31 Days, Day 6

Recap of Day 5.

No breakfast.

No lunch. 

[Reason: I was in chemo treatment from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., don't like to eat prior in case a reaction flares up.  That can get ugly, I dislike nausea.]

Dinner (5:00 p.m.): Frebird's World Butrrito.  Monster (14" tortilla) Whole Grain burrito.  Black beans, (un-) Refried Pinto beans (no oils, just mashed beans), roasted veggies, lots of cilantro, roasted garlic roasted lime, cilantro lime rice, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa.
Evening snacks (7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.): Larabars Key Lime Pie and Ginger Snap

HUGE burrito, but I WAS hungry by this point.  Did the best I could to locate something as close to McDougall friendly.  One of the two Whole foods/Health foods store in Midland has a cafe in it, but I was VERY surprised to see there was nothing vegan on the menu.  WOW.

Yesterday was World Smile Day.  I admit, even though I had this info pretty early in the morning, I may NOT have smiled as much as I could have.  I did spend a good deal of time sleeping during treatment (mostly to catch up from the previous week).  And, when awake, I was listening to Adele so not much to smile about (her songs are pretty sad).

Thinking I have to recapture some semblance of "control" over my life, so Sunday I will start C25K.  Just to get some movement and try to regain energy levels.  I read an article on how important exercise is to cancer patients, so I am getting moving.  I don't have any distinct goals in mind yet, but I am sure as I see how my body takes to the movement, I will set at least one.  I really want to run a 5K with my (x)wife, and also  do at least one more half marathon.  We shall see.
