Food Diary September 17th, 2016

Today I woke up not as tired as I was yesterday (yes!). I got up and made a green smoothie with three handfuls of spinach, one half cup of frozen mango and strawberry and two bananas and one tbsp of flaxseed. I cooked a pot of oatmeal and added 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, and a dash of sea salt. I cooked one egg over grapeseed oil and ate it with the oatmeal. I took a probiotic and drank some water. I took viatmin D and C.

I did the dishes and waited around before my relatives came and picked me up to spend the day with them at their house. I brought two bananas with me just in case I got hungry while I was visiting. On the way to their house we stopped by Sonic and I got a large green tea. While I was at their house, I ate my bananas and shared one with my younger niece. I also ate some pickles with "rib rub" seasoning (hope it didn't have MSG) with my older niece and had a small cup of walnuts. For dinner they had Taco Cabana and I ate a can of spinach from their pantry, with their permission of course lol. I came home around 8ish and ate a bowl of rice and lentils from leftovers and cooked up a new batch of white rice and red lentils soon after for tomorrow. Now I am laying in bed relaxing. I hope tomorrow I feel well. My joints feel kind of achy tonight but nothing major. I wonder if it is from the chili pepper I had in a bean soup I ate last weekend, as nightshades aggravate joint pain. D:

Just more reason to watch what goes into my mouth! I'm getting better at it, though. I know now to never leave home without breakfast, because then you will just gorge on something unhealthy/inflammatory and have to pay the price the next day/week.

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend!

On depression and losing the magic you once had.

  As I reflect and look back on the last couple of years of my life, I feel nothing but pain and brief moments of nostalgia longing to have the small joys I used to experience back then. I am grieved to look back and then at who I am today and realize how far I have fallen from who I used to be. The happy, full of life version of me. Granted, I was never a real happy go lucky kind of person, but I certainly was not as dark and depressed as this. There was 2018, when I wanted to find someone special. I started praying to God asking Him to send me someone I could connect with because I felt so lonely. Not just lonely, but a deep ache inside I can only describe as a vacuum of sorts. I had legit frost-bite like pains in the upper left quadrant of my chest. It felt like something was terribly missing. I actually found out in emotional pain mapping that area represents longing for a male figure. I would cry out to God for a friend who I could feel connected to. I was faced with the fact that

  Even broken crayons still color too. I let myself sleep in again today. I got up around 10am and fed my cat Teddy and made two cups of coffee and tea and microwaved some oatmeal. I had a cup of Chobani Greek strawberry and banana yogurt to go with the oatmeal. I went for a quick walk and got ready for work.  Work was more busy than yesterday. It is my 2nd day as chat operator and there were a lot of customers who needed help. I had like 4 chats open at one time and started feeling frazzled because I have to code each customer interaction and I kept losing my place because new chats kept coming in. It made the day go by quicker though! My IBS was acting up today. I had to keep running to the restroom. I am thinking it is from stress. I went on a walk at lunch time and that was nice. I have really been enjoying the changing weather. It feels so nice outside. I am not used to not sweating my guts out when I stand under the sun. 🤣  I sent an email to my former boss at my previous job. I
