Healthy Food a.k.a. Sweets How I Love You So

Detour: How the heck can I weigh six pounds more this morning than I did yesterday morning? Really? My body makes no sense. I would work out extra but my wise mind tells me that would only result in getting hurt and having to skip a work out later. So, I'm just going to pout. Stupid scale. I freaking HATE scales.

Me and food have a love hate relationship. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Food usually loves me all the time.

I usually manage to have a near-prefect diet for about two months in a row, and then I fall off the rails, eat junk food for a month, gain half the weight I lost back, and start again. I'm about 3 weeks into that "off the rails thing." My diet has been around 2000 calories every day for the last 10 days at least. Maybe I made it under one or two days. But that's bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

Did I mention I'm a vegetarian?

Ok, so, for example, today I ate:

Oatmeal. 150 calories.

                     with

1 1/2 teaspoon ground almonds.

1/2 tablespoon flax seed.

1 tablespoon brown sugar.

a bit of ginger.

quite a bit of cinnemon.

2 drops of maple flavoring.

Tea with 1 teaspoon of honey in it. 30 calories

Sounds good, right? Right.

Then at lunch (5 hours, and lots of stomach growling later) I ate:

1 1/2 cups gluttonous rice. 254 calories.

Some kind of pepper kimchi. No idea of the calories (60?).

2 small pumpkin pancakes. Also, no idea of the calories (100?).

1 lite milk. I think it's 50 calories.

Yesterday I was too lazy to be bothered to do my dishes and cook today's lunch for myself.

Still sounding good? Now add:

1 package of strawberry chews. 175 calories

1 bag of potato chips. 300 Calories

Well, there went the calories I should have used for dinner. :-p And, lunch had no protien.

It's usually around this point that it all goes to heck and I end up working out and then coming home and eating 3 oranges 2 buttered breads an egg and a package of 500 calorie spicy ramen. Here's to hoping that won't happen today!
