Looks like it was the larabars : (
Day 3 of no larabars for breakfast and guess what? Not a stomachache in sight! Shocking and sad : ( I guess they were too dense for me or something, but so far this week I've been throwing a banana into my cream of wheat in the morning and I've felt great. Also the last two days I've drank a cup of Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuchino with Whey Protein. It's about 180 calories per cup, putting me at around 400 calories at breakfast.
The nutrition content is very, very nice for a cup of coffee, though, and it tastes delicious- it boasts 150% each of vitamin C, B6 and B12, 45% calcium (which I desperately need) and 20% each vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and potassium (well, 19% there... plus a banana!). And, as the name indicates, it's got protein- 10 grams per cup.
I'm not a coffee drinker, but the last two mornings I've been depserately tired (son is requiring that he be allowed to sleep sideways on me all night with me literally holding his head up- meaning even when I doze off I NEVER fully relax) and needed caffeine. This has helped me make it to about 3 pm before I start to doze off on my feet : P
Otherwise, my eating wasn't perfect yesterday. I treated myself to several nacho cheese doritos- but without soda they weren't anywhere near as appealing as they used be and I ate around a small bags worth and was done. I also did not break into the bag this morning, instead I got my breakfast and was happy with it. I still haven't touched those chips. Go me!
I don't have a snack planned but I don't feel hungry right now. I am debating on what lunch should be- I have some pot roast I made last night that I could eat, or I could break it up and make nachos on corn chips, or I could pull out my last boneless skinless chicken breast and cook it up and make nachos with that.
I would really like veggie tacos but I haven't had the time to make them in weeks : ( it makes me sad. cooking for everyone else at night gives me no time for extras, and during lunch time I don't have anyone to help me with the boys so there's not a whole lot of prep time. I can usually prepare one item and throw it in a skillet before I have to get the baby and hold him.
Dinner is also up in the air. I was going to make BLTs since it will just be the two of us eating (me and my boyfriend) but we don't have any regular bread, and I hate white-bread buns.
Hmm. Oh well. We'll see.
Off for a shower! I hope ya'll are doing well. I will leave comments as soon as I can ; )
