Not that you care but I just ate a spinach and beet salad from the Market of Choice, probably the cheapest of the fancy grocery stores in these parts. They have a good salad bar setup and I piled on the sunflower seeds and red beans and olives and even little chinese crunchies. When I got home I drizzled Russian dressing on it. I’ve had two water bottles, three cups of green tea, and two black. Oh, and breakfast was two eggs, scrambled and a banana. Not at the same time, that would be sick.
That was yesterday. My energy level is still low but I have my appetite back. I have been home eating all day. Let’s see if I can remember it all. Breakfast was at 5:00. I have this sourdough bread I like for toast and I put peanut butter on it instead of butter. An hour later I made a smoothie: 1 banana, 3 handfulls of frozen blueberries, juice from 1/2 lemon, 2 T ground flax seed, enough whole yogurt (plain) to make it milkshake consistency, maple syrup to taste.
I’ve been getting up at 4:00 am to see what the futures market is doing and to hear earnings reports dissected by the experts. I stay up long enough to see how the market opens, then back to bed for a couple more hours sleep. When I got up I put a baked potato in the oven and boiled celery root. Lunch was sliced celery root and half of a baked potato. An odd lunch, even for me.
I turned the market back on and tracked the ticker but soon fell asleep. When I woke up I wanted an apple. I keep those juicy, big organic red apples on hand. Then I checked all my stocks and bought some more Eli Lilly on the dip. They were down because they missed on some of their numbers but I like the big dividend and I believe it’s going higher.
I took another little cat nap around 4pm. I watch a political/financial show that always puts me to sleep and when I woke an hour later I ate the last of the Thai, which was a small bowl. Eat and sleep, what else are you gonna do in all this cold rain? Problem is I’m still hungry. I need protein.
PS I drank two water bottles, four different kinds of green tea, and two black.

Everything sounds yummy. And it was strangely interesting – I read the whole thing. I’m not hungry, but a good crunchy apple sounds lovely.
Rice krispies with a sliced banana and a splash of 2% milk for breakfast.
6 ritz cracker and peanut butter “sandwiches”, a wedge of swiss cheese and two home made oatmeal cookies for lunch.
A grilled chicken breast, baked potatoe and baked beans for dinner.
Coffee, coffee, coffee all day long
Coffee with a splash of whiskey in the evening
Mucho water
That’s it, at least that’s it for today.
(Wish I woulda bought more Intuitive Surgical last year!!)
wow on the liquid intake…
The weather does suck, doesn’t it?
Yes, you need protein. Beans and rice was my answer to that today, in my home made tortilla-less burrito. (The recipe has a tortilla, but we don’t bother, any more.) I need to get back to drinking more tea and water. You do pretty good on that. They’re getting our weather back East! (Maybe a bit warmer, but this is a NY April!)
