Things have not been going well. I got down to 133 lbs and then hit a plateau, or slump. I don't feel like even cooking the right foods. I wish I could just get a feeding tube put in and not think about it. I hate having to think and plan on what I'm going to eat, food is not even that exciting to me right now. I'm more concerned with planning and preparing foods for my kids to eat. My three year old is subsisting on a diet of popsicles, popcorn, pizza, beans and fruit. I have to beg him to take a bite out of a vegetable. My 7 month old is eating everything I give her. She starts with her cereal and fruit in the morning. A teething biscuit mid morning, some rice, veggie and chicken combination lunch, pureed. The occasional prune and apples for afternoon snack and then a veggie like sweet potatoes or peas in the evening. She loves it all. I have to remember that when she starts to refuse to eat someday. They both loved the pancakes I made yesterday. I had the Hodgson's Mill mix and added in some bananas and cottage cheese and we all had a good breakfast. That was the last good meal I remember. Last night I just ate leftovers off my little boy's plate. Whatever he didn't eat I ate bc I was too lazy to even make myself a meal. I didn't even go to yoga yesterday.
So this morning I started with a protein shake and am now having some green tea with soy milk because I have a sore throat and my allergies are taking a toll. I had prepared some chicken salad, the stay on plan chicken salad and it doesn't look appetizing at all. I have green salad ready to go and even that doesn't look appetizing. I have some leftover spaghetti in the fridge and I would normally be all over it except that's what I had for lunch yesterday.
Maybe the weather isn't helping. I have a sore throat, runny nose and headache and have been feeling tired since Monday. All I want to do is step into a steam shower or cover my nose with a hot washcloth bc it's so sore from rubbing with tissue. Geez, what a downer. It's gray and cloudy which is good bc the triple digits have not been so great either. I think I'll just eat soup until I feel better, nothing sounds remotely appetizing. I used to be so much more creative in the kitchen. I think I'm just in a cuisine slump. Time to consult a recipe blog.
