eeeking out a post

 

Trying to focus and motivate enough to write a post.  I still am not feeling too hot.  I have been running a fever most of the evening.  I did feel a little less nauseous during the day, probably because of all the diet ginger ale I drank.  I was able to get some food in me and some fluids.  Unfortunately I didn’t get to sleep during the day because I had too much work to do.  My headache has gotten better but it hasn’t gone away yet.  I am hoping I will feel better tomorrow so I can go into work!!

This morning I had a wasa cracker and a ton of diet ginger ale.  It helped sooth my stomach.

Lunch

I finally motivated to have lunch.  I had some All Natural New England Country Soup—Chicken Pomodoro.  It came in a little pouch.  It was pretty good.  Low in sodium and high in food chunks.  And all natural, which obviously made sick little me happy!

I had both servings.  I also had a frozen jello sugar-free pudding on the side.

PM Snack

Doesn’t it seem like I ate all day long???!

I made some wheatberries today (seeing I was home all day I had time.) so I put some cottage cheese, some wheat berries, some blueberries, cinnamon and all bran into a little cup.  Simply and good.

Then around 7, I had another wasa cracker and some grapes while I tried to think of what I wanted for dinner.

Justin made me a mug of diet hot chocolate when he got home

 

Dinner

I finally figured out what I wanted for dinner….kind of.  I still didn’t think anything sounded all that good but I knew I needed to eat, especially some protein.  Justin made some chicken for his dinner, so I had about 3.5 ounces of that, some of the wheat berries (with some Annie’s Light Cucumber Yogurt Dressing), 2 tomato slices and half a sweet potato with some ketchup (thanks to Eating Bender for this one!).

This plate is a small salad plate.

 

Okay, need to get more work done.  And try and find a cure to what ever illness I have!  And to get rid of this annoying headache.

Karma Sucks

I definitely didn’t sleep well last night.  The migraine kept getting worse and worse.  Finally at one point I got a cold compress to put on my head which I think worked.  I had night sweats all night long.  Talk about being a restless night!

I didn’t eat much yesterday because I simply felt so sick to my stomach.  I woke up this morning, and didn’t feel much better.  Still had a raging migraine and felt very sick to my stomach.  I went into work only to be sent home because no one else wants to run the risk this is actually contagious.  This is what happens when you ‘play sick’, karma comes back to get you and you actually get sick.  My stomach was doubling over with hunger pains this morning but I felt so nauseous too.  It was a really odd combination.  I made myself some toast because I figured that would be plain enough to eat.  It took me nearly 3 hours to get this down. 

Just halves of sandwich thin bread, almost 1T of natural PB on one slice and some cottage cheese, flax seed and 1T of sugar-free jelly on the other slice.  I really was trying to get some protein into my body seeing I feel so junky.

I stopped by the store on the way home and got some diet ginger ale and some soup.  Hopefully I can consume those later today.  Right now I don’t want to ingest anything, not even water.

I have a major meeting tomorrow, so I must work today.  And work a lot.  At least I can do it in some pj’s and under the covers.
