It all evens out!

After yesterday's (perfectly OK) sugar-fest, my body KNEW it needed protein, veggies and healthy fats and it let me know about it, loud and clear. I am really proud of myself for having gotten to the point where I honestly don't freak out over certain days being more nutritiously dense than others. Today was an excellently healthy day. Yay for nutrients!

I woke up craving veggies, so I made an omelet with zucchini and part of a purple onion which I sauteed in olive oil.

Topped with full fat cheddar cheese:

With coffee.

Slathered in organic salsa for some extra veggies. (Lycopene, anyone?)


After teaching a lesson, I got a massage! Then I came home to teach another lesson, after which I grabbed this very quickly. It's from the salad bar at Whole Foods:

Chick peas with feta, red peppers, onion, and parsley. So good!

And I grabbed a peach for the car:

Then I taught again, this time at a student's house, and stopped by the pharmacy on my way home to try and get the antibiotic, but it turns out my doctor's office never called them, even though *I* called this morning to make sure they were going to do that. Argh.

Oh well; at least I came home to a delectable dinner! I made a huge salad!


This included:

-spinach
-tomato
-sauteed cabbage/onions
-avocado
-last of the turkey lunch meat
-tofu soaked in Ken's Asian dressing

And for "dessert" I had these sweet potato fries with organic ketchup:

Now I'm full and my boyfriend is coming over to hang out on a rare free Thursday evening!

Some days are just three cookie kind of days!

Hah! And I should add "plus chocolate chip banana loaf" and "mini black and white cookie" and "cinnamon coffee cake" to my title, but it would have been too long. ;-)

In all seriousness, today was a crappy day. And I know I caved sweets more than normal, both because of the frustrating day but also because that's what my body wanted. And I can honestly say that I'm proud of myself for EATING what I wanted and not worrying that it was A LOT of carbs and not exactly nutritionally dense. I don't do that all the time, but it was definitely in order today. (Also I can honestly say it WASN'T a binge, because I've done that in the past many times but I'm finally truly over that). Additionally, I didn't end up going for a workout because I started to feel really hungry right when I was going to leave and I hate working out when I'm hungry. (I did that for LONG ENOUGH, thank you!)

So anyway, a quick recap of my eats. Get ready for one of my least nutritious days in a long time:

After my healthy breakfast, I got hungry for more real food. So I made a sandwich similar to the one from yesterday. One of my roommates got home as I was making it, so I'm using a recycled photo. The only difference is that I added cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce to it.


Then my sweet tooth struck!


This was about half of a chocolate banana loaf from Starbucks! One of my favorite things! So delicious!

And a mini home made black and white cookie:

And then I left the house and had over the course of the next several hours, while driving to and from gigs and teaching, *3* Kashi dark chocolate oatmeal cookies. *drools*


And finally, I had a teensy bite of a cinnamon coffee cake.

(This was the full amount I had).

Additionally, yesterday night I had 2 glasses of this red wine, and I'll be having another one shortly here:


And in good news, my doctor said they can forward over the antibiotic prescription to my pharmacy tomorrow so that I can start those for my finger, which should help. But I thought when you take an antibiotic, it should have gotten rid of the entire virus from my system! Why did it come back?!?! Well, it'll get better tomorrow, when I can start the next round of antibiotics!

Well, I think I'm playing Scrabble with my bf and drinking red wine tonight. I hope you're all having a great evening!
