Intermission

I’m surfacing for just a moment to do a quick recap of the day, and then I’ll be back into the school/work/sleep abyss for the next 24 hours!

Breakfast was more cinnamon bun on flax-oat bran:

With 1/2 sliced apple and 1/3 cup yogurt for dipping, all dusted in cinnamon:

To hold me over until lunch, I had yogurt/ricotta with flax, pb2, banana, and strawberries (from Hunter’s lobby last night):

Lunch was more Thai coconut seafood curry, mixed with the veggies from Hunter’s lobby:

Veggies make everything prettier, don’t they?

I also had a spoonful of Belkis’ perfect perfect meat and rice:

And a salad composed of leftover salad bits from Mildred, Jessica, and yesterday’s mangu lunch. I topped the salad with some of the innards of the chicken, tomato, basil, and mozzarella sandwich piece Emily gave me in class last night:

I have an identical salad waiting for me in the fridge for tomorow 🙂

Later in the afternoon, I had an orange:

And another pb-chocolate-apple parfait:

I also opened up my first tin (as opposed to roll) of Newman’s Own Organics peppermints. They’re so cute — just like little Altoids:

I had a bunch during the day. I did not count.

When I got home this evening, I prepped food for tomorrow and then headed out for some exercise. I jogged for 25 minutes until the pain won out, and then I switched to walking for another 20. Somewhere in there, I did 10 reps of the inchworm exercise that Olga told me about.

When I arrived back at the apt, I had a serving of the same chocolate-pb-flax custard that’s in the parfait above with a couple little slices of banana, a sprinkling of unsweetened coconut, and a tsp of pb2:

OK, off to report for bed duty so I can wake up tomorrow and do it all again. Ahh, I can’t wait until this semester is over and the papers are behind me!

A non-mentally-taxing question for tonight: How many separate things did you eat today? According to this entry, I ate 10. That might be a record low!

    I’ve been blended yogurt with 1% cottage cheese (just as good as ricotta) lately, and it tastes similar to cheesecake – yum! I like your idea of adding ground flaxseed to the mix.

    I was wondering where you had disappeared too! Despite being in an abyss, you still manage to eat incredibly well.

    Lovely parfait!

    Your question IS taxing. Do you realise how often I eat? At least every 2-3 hours. So I can’t really answer this. My brain hurts thinking about it.

    I need to take a cue from you – and hit the books now!

    What a yummy day! Veggies definitely make things prettier!!

    I’ve tried those mints, and I really liked them. I offered some to a friend who, accustomed to bright white altoids, asked why they looked “dirty.” 🙂

    Oh, and I’m loving your banner!
