ugh. yucky day. got my period, ate lots of not-very-good food (chocolate-covered biscotti bites, mostly), then went to the theatre with my dad (which was awesome), but started feeling ibs-iffy during the show (a couple of bites of his gelato at dinner probably didn't help), which i *hate*, and hasn't happened in a while (feeling an attack coming in a theatre). made it through the show fine (with the help of some immodium), but it still feels lame. and now i'm all *hormonal* and *emotional*, and tired and crampy... and, obviously, very much in the mood to complain. planning on sticking to safe, carby, crunchy foods today - when i'm like this i crave textury foods, so i've got a tupperware of fruity pebbles to keep me going, and a spiru-tein shake, since it's so rich. (also staying off the new flax oil caps till i'm more settled - no need to add fat.) hopefully i'll have tonight free and make it to the gym. i'm so frustrated that this is coming right after thanksgiving - i'd really wanted to get back on track, but it just hurts more to fight against this. i figure i burn about 2100 calories in a day, so even my 'bad' days are under that, so i'm fine in the long run, but i want to get back to making progress. hopefully my mind'll clear in a day or two. but back to yesterday...
white spelt w/ jam (my new pre-work bit-of-breakfast plan - i like it)
1/2 c apple sauce
2 ff devil's food cookies (50cal ea, fyi)
5 biscotti bites
small bowl of spinach linguini w/ fake meatballs & tomato sauce
quaker take heart oatmeal w/ ff soy milk
3 biscotti bites
3 werther's
baked doritos
a few more biscotti bites (4? jesus. they had these out at work, and i just kept going back...)
small piece of bread w/ roasted pepper spread
pasta in white wine sauce (it came w/ veggies, too, but after all the junk i wasn't very hungry, so i only ate a few bites. i took the leftovers to bring home, but the box was leaking sauce so i had to throw it out. i *hate* wasting food.)
a few bites of caramel gelato (big mistake. and my dad was encouraging me to eat more of it - it's not at all his fault, but i wish he took my ibs more seriously, like my mom. but she knows more about it and heard more from me when it was bad, so.)
fruity pebbles w/ ff soy milk (when i got home around midnight i was *hungry*, so i ate.)
sigh.
