Day 10: Clusterfuck? Or general fail?

Sins 
-awake at night, sleep all day (was energized)
-three packs of mini chips ahoy cookies
-chocolate milk to quench fire from ESM leftovers
-sloth & self-pity & sadness kinda day (after woke from my sleep at 5:00 pm-ish)

Redemption
-apple
-lots of water
-peanut butter spoonfuls, spread out through the day
-1/2 purple of raspberries

Neutral
-leftovers from Scaddabush had no repercussions so far
-tried to eat spicy ESM leftovers and even added plain bowties & stirred = still too hot and Shane agreed
-half deluxe mini pizza

A canker sore appeared on my top lip sometime while I was awake last night - didn't notice it until morning. Ouch!

Also, am tired & ready for bed.

Day 9: Revenge of Scaddabush.

Okay, it's really not fair to blame the restaurant.  I swear I'll have to go there sometime & try the exact same meal again, when my overall diet has been better in general.

But it's easier to blame the mojito & buttery garlic bread for what I endured this afternoon.  I will spare you the gory details of my near death. ;) (cue melodramatic music here)

I didn't have a decent breakfast in any way, shape, or form.  Zesty doritos in a small bowl with water.

Late lunch was an apple, a 6 saltines (as my tummy was still feeling craptacular after it's drama), and a few malteasers.

Dinner was italian wedding soup, a coke, and some firecracker bowties with chicken (not shrimp) at my clinic's celebration dinner at ESM.  It was really hot, so I barely ate any.  I also had 1-2 pieces of bread with butter to quench the fire.

I came home & a couple of hours later ate: a very small bit of the rest of the veggie fried rice, half a mini deluxe pillsbury pizza, some chips, water & a glass of pink lemonade.

Exercise: was minimal.  Partly due to sore muscles (which are much better than yesterday), and partly due to tummy.  Even drove to J's school for pickup due to lack of trust in tummy.

I am actually writing this at 3:33 Am on Wednesday, and am currently experiencing heart burn.  Yuck!

Back on track tomorrow.  Please get me back on track.

Day 8: Did not go great.

I was up in the night.  I ate two bowls of veggie fried rice.

I ate some chips.  May or may not have had a coke?

I had some other junk I think in the day.

I had a nutrigrain bar and/or a granola bar - definitely had the granola bar, not sure about the other.

I had some water.

Had dinner out with Yvonne.  We got the same meal - the small Pesto Pollo Fettuccine (chicken, spinach, tomatoes & basil pesto cream sauce) and shared a classico charity bread with lots of garlic butter.  I also had a mojito.  It was such a delicious meal, and I have enough leftovers of the fettuccine.

May have eaten when I came home later.  Chips?  Something else?  It was only yesterday night, but who knows?

Exercise: as little as possible, due to sore legs (quads especially).

Day 7: Race Day #2

Ate about 1/2 a piece of pizza before the race. 

Had two gels during the race.

Had chocolate milk immediately after the race.

Had 2 half pieces of pizza & chips & can of wild cherry pepsi about 1 to 1 1/2 or so hours after the race.

Had chinese food at home.  Chicken Lo Mein, Veggie Fried Rice, Shanghai Noodles and One Chicken Ball.  With can of Sprite.

Exercise = ran 21.1 km in 3:24:18

Day 6: Race Day #1

I ate pasta with butter & salt for breakfast, my own custom blend of mixed noodles; sundried tomato spaghettini, spinach fettuccine, multigrain spaghetti & regular spaghetti.

Lunch was late, eaten after the race (approx. 8:30) at Mc Donalds.  Shared a 10 pc nugget meal & fries with Shane.  Drank Coke.

Dinner was a multigrain crust pizza with bacon, mushrooms & pineapple.  Ate 2 smaller pieces and had an apple.

Exercise was arguing with Jeremy about whether he was or was not doing the race, and walking for 1 hour, 12 minutes & 5 seconds.

Day 5: Another Disaster

Ate a nutrigrain bar before leaving to pick up the race kits.

Brought my salad out with me, did not eat it.  Was in a rush to get to hospital to visit, and grabbed a small bowl of chips & wild cherry pepsi instead.

The 3 pre-bedtime prunes I ate last night had their revenge.

Ate lunch too late that it kinda became dinner.

It was fish & chips with lots of malt vinegar & some salt. 

Not much exercise.  Tried to pay more attention to my fitbit, and took my hourly steps a couple of times.
