Less than extraordinary

I woke up this morning bleary eyed and with a rash surrounding my mouth.
Concerning the rash, I have three theories:

1) I drool way too much when I sleep

2) I haven't been washing my fruits and veggies thouroughly, and it's affecting my skin

3) Allergic reaction to spiders


For the bleary-eys, I have one soultion:

I NEED MORE SLEEP!!!!


I run, and run, and run-must do this, must do that, finish everything, than you can sleep.

Well, my bodies getting sick of this. I feel really bad, so I'm going to do something smart and call it an early night. I deserve it.

Food Log for 5/13/09:

Breakfast: 2 apples, 1 orange, 1 banana
I had one apple and orange at my house, and the other apple and banana at my Gram's. I didn't need the food that I ate at my Grams. I was just tired, and my first reaction was to head for the kitchen. I'm sick of doing this. From now on, I am going to eat when I'm hungary, stop when I'm full, and really evaluate my eating habits, so I don't eat mindlessly. I want to enjoy my food, not shovel it in.

Lunch: Small salad with brocolli, celery, cauliflower (iceberg lettuce)
I didn't really like this salad, but since my school really doesn't offer raw vegan food (what a shame, due to the fact that it's just FRUITS and VEGGIES), it was all I had. I didn't finish it though. I really wasn't too hungry, probably because of my breakfast.

Snack: Some of the leftovers from lunch, 1 apple, and a few servings of baby carrots.
I had the apple when I got home from walking Roman, and the others I nibbled on while making dinner.

Dinner: Italian Zuppo
Basically, this is just vegetable soup with italian seasonings, but it was really good. I think my 'dinner' was just the testing bites I took of it, which really filled me up. If I had to guess, that would be equivelent to about a bowl. I made a lot, but I also made it for my lunch for tomorrow. I still have some left over, so I'll eat the rest on Friday.

Italian Zuppo Ingredients:
Celery
Eggplant
Cauliflower
Brocolli
Zucchini
Onion
Carrot
Sundried tomatos and its liquid
Tomatoes
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder

Basically, I just diced all these vegetables, and let it soak in the sundried tomato water. Very delicious.


Dessert: 1 orange
I don't think I was really craving the orange. I just wanted something that wasn't a vegetable, so I chose an orange. I read an article that you should actually eat dessert, because it tells your mind that you're done eating for the day. I must say though, that eating one piece of fruit just makes me want more, whether I'm hungry or not.

And that's something I'm going to do from now on. When I get done eating a piece of fruit, I'm going to tell myself that I don't need any more, and actually NOT eat any more, instead of sneaking in a few servings.

Ahh...so many plans, so many good things I'm doing for myself.
Even though the scale isn't telling my what I want it to, I've lost another half inch-that must count for something! I'm more than a number on the scale...I am a real person, who deserves to lose this weight, and feel great about herself!

Now, I am going to bed. Got to get myself some beauty sleep for tomorrow!
