Elastigirl Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Sounds like a nice, relaxing day might help you beat the sickness for good.

Koaladle Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I AM BEING SORELY TEMPTED. HH is craving cheap Chinese food, especially because we can get it delivered and it doesn't require dishes (which I may or may not have completely ignored for the duration of this crud). Believe me, I know that it's an absolutely terrible idea to eat rich, super salty food while fighting an upset stomach but somehow it manages to be difficult to turn down. I convinced HH that we have plenty of food in the fridge, so the crisis is technically averted--but I am super hungry and nothing we have sounds good. >.> I am also always down for egg rolls and bourbon chicken with an abundance of rice, no matter how terrible I will feel afterward. Being good can be awful. But good I shall be. I MAY BE HUNGRY, BUT BETTER OPTIONS WILL BE CONSUMED. 4 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment

In fact you're making me feel bad about some of my food decisions today... Now I want to prove that I can be good too but the sugar cravings are the worst :SI know what you mean about being full... But Chinese always makes me feel so bloated too. Been awhile since I had a meal like that... Hardly miss it now.For me... Tea and bed. 1 Quote "What do you fear?" "A cage.

But Chinese always makes me feel so bloated too. Been awhile since I had a meal like that... Hardly miss it now.For me... Tea and bed. The occasional treat is fine, though! Sure, you had a brownie today, but it looks like you've really gotten your sugar management down. :-) Last night at dinner, our waitress surprise ordered me a boba tea and it was awesome that a desserty-thing was a treat. I think that's really the point, though; junk food should be no more than a treat. For a lot of us, it used to be a given. Point being: you aren't treating that brownie as a given. It was a special foodstuff for funsies which is a totally appropriate and moderate way to consume that brownie goodness. :-) I think your stomach will be happy with that decision. It was. Lady Hawk mentioned the bloating and I just thought, "oh gross, I remember that.... no thanks." 2 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment

Also, we have no good koalaty soup for sick marsupials as it has all been consumed. We'll stock up again at the next sale.

awesomesue Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Read your movement from yesterday and snorted again. Kiddo looked at me like I was nuts. Too funny.

Koaladle Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 The Handsome One was in charge of food and didn't want to cook. I checked the nutrition facts; they aren't stellar because pizza, but considering how I ate the rest of the day I didn't go over daily values for fat and salt. With the exception of fatigue, I'm feeling WAY better, so it's back to the regular challenge. 2 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment

Koaladle Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Not sure if lazy or just really needed to sleep, but I got over eight hours last night, took a six hour nap, and am looking forward to an early bedtime. HH said his crud went the same way mine has; if continued in this vein, I have a lovely morning of gastrointestinal distress to which I can look forward. Joy. That said, I'm not letting myself off the hook for the movement goal. It isn't intense and I'm worried that if I don't get off my butt soon it's going to grow roots. What a terrible shame, a koala with a tree for a bum. Better to be a koala with a lightsaber. 16JAN Movement: To be edited at midnight Moderation: Slept through breakfast, lunch was a bratwurst from an honest-to-goodness butcher (HH was horrified that the only sausage I'd ever had came from a plastic package--and goodness alive, is it better) and green beans; dinner is pork chops, potatoes, and the green beans I didn't finish with cucumbers that managed to escape my munching yesterday. Water has been low, but then again I've been sleeping almost all day. Will probably reach two liters, but just barely. EDIT: carrots were bending and the green beans did not want to be reheated, so I just have lunch green beans and the potatoes for the veggies. I had all the fluids needed, and made it to 5,000 steps. Now, for the sleeps! Now that I've said "cucumber"...a selection of strange fan art depicting Benedict Cumberbatch as things he is not. 2 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment

Koaladle Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I just got off the phone with my mom. Her dad, who very suddenly fell ill, was given about two weeks. It's hitting me pretty hard that I can't be there to give him a hug and say goodbye. I asked Mom to give him my ship blanket (it has the crest of USS Last Ship; he was really proud when I joined the Navy and about busted when I was stationed on that particular vessel), and he seemed pretty happy about getting a "Koaladle hug". This is going to be the third funeral in less than a year for that side of the family; my mom's only sister, then her mom, and soon her dad. My mom is holding herself together remarkably well, but I'll be flying out next month because hugs are better in person. I'll hit the 5,000 steps before bed and call it a night. HH was a superhero--he went out to grab food and instead of coming back with what he wanted to get (read: 2,000 calories with the bag fries alone), he brought black bean soup and a couple of sammiches from Panera. Plus, he helped with the dishes so that I could focus on getting the laundry done, and I am proud to say I'm almost finished folding everything. I was really active on the DR front, even though my fitbit would argue otherwise. Anyway, I may not be particularly chatty for a while. Of the three family tragedies this year, this one is hitting the hardest. I allowed bitterness between my grandma and myself to go on for too long, which in turn interfered with having a relationship with my grandpa. Over the last few months we talked almost every week, but I wasted too much time being angry. But I guess it isn't all bad. He won't feel like this for much longer. 2 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment

awesomesue Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 So sorry to hear all that is going on. Your HH does deserve superhero status. He made a point to bring you foods that are more nourishing than junk even though being down makes it so much easier to go for crap not caring. 5K steps despite what is going on and coming off being sick is something to feel good about. You need to chat/vent don't hesitate to lament what you need to in our pm. 1 Quote Food Fight - current challengeYeary Bug Count 0... if you are out and about then you are probably eating bugs. 2015 - 22.5 bugs consumedChasing down the most awesome version of myself one step at a time.The Character Battle Log 1 Daily Mile Link to comment
