Home Sick

Breakfast: 9-10am

Some orange juice [not pictured] and scrambled eggs and potatoes from Whole Foods, after my doctor appointment. I also had some of that immunity stuff and then went to bed.

Mid-Day Eating: 2 or 3pm

I got up and had more immunity stuff, more orange juice, and this muffin that the apartment people gave me earlier in the day.

Evening Eating: 10pm

I had my standard breakfast food with a piece of string cheese and an extra piece of bread to make a sandwich. I also had more orange juice before going to bed for the evening. I was nervous that I wouldn't feel better the next day, but thankfully, I did.

I'm doing something new

And I need you guys to badger me. I NEED to start cooking because 1) I'm a good cook and 2) I eat every meal out and this needs to stop because I'm letting money flow through my fingers like water. So. I am striving to prepare 12 meals a week. This would be a huge improvement over now, where I prepare 0 meals a week. Ha. No, wait. That's not funny. Plus I have this kickass windowsill garden where I have access to fresh herbs, tomatoes, stawberries, and such. I have no excuses!

Be mean. Or stern. Or whatever. I just need to be better about my food.

I will attempt to be reporting this daily!!

Breakfast: 8 or something


Lunch: 11:15

I had about half of this salad and the circled bit of the flat bread. I meant to have the rest for a snack later, but then I left the box somewhere in the cafeteria. Did I mention that I was kind of out of it today? I was.

Snack: 3pm

A friend gave me two of these bars because he ordered a bunch and he was sick of them. It was pretty good. Nutrition Information Here.

Snack: 6pm

I needed some food before working out

Dinner: 8:30

I had some sockeye salmon and green beans (cooked from frozen, not canned). I was eating the fruit, which contained raspberries as well, up until about 11:30. When I bake things, I put a sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet, and all of the salmon skin stuck to the aluminum foil, so I threw it away.

Erica's food, 7/14/08.

Breakfast: Carnation Instant Breakfast, plain bagel + cream cheese.

Lunch: Left over Chinese, bean curd homestyle. Basically it was tofu stir fried with mini corn, snap peas, onion, green pepper, broccoli, and brown sauce. I mix it with rice. Diet Pepsi Max.

Dinner: More left over Chinese. I love that they give you so much food you can make it into 3 or 4 meals. Milk.

Snack: A handful of jalapeño Cheetos. This is a major weakness of mine.

Damn, now I'm hungry again.

Sorta More Normal

Breakfast: 7:30 or something


Lunch: 11 or maybe noon

I had three quarters of this pizza and about a third of this salad for lunch.

Snack: 3pm
Remainder of lunch

Dinner/Grazing: 8:30-9:30, I went to a Unitarian meeting tonight, so food was a little weird.

Fresh tomatoes from the host's parents' garden


A Mexican soda


I had about 5 of these, and a couple of apple slices with salt on them. I saw another person do that with the apples, tried it, and found it most satisfactory.


I had a cupcake at the end of the night.

I don't really remember everything I had

Breakfast: not really sure

Eating: 12-3 or 4

• A double flavored latte, not pictured
• Some heirloom tomatoes, not pictured
• 
  They actually had my favorite quesadilla at Whole Foods, smoked mozzarella with spinach. It looks rather greasy, probably not very good for me.
• Three boiled egg whites, not pictured

Dinner: I literally cannot remember what I ate. It might have been some sherbet or something?

And on the weekends

Breakfast: 7:30

After this, I went to bed and slept until about 2pm. Then I got up and worked out. I then went to run an errand and got some ice cream.

Snack/Grazing: 4-8

I got a child-size scoop from Baskin Robbins and took it home to photograph it.

I had some heirloom tomatoes that I didn't photograph.


Some sherbet.

I had a plum before I went out. I am not sure I have a photo.

When I was out, I had a Tokyo tea, a tequila sunrise, and a tequila shot, then I danced for 1-2 hours. When I got home, I had a bunch of cheese and water to prevent a hangover. Not very good, I need to learn what to eat after drinking.

Erica's food, 7/12/08, no pics.

Breakfast: Diet Pepsi Max.

Lunch: At some point I emerged from Knights of the Old Republic II to realize that I was starving to death, and microwaved 2 burritos.

Dinner: Mashed potatoes, teriyaki salmon, tilapia and a beer. The Hyvee sells these little frozen fillets for $1 each and they're pretty good.

Today was terrible, I know. The explanation is that I played video games all day and probably wouldn't even have eaten dinner had Justin not made it and set it in front of me.

No, I haven't forgotten

I just got really busy the last few days, and I'm still busy. I'm taking pictures, yes, just don't have time to post right now.

Breakfast: 7:30ish

A Hot Pocket, I know, not good, I know, I know, I know.

Lunch: Noonish
[no pic avaialble]
Spinach and romaine salad with egg whites, cherry tomatoes, and honey poppyseed dressing. Could it be that eating this healthy food made me feel better during the afternoon? I think so

Dinner/Grazing: 5 or 6 until like 9 or something

Sandwich purchased as mid-afternoon snack, with mustard, a slice of cheese, roasted red peppers, lettice, and some tuna salad.

I saw a woman had this juice when I made my Whole Foods run and needed it instantly.

Shrimps

The strawberries are no longer in season, but the heirloom tomatoes are, and just in time for me to want to eat little tomatoes again.

And to finish off the night with some olives.
