hey, so guess what happens when you spend two months eating stuff you shouldn't in order to push down your emotions and stress, and then you stop? The emotions come back up! I had a total, unreasonable emotional meltdown today. And for no reason whatsoever. Fortunately M. is very rational and understanding. Detox is a bitch.
After that little episode M. decided I needed to get out of the house for awhile so we drove to Bastyr and I got my textbook for summer quarter and then we went for a hike in
St. Edwards Park which the campus is next to/part of. It was lovely! The picture above is of the historical building at the park that used to be a Seminary. I wish I had brought my camera. Gorgeous flora and fauna-- we saw some berries that were maybe huckleberries and some other ones we couldn't identify and some interesting mushrooms and lots of happy dogs. I didn't make it to the gym today but the hike was very steep so I'll say that's good for exercise for today.
I haven't been perfect food-wise today, but not bad:
1. 2 eggs with kale and zucchini, 1/2 a nectarine
2. smoothie with 1T rice protein 2 oz spinach, soymilk, and blueberries
3. salad with half a can no-salt added bean chili over it* (story about this to follow)
4. same as 2, then I had a small serving of strawberry soy ice cream which wasn't the best plan, especially since I was eating it for emotional reasons.
5. I haven't had dinner yet but it will be tofu spinach pot and raspberries.
So the salad story is that I picked lettuce from the garden, rinsed it, made M. and I both salads and was cleaning up when I noticed a tiny slug on the cutting board where the washed lettuce had just been! So then I was afraid I was eating slugs in my salad which kind of ruined it.
M. just came and told me the raspberries are ripe! So I'm off to pick them. I can't believe it's already July.
