Comfort Food
Everyone around me has been getting sick, so it’s no surprise that I finally succumbed to it. Especially considering that I’ve been overeating/overworking and underexercising. So yesterday I dedicated myself to getting better and relaxing. I cancelled all my plans, took loads of vitamins, watched Arrested Development and the Godfather, read trashy magazines and quality books, and ate comfort food!
I realize eating comfort food may be not the “healthiest” thing in terms of physical fitness and obtaining my long term goals, but when I’m sick nothing feels better than having a full belly or delicious food. So below is what I ate.
I realize eating junk food is never good, but I at least feel better about eating crappily when I’ve prepared it and know what went into it. Obviously that macaroni came out of a box, but everything else I made from scratch (ok, not the cereal, but you get the point) so I know exactly what I was consuming.
Also later on my fiance brought me some ice cream to cool me down (I was sweating a lot for no apparent reason . . . eww), but I didn’t have very much of it. I got a good nights sleep and guess what . . . I feel a whole lot better today! Not 100% but about 80 or so. I started today off with some oatmeal, orange juice (with calcium), and a vitamin. I’m still psyched for superbowl tonight, but I think I’ll be passing on the alcoholic beverages.

I totally should’ve had soup, but I was having these weird sweating spells . . . but I’m feeling much better today, thank you!
