Today has been a very stressful one for me. We are on day 23 at the hospital with the little one and it feels like we are going in a vicious circle. When will it end... unfortunately for me I am a stress eater so that was an even bigger challenge for me today than trying to keep my cool and not stress the kiddo's out. BUT... I feel like I did pretty good considering how many times today I craved chocolate and icecream.
Breakfast: Carnation instant breakfast with about 16 oz of skim milk and a banana.
Snack: Did not happen, it was a rough morning and as much as I wanted to snack on everything I could think of I resisted and stayed by my daughters side while she was having problems.
Lunch: Oven "fried" chicken and coleslaw from the cooking light section of the hospital cafeteria and some watermellon.
Snack: Jerky and one string cheese.
Dinner: About a third of a Machaca meal from a little hole in the wall mexican reastaraunt. I had no idea what I was getting when I ordered the lady did not describe it well at all. She said it was shredded beef with green peppers, onions, tomatoes and chili's cooked into it, it was actually shredded beef, green peppers, onions, chilis and scrambled eggs. It was very good but enough food for at least two people so I will probably have it again tomorrow.
So far I have not had a snack tonight, nor do I think I will. I am still pretty full from dinner. I did ok with the water today, about 30 oz. I also had a 16 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper. I am also working on another glass of water right now and am sure I will finish it and maybe part of another one before bed. I am feeling very thirsty tonight.
I love that you drink Carnation Instant breakfast too! HA! Maybe it's addictive?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking maybe I need to buy some. I don't think I've ever had it before? What is it?
DeleteIt's basically chocolate milk, but they boast that they have lots of vitamins and minerals and TWICE the protein of an egg. :P Or something like that. But it's yummy :)
