Missing: My Appetite

Being on the 17th day of being sick is bound to make anyone annoyed, but as I’m starting to feel better my appetite is totally underground and it’s making me a little cranky.  My unrequited food adoration aside, it’s a little embarrassing to be a healthy living blogger while you are neither working out nor eating healthy.  I guess I’ve just joined the Sick and Cranky Blogosphere for a little while? 😉

I could not think of a single thing that sounded good for breakfast, but this sugar-free caramel pudding at least seemed doable.

The SF pudding was last week’s fever-fueled purchase and unsurprisingly it was disgusting.

I spent some time working at Starbucks this afternoon and I sipped my way through a grande nonfat iced latte.

It was 50* out today and glorious!

I ran errands as well, including a really, really bad idea that you’ll read more about tomorrow.  At least my travels gave me time to come up with a perfect salad combo –

Baby arugula topped with poppy seed dressing, crumbled buttermilk blue cheese, butter toffee almonds, and Applegate Farms turkey bacon.

Yum!  Even without an appetite this still tasted good.

I planned on getting something else for dinner but got into a long discussion about welfare/education/fertility treatments/foster care with the husband instead.  Normally an impending sense of hunger would pull me away from the conversation, but with my missing appetite I talked his ear off instead.

What foods appeal to you even when you’re not hungry?  I determined that I probably -could- eat some jalapeno nachos, but that I was probably better off not.
