Hi eaters!
The night is quickly getting away from me and I am determined to go to bed early to make up for last night.
Yeah…last night.
It was my friend’s 21st birthday yesterday and while that’s not really a big deal here, we decided to get a little American with it and go out drinking.
Since most of us had work today, we decided to drink civilly by going to a wine bar. I bought a half bottle of red and nursed that for a while.
And despite not drinking much and having eaten and drank plenty of water, I was still pretty hungover this morning.
Why, oh why does red wine kill me like this?
Oh well, it was a lovely night and it gave me a theme for WIAW so it was worth it.
Scrambled eggs with kale and seedy bread. 1 veg serving.
My stomach didn’t feel queasy until I started eating this. I choked it all down, though, because my appetite has been ravenous in the morning lately.
Snack:
Coffee and Hale & Hearty Salt & Vinegar Rice & Corn Snacks.
We were out of coffee filters and today was definitely a coffee day.
Lunch:
Red leaf lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, yellow bell pepper, steamed purple sprouting broccoli, smoke tofu. 3 veg servings.
This got topped with some diluted BBQ sauce and I was quite happy. Though I’m quickly realizing that I need to cut my cabbage smaller in the future.
Snack:
The shells of 2 clementines.
By this point I was falling asleep at my desk, so I devoured these little cuties hoping the smell of citrus would wake me up. (I read somewhere a long time ago that citrus scents are energizing.)
I didn’t work so I resorted to Plan B.
Coffee and Hale & Hearty's Choco Jungle and Honey Bee Pops mixed together.
I don’t like how much caffeine I’m drinking, but I’m pretty sure my boss wouldn’t like me sleeping on my keyboard even more.
Gym fuel:
FAGE, muesli, and Linwood ground goodness.
I was probably more thirsty than hungry, but I didn’t want to risk getting hungry at the gym.
Sweat:
20 minutes of treadmill intervals (does anyone know was a speed of 10 on a kilometer treadmill equates to for a miles treadmill?) plus 10 minutes on the stair master plus 10 minutes of stretching.
I just realized today that my gym has foam rollers, so if you have any links to how to use those things, pleasepleasePLEASE post them in the comments. I want to understand the hype.
Dinner:
Baked potato, bean mixture, and smoked gouda. 1.5 veg servings.
Yes eaters, that is a purple baked potato. What can I say, I really like purple.
The end.
Your turn, eaters:
Is there one drink that always gives you a hangover even when you don’t have that much?
Do you use a foam roller? Do you like it?
G’night eaters!
I don’t get hangovers from alcohol or beer but champagne! Is that crazy? Maybe it’s the sugar? I don’t even know if they’re sugar in it, but it tastes sugarier.
I love the foam roller! Totally great on my back. It’s like a massage.
I absolutely cannot drink whisky… because the one time I did… lets just say it did not end well. (22nd birthday… whew, it was a heck of a birthday.) So just smelling that makes my stomach turn!
