Accountability-Monday

Monday..and I'm really not feelin it at all..as a matter of fact, I'm starting to feel achey and have a head ache..bleh..I've been reading up on food allergies and I'm not sure the caffeinated drinks are causing the rash I've got but it is slightly better..Not completely gone and I've stayed away from the caffeinated stuff for over a week..I'm going to start back up with non-colored, non caffeinated stuff and see how it goes. I'm super tired of plain water and iced tea!

5:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

6:00 am 1/4 protein waffles, 1/2 medium apple, 1/2 serving sf pancake syrup

Yeah..not my finest..I know I could do better. But, trying to be positive, the carbs were good carbs, the protein was good protein, dense and low fat..

I really talked myself into staying at work today cuz I thought I could call in sick tomorrow until my boss came to my desk asking if I had therapy tomorrow..nope..well, great! We need to go over the checking account to get it ready to post into the new system..yikes. I don't know how in the world she reads my mind and knows when I really don't wanna be at work! But I'll get to bed early tonight and maybe call in late tomorrow but still be there for the account meeting in the afternoon..

How did you do?

what about fresh lemonade? what makes you think its the caffine? food allergies suck! i do recall when i was itching all over like a mad woman from the protein powder. i hope you find what it is soon b/c i know how crazy it can make you. Also, i know how much better you'll feel once you find & eliminate that source. Its like your whole being comes into balance. What about gluten - thats become a popular intolerant; or egg or soy? It has to be something that you eat every day - like something in your waffels??

im not drinking enough... water that is... lol
UGH well - its off to another fun & exciting day...
Have a good one :)

the rash seems to get better when i cut the caffeinated drink mixes out..even better when I cut the red colored ones out..I'm not sure. I hate to have to give up my caffeinated drinks..I have tree nut allergies and I'm really careful about those..the first thing I feel with those is a scratchy throat and then hives..then I know I'm in trouble! I do have celiac in the family tree so that's always an option but it doesn't get worse from the waffles (flour based)..or burritos (flour based tortillas)..just when I *sometimes* drink the drinks with caffeine..it might be the red color too cuz it doesn't seem to be as bad with orange color..I don't know. I'm stabbing at straws here..argh!

You did really good. Water is tough to get, it's a habit worth building..If you think of it as a habit, you can build up times when you just naturally reach for water..like driving, or walking, or sitting at your desk..in the kitchen..watching television..I get thirsty now when I start up the car!

Keep up the good work. See ya.
