bought a package of individual cups. Probably good, because I could eat 1000 calories of peanut butter without batting an eye. One cup has 250 calories and it's about 3 good spoonfuls.
Dinner: Good portion of a rotisserie chicken, 1/2 grapefruit (later)
I had to go to the store to pick up some more grapefruit anyway so I decided to pick up a chicken. Good plan, thwarted by my going too late, they were out. Had to go elsewhere to pick one up. It was $2 more but at least it was good. I saved one of the breasts and a few ounces of stuff that I picked but otherwise demolished it. Didn't eat any of the skin, it wasn't crispy anyway. I need to roast my own chicken.
Trying to make more of an effort to eat fruits and vegetables. I know the results don't show it yet, but I am. I am definitely struggling with it because nothing is in season and I've never been a big fan of stuff shipped in from Mexico or beyond.
