Day 103 The Icing Cure

Today was bad, today was a day intended for bad food. It should have been filled with liters of soda, personal pan pizzas, Chinese buffets, and Jamoca milk shakes. The world turned upside down, shook the change out of my pockets, messed up my hair, and gave me a swirly, it was rough.  Today, my co-worker replaced the icing on my 100 day cake, while I was taking care of crisis number 3 on the phone. Later, I added icing to my peanut butter cheese crackers. No, it was not a good day at all. For dinner, I rebounded slightly and made stuffed portabellas and cornbread salad.
Tomorrow, I can only hope for a better day and maybe some fruit for lunch, I do believe that strawberries could have a counter-active effect on today's badness. Berries make me happy, I will be a fruititarian for the day. I have nothing else to say about this monstrosity of an 8 hour drama fest, thank you, drive through please.

Day 23 Apples Shmapples

Today, I returned from the grocery store with something new, apples. I know, apples are as old and as common as the snakes that push them. Apples are new as far as my grocery list is concerned. I do not prefer them and generally just like to look at them or smell them in candles, but this week, I am going to eat them, along with a bunch of other fruit. I am adding fruit to my repetoire and I'm going try and choke some down every morning. Before I stopped eating out, I rarely consumed fruit, aside from the occasional grape or strawberry, but since I am broadening my experiences, I'm going to find a way to make apples enjoyable and edible. I'm thinking smoothies may be the way to go on this one, which means I may have to get up earlier, not neccessarily a bad thing. Breakfast is the one meal I miss grabbing on the way to work, every day I used to have an egg and cheese buscuit from McDonald's, a hashbrown or two, and a big fat Coke, so greasy, so buttery, so full of fizz and sugar. Ok, enough of that! I'm proud to say that I was 5.00 under budget for groceries today, coming in a 95.00 which should last for about 2 weeks! I am rocking the money saving vibe with this project and still had money left from my last paycheck (a new thing). I also attacked the fridge and have a lovely open space for the tons of vegetable projects scheduled for this week....including the one I've been eyeing from afar. So, my goals for this week, face my fear of fruit, create some new recipes, and celebrate my monthlong victory! Only 11 more to go!
