oh gosh i've been hungry today!

after weeks of next to no nutrition, it seems my body is screaming for sustenance. tim mentioned chicken at cell last night, so i got gutsy and took out some to thaw when i got home last night...

so, today i ate, with increasing momentum:

breakfast: i think a banana. hot fruit juice. (morning's a bit foggy for me, lol)

lunch: i think it was an ensure.... and hot fruit juice (may be my new 'coffee'!)

snack1: instant rice with garlic and melted peanut butter (yumm...). hot fruit juice.

dinner: two roast chicken drumsticks in my own marinate/cooking sauce, and broccoli/asparagus/(regular) rice soup. prolly some juice.

dinner2: grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich. prolly some juice.

dessert: ensure.

snack2: noodles. fruit juice.

snack3: leftover soup with the meat from 3 drumsticks (which was tomorrow's lunch!)

... and now i finally feel like i've eaten, lol!

ok, i am NOT - i repeat NOT - going to be eating like this every day... are you kidding? i don't want to gain the weight i've so unhealthily lost while i've been sick, lol. i will definitely be replacing the white starchy crap i've been living off of with the multigrain etc varieties that i usually go for.... but not too fast. don't want to shock my system.... so i hope to be off the starchy stuff in about a week....

...today is the first day i had *regular* rice instead of instant, so that's an upward trend... when i run out of that, i'll replace it with brown rice. same with the noodles... you can use whole wheat/grain spaghettini in place of noodles in many dishes... etc, etc, etc.

one thing i think i *will* keep is bread (whole wheat or multigrain of course)... you can't exactly grill a peanut butter and banana sandwich with a tortilla wrap.... well i guess you could, but you know what i mean!!!!... besides, i love baking bread, it would give me an excuse to do that, fortified and nutrified with onions or milk or herbs etc as i please.... and no preservatives. yum!

so YAY, it seems i can eat again without much (i hope!) gastric distress to follow (we shall see how the night fares...) so far today, i've had hardly any cramping. ...every day, better and better! thank You, Lord, for antibiotics! lol

btw, i'm gonna see if i can squeak ball class into my finances... if so, i'll start next week. i hope. i plan to. i will, darn it! so far as i can tell. ha....

now, must go to bed. g'nite, all.
