11/10/2019 and 12/10/2019 HM

I've been having computer problems, here are the past two days:

Today I ate:
2 slices GF toast with almond butter
1 protein bar
1 serving plain popcorn
1 square dark chocolate
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 serving vegetable stirfry (celery, peas, peppers)

Today I drank:
2 cups peppermint tea
1 glass water

----
Again, I'm noticing lots of repeat foods. And lack of water, haha.
----

Today I ate:
2 slices GF toast with almond butter
1 serving plain popcorn
1 serving vegetable soup
1 serving hashbrowns
2 slices GF banana bread

Today I drank:
4 glasses of water
1 cup peppermint tea
----
 I didn't realize how much popcorn I eat.. maybe it's time to find a more nutritious snacking food. I've been staying away from gluten for almost 4 months now. At first, it was more of a challenge just to try to understand foods that my mum can and cannot eat. About 2 months in, I tried to reintroduce it to my diet and my body did not like it one bit. Yesterday eating out, I thought soup and hashbrowns would be a safe bet. In fact, it was pretty much the only thing on the menu that appeared to be gluten-free and vegetarian? I think that the soup was thickened using flour and my body is not happy about that today. I hadn't realized yesterday that my appetite even decreased after the soup... I guess this is a good lesson to be mindful of what I choose to fuel my body with.

Oct. 7 & 8

Yesterday (Tuesday, Oct. 8th, 2019)

2 slices toast with apple butter
1/2 nectarine

Salmon with apple, potato, carrot all in the same pan
1 slice cheesecake (it’s all gone now)

Penne Alfredo with chicken, spinach & peas

Drank 4 cups coffee
1 cup iced green tea
2 cups water


Monday, Oct. 7

Twix for breakfast

Penne alfredo
1 slice cheesecake
Small bowl ice cream

5 cups coffee
Some water, not sure how much

This was a bad day (obviously) but I was running on 4 hours broken sleep and had zero willpower. That’s my excuse.

Looking at this, I feel that I maybe didn't eat enough? Sometimes when I'm busy I forget to take the time to eat.. I know for sure that I didn't drink enough water. Also, I have decided to take part in the vegetarian part of this challenge. So far, the hardest part of that has been peeling the salami off my pizza and giving it to Andrew, haha.
