Mindlessness

Jan 29, 2009

 I am so fuzzy in the a.m., rushing to work and get my kid out the door, that I like the mindlessness of having that box of oatmeal packets in the cabinets. Just make it, eat it and go. I know I'm starting the day w/some vitamins and protein in the tummy.  I found the cinnamon flavor to sit w/me the best.  I bought the variety pack the first 2 wks and have now switched to solely cinnamon.

I have expanded my lunch repertoire to include Lean Cuisines, Healthy Choice Entrees, South Beach Living, Smart Ones, etc. My supermarket had them on sale 4 for $10.00.  I can't make lunch for less than $2.50 a day, not here in NYC.  So I bought 30 (I have a chest freezer).  I eat one a day for lunch. Just eat the protein and veggies and only a couple of bites of the rice or pasta.  Some of them have like 20g of protein!  The trick is, of course, to find them on sale.  I know, I know, watch for the sodium content, but I'm not taking in sodium really from other sources, so I'm eating these.

That's 2 meals down that I don't have to think about.

I am still drinking one 23g Protein shake per day.

I am still wearing this stupid drain. I have alot of drain pain still at the site.  I can cope with the smell and discomfort of wearing the drain. But the pain wears me down, especially at the end of the day.  There's nothing I can do but cope and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
