The (Necessary) Quest for Food with Some Nutrition
I don’t know what happened yesterday but I made bizarrely bad food choices. Not on purpose. I mean, I knew what I was doing and just figured it would be okay, but I subconsciously knew better. If that makes sense. For lunch I had an H&H bagel with cream cheese, then I ate part of a pumpkin muffin, and then I ate a fun size sugary gummy candy. Um, yeah, I was shaking after walking Pepper and there was no way I was able to make it to running group. Actually, I ran into a friend on our walk and had a surreal out of body experience/thought I might pass out while we were talking. So, instead of running I made myself a nutrient-packed whole wheat burrito (sweet potato, brown rice, cheese) and sat myself on the couch to eat it and then rest until I stopped shaking. Yikes.
Trying to do better today and actually put some thought into what I eat. It’s hard. I just want to eat, feel full, and get on with my day. I clearly need to work on this. Logically, I need to realize that I can’t eat and get on with my day if I just eat something quick and cheap that will leave me feeling depleted later on. Today’s breakfast was a whole wheat burrito with an egg, brown rice, and cheese. Easy and cheap, but it did take some planning on my part, and clearly that’s a struggle for me…Again, yikes.
