Today, Reboot is reminding me to eat the rainbow. I'm finding this easier and easier as the days go by. Today I feel better, still a little sluggish, but not afraid to leave the house. Here's what Reboot had to say:
Many of the health benefits of micronutrients are concentrated in the pigment of fruits and vegetables. Essentially, the properties that give each fruit or vegetable its rich color are the same elements that help protect our immune systems and keep our bodies strong. Each color family is rich in unique and important micronutrients. The American Cancer Society recommends choosing at least one representative from each color family per day – do this and you’ll quickly get the recommended 5+ servings.
I try to do this anyway, it's not something new to me, but it seems much easier when all I'm not counting beef as something red :)
Here is what we got to eat for breakfast today:
Minty-Fresh Berry
2 cups Blueberries
2 Kiwi Fruit
16 Strawberries
2 cups Mint Leaves, packed into the measuring cup
Calories: 319 kcal
Protein: 5 g
Fiber: 4 g
It was pretty yummy! Today we'll have to venture out to the store to pick up more fruit. We're running low, which seems surprising considering how much we bought. I didnt really think it'd be so soon for us to be running out.
I neglected to mention the hell that showed up at my door yesterday. Remember yesterday, when I was ready to kill someone? Sitting here minding our own business, dreaming of a cheese pizza and post-meltdown...someone pulls into our driveway. I look and see it's the Dominoes pizza guy. Two things instantly run through my head at the same time:
1. IM SAVED!!!!!
2. THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!!
I open the door, and the smell wafts right into my face. It was like the universe wanted me to have it. And I very quickly, said "you have the wrong house". And then he started to argue with me. "No this is the right house, this is the address I have." And he proceeds to read me my address. I tell him he has the right address but we didnt order the pizza. He swears and walks off. Not sure what the fuck that was about, but Universe, if youre listening:
I AM STRONGER THAN YOU THINK!
TAKE YOUR PIZZA AND SHOVE IT!
So back to today.....lets see where was I? Oh breakfast. Okay, so we dined on breakfast, again at like 2:30pm, but it's Sunday and I'm suffering (sorta).
We make the venture out of the house. Sitting at a red light, Dairy Queen wafts into the truck. I start breathing out of my mouth to get away from smelling the deliciousness that is a juicy cheeseburger. But that failed me too, because believe it or not, I could taste the grease. So again, I say to the Universe:
I AM STRONGER THAN YOU THINK!
TAKE YOUR DAIRY QUEEN AND SHOVE IT!
We make it home all in one piece. Unpack, and make up another gigantic salad! Bigger than the night before. I couldnt even finish it all it was so much. It's so great to finally start feeling full and satisfied with the food I'm eating!
Tomorrow is our first day back to work, and we've prepared everything we need for breakfast. We're going to watch an episode of X-Files first, and then worry about lunch for tomorrow.
I hope work is not to scary.
