Yesterdays dinner, a can of "Great Value" Beef Ravioli, was disappointing. I didn't eat but a third of the can to make sure I had enough to eat for later and the taste was pure tomatoes. I had some wheat bread with it which helped balance the taste. But beyond that, the meal left me wanting. I had the desire to hit the pantry and fridge all night long. When I laid down for bed, up came the acid reflux. I don't usually have acid reflux unless I severely overeat (like on Turkey day or Xmas) so dealing with it this morning wasn't pleasant. I wonder if after tasting beef ravioli all night that I will be able to eat the pasta for a second night.
So, If I had to evaluate this experience so far, I would say that it is not easy. It isn't easy to plan or budget, but it also isn't easy to have high sugar, high fat, bland or over flavored foods in my diet. It simply isn't enjoyable. And what's worse is that I feel a bit dragged down this morning. My calorie intake was much lower than normal yesterday and I am certain I am not meeting nutritional recommendations. No wonder I feel like I have less energy. If there was a day I craved coffee, it is this morning.
If this stays up, up wonder if my productivity will decline. Mind over matter right now. I have the motivation to do this, but I can understand why some people don't "fee like working" like Opal. When life does what it did to her, or when you don't actually have the energy cuz you feel bad, I think I get it...maybe I am being presumptuous...just tryting to free write.
