I think that all the food I have eaten in these past three months since I got home from Germany has finally converted itself into energy. Or something. I don’t know what.
I went to bed at 12:30. Took forever to fall asleep. Woke up at 2. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 6:30. Went for a run. I had so much energy…it was weird. Admittedly, my run was more of a walk–I was gone for 40 minutes or so, but I probably only ran for about 10 minutes of all that. I walked briskly though, when I wasn’t running. 10 minutes isn’t that bad for not running since June though (and even then I only went about twice.)
My run woke me up completely, and after showering and getting dressed, I decided to make pancakes for the sleeping L and E.
Mmmm I didn’t eat any though, since they were normal pancakes and not gluten free. Ah well. Actually, L and E didn’t eat any either. E, even though he’s a guy, apparently wasn’t hungry, and L doesn’t like to eat that sort of thing in the morning and wasn’t hungry either. She ate a banana. The pancakes got put in the freezer, but have no fear–I do believe that they will get eaten at some point.
For my breakfast, I had a bowl of yogourt mixed with grapes, dried apricots, craisins, chopped almonds, jee’s knees pbu (peanut butter, almond milk and honey all whizzed up together until thick and creamy) and cinnamon. It was quite delish. Definitely not enough calories, especially after not eating enough yesterday plus going for a run this morning but… that’s just the way it’s gonna work right now. I just can’t eat more. Well, stomach-wise, I could. But, psychologically, I can’t, if you know what I mean.
After brekkie, L and I headed out to do a million errands. We ended up getting a ton of stuff done, including booking Jee in for a hair appointment
[hair is getting freakishly long... starting to get the skater boy effect... ugh.]
at the Aveda Hair and Make Up Institute of Victoria for Thursday, but part way through our errands it became apparent that my run had done more than just wake me up. Apparently I somehow injured my left groin/inner thigh/hip flexor region. And the back of my left knee. It killed to walk and so I ended up limping around the city for the afternoon, and it’s just starting to feel a bit better after 2 advils and a hot pack application. I guess I shouldn’t jump right back into things too fast…
L wasn’t hungry all day and I really don’t like eating when no one else is eating, especially if it means that I will have consumed more calories than the other person, so I ate an apple around 3. I know. I should have eaten more. I had even packed some trail mix…
[one medjool date, one smushed up rice cracker, a few raw peanuts, a few raw cashews, 5 raw almonds, a few carob chips]
…in my purse because I knew that I should eat food during the day but.. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat anything other than the apple I had brought.
Anyways, we got back home around 6pm, and had dinner shortly after. Dinner for L was a piece of toast with pb and jam, cucumber, carrots, and dip. She later had a (fairly large) mug of sweetened chocolate almond milk, and two massive cookies I had made her earlier in the week (they’re around 280-ish each). Dinner for me was grated zucchini topped with salsa and cottage cheese, plus some baby carrots dipped in more salsa on the side and a peach. I also ate, periodically throughout the evening, some grapes, a couple of rice cakes, one with a wedge of Laughing Cow Lite, and my baggy of trail mix. Plus a couple spoonfuls of jee’s knee’s pbu. And some carob chips because I needed something sweet. I think I’ve made it to 1200. Erm… and why did I just detail to you all that I ate today and all that L ate today? I don’t know.
I found it hard to eat properly as I knew I was supposed to, when L didn’t truly eat until we had gotten home after all our errands.
Anyways, I should probably get some sleep now since I’m going to a bikram yoga class at 9:30 tomorrow morning, and have to leave here at quarter to nine. Although, if this morning is anything to judge by, I might have more than enough time to get ready in the morning.
Take care everyone
