captain_slinkyBreakfast: Skipped
Lunch: Pastaless Spinach Lasagna (my own recipe)
Dinner: Pastaless Spinach Lasagna, Trader Joe's Soy & Flaxseed Tortilla Chips
Gym: None, 20.2 miles total
Clean: Minimal, just enough to cook some real food in the kitchen
Yesterday was a very full day of feeling like crap. Trader Joe's Soy & Flaxseed Tortilla Chips are the closest thing to crackers that I can eat on a low-carb diet, and once I held some of those down in my tummy it gave me confidence to try making and eating something with nutritional worthiness. My Noodleless Lasagna, a recipe from the way-back of 1999, involves ground turkey, cream cheese and greek yogurt surrounded by tons of spinach, garlic, mushrooms, green peppers, onions and a minimal amount of tomato sauce to keep it all wet. Instead of noodle, I use layers of fresh parmesan cheese. Could also use eggplant and/or zucchini, but I couldn't find any to use.
My first plate of the stuff felt good going down, then sent me wave after wave of nausea. Had to cancel going up to Mount Vernon to see my Dad on his birthday, it was THAT BAD :(
Yesterday was Molly's last day of school, and the ONLY thing she wanted to do as a celebration was to stay up all night watching cartoons with me, "Like we always did" (Molly and I have had a history of staying up late watching cartoons together). She only made it till 11pm, but that was enough time for me to try another small slice of lasagna and HEY! I'm okay!
