The boys and I ran some errands while Mom did her PT then stayed in the car till she was done. Unfortunately, she was running late, and the parking lot faces the donut shop! Sigh... But I knew I would be running today and wanted to make sure I was fueled with good foods beforehand. Good thing, or we would've had donuts for breakfast ;)
Breakfast - banana
Lunch - rotisserie chicken breast in usual salad; Ghirardelli square
Supper - baked (nuked) red potato w/butter, salt, pepper; broccoli w/butter, salt; battered mushrooms w/ranch; better than crunch

Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA
12-16 oz whole wheat penne
4 c. rice milk
1/2 cornstarch
1 cup canned pumpkin
Cream (1/3-1/2 c?)
Salt
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pot.
While pasta is cooking, make sauce. Heat 3 cups of rice milk over medium heat until hot. Mix cornstarch into remaining rice milk, whisking until smooth. Slowly whisk cornstarch mixture into hot rice milk. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Add pumpkin and cream and salt to taste. Heat.
Mix sauce into pasta.
*It looks like macaroni and cheese, and the texture is very similar!

No Run Today :-(
I'm still not feeling real good and despite wanting to do it, I don't think it would be a good idea. It's 3pm and I'm tired, still shaky, and slightly congested. I will probably be okay after a good night's sleep. I hope...
So the plan is to run Fri and Sat so I can get my 3 days in and start Week 2 on Monday.
I'm disappointed but I won't let it discourage me!

Update
It's a little after 11 now. I ended up eating about 6 or 7 crackers and have felt progressively better. Right now I'm hungry and my stomach is growling! Definitely good signs :-)
Tuna for lunch. I'm still shaky so I don't know that I'm confident using the stove :-P Plus there's a good bit of fat in the tuna salad (I use full-fat mayo). I need to give myself the best chance of feeling all better so I can get my workout in!

Thursday Morning
I guess my blood sugar's low this morning. Nauseous, dizzy, a bit disoriented, legs shaky and don't want to hold me up. Thinking maybe I didn't eat enough yesterday. The times this has happened, looking back at what I ate the day before, I probably didn't eat enough calories or fat. I think that's the case this time too.
I drank 10 oz juice to see if it would help. It did a bit. Usually I have to dilute that particular juice a lot because it's just so sweet. Today I drank it full strength and it didn't even taste overly sweet. Guess because my body needed it.
I ate a few wheat Ritz. They don't taste good to me but hopefully they'll help. Then when I feel up to it I'll fix some real food. Think I need something more than fruit for breakfast today! Especially with Day 2 of C25k later!
