I’ve been all over the place the past two days, figuratively speaking. Literally, I’ve been in Buffalo, at work or in my apartment. Influencing the craziness of my eats? I started a 20 Day Vegan Challenge on Sunday, I was so hungry yesterday I thought I might actually eat a horse if one happened to gallop near me, and today I woke up far under the weather. What can you do?
Sunday was fairly ridiculous. In spite of being vegan and staying home from the Super Bowl party I definitely still managed to match the rest of America’s Super Bowl Sunday caloric intake.
Chips.
Summer roll from the co-op.
Fancy bread with olive oil, x2.5.
Vegan almond joy bar.
Gummies.
If my summer roll hadn’t been packed with veggies I probably would have had to turn in my diploma!
Then I got into bed at 9:30 pm Sunday night and barely made it out by 7:15 today. I don’t seem to be sick with any typical flu-like symptoms {knock on wood} but I am tired beyond reason. I swear to God I didn’t spend Super Bowl Sunday eating chicken wings and getting wasted, but when I woke up this morning I felt like I was drunk! It took me 10 minutes to really figure out where I was and I stayed in a haze for most the morning. And super embarrassingly, I almost passed out in the ICU during rounds! Hopefully no one else noticed but the RD I was with said I got very pale for a few minutes.
I grabbed a (non-diet) Dr. Pepper during a quick break and that helped get my blood sugar back up.
Lunch was a simple salad – romaine, raw veggies, pickled beans, and low-fat raspberry vinaigrette.
And I had a bowl of cereal when I got home. A serving of Nature’s Path Coconut Chia Granola topped with blackberries and Simpli Vanilla Naked Oat Milk.
The granola was some of the best I’ve ever had!
It held up in the milk without being too hard and it was loaded with big pieces of coconut.
I ate half of this Enjoy Life Ricemilk Chocolate bar while I did some history reading.
And kept dinner simple with an Annie Chun’s Korean Kimchi Soup Bowl.
I still had some reading to do for class so I needed to keep things quick.
Don’t ask me how I managed to drag myself to the gym after my night class, but I did. I am hoping to start up with the Couch to 10k program again. Today was 1 minute running/4 minutes walking, x 8. Except a great song came on and I ended up just running the last five minutes.
I was starving when I got home so I ate a slice of bread with Smart Balance Light while I packed our lunches.
All that stands between me and bed is a shower!
Did you watch the Super Bowl? What’d you snack on during the game?
