I was out the door and to my natural health place for 9 this morning when they opened. And the day got busier from there! BUT despite PMS, I controlled myself today and didn't cheat :)
As of this morning I'm back on ALL my supplements! Plus a new one - I did some research on rosacea since mine's flared up so badly lately and found out that even doctors are treating it with zinc. My flare-ups are largely triggered by hormones. I found out zinc affects progesterone, so it deals with the hormone trigger in addition to treating the rosacea itself. What I got is a liquid solution. I take it twice a day, and also spray it on my face. I bought the spray bottle (travel size) but it's sitting in the trunk right now :P So I'll start spraying it this weekend. When I spray the silver solution it helps, but not enough. I'm real interested to see what the pure zinc does!
Breakfast - watermelon
Lunch - grilled chicken (frozen, fully cooked) in baby Romaine salad w/organic ranch; Ghirardelli square
Before supper - Oreo (just 1! I was making crumbs for Ethan's cake)
Supper - vegetarian baked beans; avocado and mayo on multi-grain french bread; brownies
Other (after supper) - taste-tested the icing and Ethan and I licked the beaters ;)
Really hope I get some good sleep tonight! BUSY day tomorrow! Interested to see how being back on all my supplements affects me, especially my sleep...

Compromise
We had a very filling lunch today! When it came time for supper Jesse and I weren't very hungry. I mentioned something about a pan of brownies sounded good as supper and that got Jesse started. He really tried hard to talk me into making a pan for supper! So we ended up with a compromise :P
"Breakfast" - 1/2 cup coffee w/demarara and heavy cream (the new usual w/coffee)
Lunch - taco salad
Supper - Bisquick recipe coffeecake w/Ghirardelli 72% chunks

What Heat?!
The 4 of us were out all day running errands - heat index over 100 and no car ac still :( The repair shop ordered the parts but they couldn't get them in till early next week. We had lunch with my mom. I didn't eat on plan but what I got was much healthier than my extremely fattening usual there ;)
Breakfast - banana, apple juice later
Lunch - IHOP - mushroom, spinach and swiss omelet; buttermilk pancakes w/butter
Supper - leftover chocolate chip pancakes (just a few small ones)
Two nights in a row of being out past midnight + being out in the heat all day has me EXHAUSTED...

Ethan's Birthday!
And he spent it sick :( Congestion, coughing, feeling bad... At least he enjoyed his birthday presents! I treated him to macaroni and cheese for lunch today, so I treated Jesse and myself too :) For supper I had planned on making "macaroni garlic" since it's one of Ethan's favorites, but he wanted pancakes instead. Fine with me! He only ended up eating a few though. He barely drank anything today either :( I hope he's better by Saturday for his party! And that no one else gets sick. Gabriel is coughing and sneezing some but so far not bad.
Breakfast - watermelon
Lunch - shrimp salad - roasted shrimp (oo, Essence), Romaine, pepper; Ghirardelli square
Supper - whole grain pancakes (homemade mix) w/semi-sweet chocolate chips
I used Ener-G egg replacer in the pancakes tonight for the first time. It did good! And as always, I used rice milk instead of regular milk.
