Food diary, day 6&7.

I almost lost hope on Sunday after my poor eating habits spun out of control. But, Mondays are a great restart. Overall, not perfect -- but, I tried. I also missed out on the gym, again. Honestly, I didn't eat enough over these two days. I'll keep this one short.

For lunch I had a cup of cookie crisp cereal with soy milk. For dinner, I had cup noodles with shrimp. After not eating enough on Monday -- I did the same thing on Tuesday. I smelled the yummy smell of pickled onions though, and I was hungry.

I had a half of a boiled plantain with a singular fried egg and a few bites of pickled onions. Plantains are a famous traditional food in most of the Caribbean and is actually healthier to eat than potatoes! Calorie wise, plantains are similar to potatoes -- but, they actually contain more vitamins and minerals required for our nutrition such as vitamins A, C, B-6, fiber, magnesium, and potassium. They are also quite versatile and can be eaten fried, boiled, or baked.

Today I wasn't very hungry, but I was so thirsty. By 4:30pm I already had half a gallon of water. I was even downtown today for my laser appointment and all the fast food places didn't call my attention. Not even Shake Shack or Blockheads! Weird, right?

For dinner, I made vegan cream of Spinach using the sour cream I made in Day 3's food diary -- I just added a half cup of water and topped the finished product with Cayenne pepper.

This concludes my food diary for July 2nd and 3rd. I know it may seem like I'm starving myself, but I'm not. My appetite has been really low these past two days and it's probably because I ate like an animal this weekend. I'm also sleeping all morning and part of the afternoon, so that also may be affecting my appetite negatively. I need to do better tomorrow, but I know it will be difficult to align that thinking with my 4th of July plans. Stay tuned!

Someone help me wake up at a regular time lol.
