Back on track

Okay, I’m eating the meat. Yep, baked chicken, baked red meat, and even boiled eggs. I don’t mind the baked meat, but I find it hard to eat an entire breast. It’s not that I cannot do it, it’s that I am not a big meat eater and really thought I'd do the vegetarian route because I don't like that our food comes from other living mamals. I do feel so much guilt about the chickens, cows, and pigs being farmed in such inhumane ways. I'm not insensitive to the needs of the animals, but the doctors say that if I don't eat the meat and drink the protein, I'll surely die. Really, they said just those words. So, I’m making myself consume three eatable meats and drinking two protein shakes.

I’ve been kicking ass in the fruits and vegetables. I try to eat five fruits a day. Well, I don't like eat an entire apple but I do eat half an apple and that's one serving and later I eat the other half and that's two servings. Then I might eat an entire bannana.

I’m back to using the moisturizing cream and maybe I can make myself stick to it. You know, because I have these digestive issues, I have really noticed that my skin has turned into this awful mess of something. So, in order to not frighten my students, I try to conceal the damage by using a lot of creams and it works but I need to use good ones that last longer, hence the plan.

I have cut down from one pot of coffee to two cups of coffee. Okay, two mugs of coffee but there is still about three cups left in the pot. Where I’ve been kicking ass is in my water consumption. I’m drinking five of those bottle waters a day, and only drink one cup of tea in the afternoon. So, my caffeine consumption probably cut in half. When I go back to the doctor and he checks all my numbers he is gonna be so proud of me. Oh and I’m taking my man made nutrients and think I’m a feeling better.

I can't *do* w/o my coffee. But we are eating the fruits & vegetables. We had tabouli last night. It was damn good too.
