A healthy body and soul come from an unencumbered mind and body.
The title is a quote from someone named Ymber Delecto.
"Unencumbered body" ....Does that mean I just need to stop wearing clothes and I'll feel better?
Today was not a good day. I woke up way too tired. I got up, ate my morning frozen fruit, got my shower, and went to work. I had to take the cat to work with me for her check-up and vaccines.... she threw-up in the car on the way there. I knew that stuff did not bode well for the rest of my day.
My stomach started acting up at work... usually I'll drink my whole Ensure and some pretzels during my shift, but today I couldn't even get down all of the Ensure. The pretzels sat a little better, but not much. After I got home I busted out my "when all else fails" food- beef jerky. That actually helped a little. I drank some Gatoraide and munched on the jerky for a while, all the while still feeling pretty crappy. Finally I decided that if I was going to feel like shit anyway, I might as well actually eat something that tastes good. I made myself a brat on the grill and I swear it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted in my entire life. I've barely had the littlest bit of fat to eat since May and my body obviously missed it. So my total food intake for today:
Frozen fruit- 80cal
Half an Ensure- 125cal
Handful of pretzels- maybe 100cal
Beef jerky- 100cal
and my wonderful brat- let's call it 200 even (it was a turkey brat)
That gives me a grand total of 605 calories for the day. Maybe I forgot something so let's call it 800. What a diet eh?
On the upside, I couldn't find my comfy blue jeans yesterday when I was getting ready for the store. I grabbed a pair of khakis from the closet and saw that they were an old pair that I hadn't been able to wear since my sophomore year in college. I thought to myself, what the hell- why not try them on, and sure enough they fit! They freaking fit! As far as numbers go they're the same size, but as any woman will tell you that doesn't mean much. These weren't from some plus-size store either, they were from Learner NY & Co. I can't tell you how awesome that was for me. I can actually shop in a "normal," trendy, mall store!
