Today I decided after a few hours in the home office, to venture out to one of my "satellite offices". I settled on Oggi's Restaurant...nice wide tables and handy dandy power plugs.
I was feeling a little crampy this morning...but nothing horrible. As soon as my lunch arrived and I put the first bite of salad in my mouth, I started feeling nauseas. Lovely! So it took me like 20 minutes to eat a small salad, while my flatbread pizza just sat....looking at me....feeling rejected and alone. Luckily the pepperonis could at least visit with each other.
I guess on one hand, the nausea is great for appetite control...but seriously, I'd rather do without it.
On another note, feeling newly inspired by watching some of the videos of people doing juice fasts and feeling so good, I'm making conscious efforts to try to get more fruits and veggies down the hatch. Last night around midnight I felt like I was starving...and had July 20th victory #1 - ate a plum.
This morning I had a protein shake with just a scoop of vanilla protein with a packet of Emergen-C. Two fold benefits...makes the protein shake taste good and gives me a ton of vitamin C. Yeah!
Later I was hungry again and had yogurt...and still being inspired by Fat, Sick & Almost Dead's facebook page (which I totally love...and highly recommend checking out) and seeing everyone's posts about what day they're on, what their victories are, what their challenges are, what new concoctions they're trying, etc...I chopped up a peach, banana and some blueberries and mixed it in. I was so proud! Victory #2
Hey...considering what I really want to eat is pepperoni pizza, pop tarts, red licorice and jelly bellies, we're talking some serious victory there!
Around noon, my stomach was grumbling. I broke into the bag of oranges Jason picked up at the dollar store. Okay, they're a little tart...but nothing a little sprinkle of Stevia can't cure. We have seriously KICK BOOTY dollar stores here! Victory #3
THEN...I had a salad with lunch! Can you believe it??? Victory #4
Okay, I DID have pizza, BUT I only had them put pepperoni on half and I got a flatbread pizza...and naturally made several napkins completely nasty and disgusting by using them to soak up any possible oil from the pizza. Overall, I was pleased. Victory # 4.25 (we'll just count that as a quarter victory)
My plan for this evening is to put on my rolly polly (or is it roley poley?) Skechers and spend an hour or so walking along the harbor, through SeaPort Village to the convention center. Today is the first day of the famed ComicCon, so I'm thinking it should be entertaining!
Oh...one more cool bit of news. I found a meetup group called Active & Happy Pregos, so soon I'll get to start meeting other local ladies and making friends here...that will be a nice addition. It's not always easy working by yourself at home. I have co-workers, but they're all up in Chico. Saturday, I go to my first meetup - frozen yogurt and shopping. How can I go wrong there? I'm totally looking forward to it!
I think I'll have my first midwife interview on Friday. I was really hoping Jason would be involved with the midwife interview process, but our schedules are as conflicted as schedules can be over the next two weeks, leaving only two days that we're both available. So, I'm going to interview a few alone and then we'll team up and make our choice. Looking forward to my first actual appointment!
Lots going on...okay, gotta get back to it! This is "busy season" for Morrison & Co...so, giddyup!
