Days 5-6: 15-MCC
28 Apr
Dear Blog,
I have been neglecting you a tad. I hope you understand. I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday but today I’m feeling better. Oh, except for the lack of hunger that resulted in me eating this for breakfast:
What happened to oatmeal? Quite frankly, I just wasn’t hungry for it. I woke up not feeling like putting much effort into anything, including eating. I can tell I’m still not feeling like myself because this is very unlike me. Though I will say that this Kashi waffle was outstanding, and I like eating PB and jelly in the morning.
Lunch was sort of another effortless project. I tossed a can of Amy’s soup into my bag along with the remaining turkey deli meat + a 100 calorie sandwich thin.
If you read this blog regularly than you know I love Amy’s soups. But I treat canned soup like cereal. If I buy too much, I can’t get enough.
You know what I think is interesting about food – the way that trends justify the price of food. I don’t know how much sandwich thins cost (I am really bad at shopping and don’t pay attention to 1/2 of what I throw in the cart), but I assume it’s more than bread. What would happen if they really caught on? And we no longer used buns or bread – but only 100-calorie sandwich thins?
It will probably never catch on to that extent. But it’s nice to wonder.
I like this shot of the sandwich because it looks like everyone’s too afraid to sit up front and be in the picture.
Gosh. I am a blubbering idiot on here today. Not quite sure if I have anything meaningful to say. My mind is a wash. Hope you understand, blog and blog friends.
15-MCC
So what’s everyone up to today? And what did you do yesterday? Sorry I was MIA and didn’t put up the post yesterday.
So far today I have been doing some light yoga stretching in my office but only for a minute or so at a time. I think I’m probably up to 6-7 minutes for the day. I am taking it easy for my 15-MCC because my body is still hating on me a little bit today. It’s hard to move quickly.
Question of the Afternoon
What do you do when your mind is a wash? When everything just feels blah? How do you get yourself back in the groove?
I hope you start feeling back to normal soon. The heat makes me kind of ill too. Don’t worry, your mind will come back soon enough. Just take it easy until then. I think a good night’s sleep is just about the best thing for it!
yum that waffle looks sooo soo good! its nice to switch up breakfasts every once in a while
Hope you’re feeling better today. I love PB&J on waffles at all times of the day!
i hope you’re feeling better!
I think your meals look yummy
I’m hoping to do some more walking around this afternoon, plus some stretching – my legs are still a bit tight from bodypump last week/running/hiking this weekend/running yesterday.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, delicious!
Hope you feel 100% by tonightand that youre hunger comes back! Bfast looks good- although I gasped when you said you didn’t want oatmeal
I go on a walk and pout for a little bit. It really does make me feel better!
I must be one of the few who don’t really like the sandwich thins? They are too dry for me. I like a nice slice of soft whole wheat bread.
When my mind’s a wash I’ll put on some good music. Helps me concentrate.
Hope you feel better soon!
I am feeling the exact same way today. I just don’t really care about anything I’d rather be at home in bed even though it’s a beautiful day outside. I didn’t care enough to eat anything good today. I hope I get out of this funk soon, I think it’s allergies for me.
When my mind goes to crap, I take a moment to analyze the situation. Sometimes I just need to let it be crap for a few days and then I know I will be better. Other times, there’s no excuse so I actively try to bring myself out of it. I don’t know how, but I always know the difference. Don’t know if this answer helps you at all, but I hope you start feeling more like Rose soon!
Okay this is totally lame and kind of embarrassing, but whenever I’m feeling really blah and can’t figure out why, I like to dance around my apartment to crappy pop songs. It just makes me feel better. Gets the endorphins going or something. Plus, it makes me feel like I’m exercising even if I’m exerting very little effort and that makes me feel better as well. It has to be really crappy pop though–preferably of an early 90s variety. Why do something silly and ridiculous if you aren’t going to do it full out?
When I’m feeling crappy I usually do something really mindless, like reading a gossip magazine on the couch or watching TV…if that’s not an option I do my best to stay positive and…not cry too much!
When life is blah, I usually like to jam out to music or read a book I’m really into. The book just lets me escape my own world for a little while and live in someone else’s. I’ve also found that being around other people prevents me from wallowing when I’m in a blah mood.
I just entertain myself when my mind gets like that. You have to admit, you were pretty funny in this post.
I’ve never seen a cuter sandwich thin by the way!
I tend to try yoga first, then meditate, then go outside (to the woods preferably but outside nonetheless). If all else fails or I’m not up to the other stuff, I stay in and read fiction or watch a movie.
How did you find that Amy’s soup? I tried it once, and though it was super oniony. I like onions, but I thought it was a little excessive.
