I want to take my stomach, put it in a box, tie it with a bow and give it to someone I don’t like.  Today is a stomach-hating day.  We’ve been fighting for the entire day and quite frankly, I’m perturbed.

Now that we’ve established I’m in a bad mood, let’s start at the very beginning.  A lady who frolics in vast meadows once said that’s a very good place to start.  I think it was her, anyway.

I was out the door at 5:45 this morning for a 6.5 km run.  It was great – except I almost saw a falcon eat baby ducklings.  I did a quick scan of the path for giant rocks I could hurl at the beast, but found nothing.  The babies got away and all was well – no injuries.

I fuelled up with this nan, sans peel.

Once I got to work, I drank a sea monkey smoothie.

Half a frozen nan + half frozen mango + 3/4 c. water + 1/4 c. plain non-fat yogurt + 1 scoop Amazing Grass.  This thing kept me going for quite awhile!  I was actually surprised how full I stayed.

Lunch was overnight oats.  I know, I know, kind of sad and yet… one of the best lunches I’ve had in awhile!  I still prefer oats at breakfast but when you don’t feel like thinking when packing your lunch, oats always work.

Overnight in the fridge I put 1/2 c. oats + 1/2 c. plain non-fat yogurt + handful blueberries, blackberries + cinnamon + agave syrup.  I added 1/4 c. almond milk after this photo, the next morning.

And I had some baby carrots + an egg in the afternoon.

After a zooey day at work I snacked on this Nuts Over Chocolate Luna bar and experienced heaven for the 3 minutes it took me to eat this thing.  Very, very good.

And I ate a whole whack of carrots + cherry tomatoes + t-mix.

Supper was random.  I thawed out a hunk of pork tenderloin I had bbq’d ages ago and sautéed some zucchini and mixed frozen veggies, tossing in some sesame oil + ginger.  With rice pasta + spinach, I give this supper two thumbs and one index finger up.

Dessert – fruit with a blob of yo-ghurt.

Later in the evening, my tummy and I battled again and to tame the beast, I had a piece of gf cinnamon raisin toast + tea.

 

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for work-related stuff, so I have a couple more things to do and then I’m off to bed.  Here’s to hoping that the next time I post, I’m a much happier girl… for the sake of anyone reading this blog.
