Calorie Countdown - Thursday Thread, what are you eating?

Hi ladies (and gentlemen lurkers?) - I hope all is well and that you are having a good day.  I am ok, but I had a long night.  I wretched my neck or something last night and couldn't turn my head.  I had an awful headache!  Tylenol did nothing so I brought out the liquid codeine from surgery.  Bleck! 

It worked ok, but I had some dreams that were 10 kinds of weird!  I was decorating a wedding cake on top of a donkey, and wearing jalepenos for shoes.  Now granted my feet are small, but I think jalepeno-sized shoes are a wee bit tiny.  I need at least a poblano.  The donkey walked down the aisle with the bride (is this because I think husband's are asses?) and then crashed the cake all over the priest.  And a dog ate one of my jalepenos, so I had to make a new shoe out of saran wrap and olive oil. 

Anyway, I slept until 11 in a drug-induced haze.  I don't remember codeine hitting me that hard after surgery.  My neck is better today, but I still have the headache and some tenderness when I turn my head. 

Food.  Harumph.  I still haven't gone to the grocery store but now I'm out of mootopia so things are getting serious.  I will go today.  I haven't eaten yet, but I think I want a salad from chick fil a.  I am nauseas from the codeine (that did happen after surgery!).  I also forgot how much it makes me itch!

Awww, drug induced dreams and itching, aren't they the best? Yucko, I've had some crazy dreams, but yours had me laughing so hard! Sorry!

Back to work, actually came in yesterday due to a payroll snafu that had to be fixed. I was tired last night, but slept well.

Pre B - SF NF Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte

B - ham, cheese, 3 RF triscuits

S - 1 package Mrs Maye's Cran-blueberry crunch

L - green bean chicken and mock fried rice leftovers, watermelon and honeydew

S - edemame

D - 1/2 turkey stuffed bell pepper, sliced tomatos

S - maybe Greek yogurt

I've been having a really tough time with graizing.  Not on "bad" stuff, but that doesn't matter... a calorie is a calorie whether it's cookies or cheese (of course there are health benies to the cheese hehe). 

ANYWAY... today has been tough... no "bad" carbs so far (another of the bad habits that has snuck in lately)...

B- 8 red grapes... 1 oz beef jerky... a few pcs of cantaloupe

S- 8 red grapes

L- 2 1/2 ounces steamed shrimp w/****tail sauce... NSA fudgsicle (hey, I can't give up EVERYthing in one day! LOL)

S- Not sure... maybe a string cheese

D- leftover crockpot chicken from last night... peas

S- Not sure... maybe nothing... maybe a cup of milk

I go through periods where I want to graze too.  I notice its usually when there is something going on in my life that is stressing me.  I try not to, and one thing that helps me is to have a cup of hot tea when I have the urge.  My current favorite is vanilla apricot white tea from Tazo.  Its subtley fruity and refreshing.  I find that a fruity tea works best because it gives you a food flavor without the food calories.  There are a lot of herbal fruity teas available too if you don't do caffeine.

Oh, you had me laughing so much.  sound like a shrek / crossed with a run-away bride movie with a little of pee-wee herman.

I had some of my liquid loratab after my carpal tunnel and I wake up with a loratab hangover.  The sleep is so good, but it's hard to come out of.

Today, I'm leaving work early because I have a ton of biology work to complete before Saturday morning as well as a research paper to edit and turn in before Sunday, so work is coming in second for me today.

B - twisted bar  15 g protein  190 cal
 
S - 1 oz beef jerky  15 g protein 70 cal

L - chicken tarragon salad / asian slaw    24 g protein (??? crazy calories because of mayo)

D - probably some type of salad with a protein

We are going downtown for a concert in the square tonight.  I hope there's a nice breeze off the bay because otherwise, it's going to be blistering hot.

My sister-in-law will be there and she's going to check over my biology tests that I've done before I have to turn them in on Saturday.  I can take notes while the concert is going on from the 4 chapters that I have left to do!  So nice to have people who are willing to help you do well

Did terrible on food Thursday, I felt like throwing up all day.  Not sure if it was the codeine or what.

B - none

L - 2 bites of Ryan's chicken sandwich, most of a side salad with light italian dressing

D - a few bites of tom yum soup, half of a spring roll, 5 or 6 bean sprouts

D attempt 2 - chocolate banana vivanno from starbucks, drank over about an hour so I wouldn't dump (it has protein at least, and wasn't very sweet)

S - some hard candy to try to settle stomach, I dumped off 2 jolly ranchers but not off of a chocolate banana protein shake???

It was one of those days were I was nauseaus all the time but just not quite nauseas enough to throw up.  I thought I might a few times, with the drooling thing and all, but it never happened.  I would have liked it to happen actually, just to get it over with!

The day started off OK, then I took my car to the shop and found out I need to have a couple of costly repairs done in the near future.  The car is otherwise in excellent shape, the things that need to be fixed are just due to old age, so getting the repairs done is cheaper than trying to buy a new car. Even so, ARGH!

I blew my good day by eating too many sugar free chocolate ice cream bars.  Since I was at the shop most of the day, I didn't get to the gym, either, so Lord knows the only calories I burned today were from stress.

I want some of that codeine!    On occasion, I have ridiculous dreams at night, and the dreams are so ridiculous that in the middle of the dream, I tell myself, "This is stupid!" and then I wake up. I do not get nauseous from codeine, it just keeps me from pooping for about a month no matter how many quarts of MOM I drink.

Here's hoping you feel better tomorrow!
