Wednesday

9:00 AM
3 slices of whole grain bread (Natural Ovens) with almond butter (MaraNatha). I eat at home before I drive to school. Usually I watch an episode of a sitcom or read the newspaper. I eat this whole grain bread for the fiber and because I like the way it tastes. I used to eat the bread with peanut butter but I switched to almond butter to try something new. Also, I get sick(er) if I eat it at any other time of the day.

I drink a few glasses of water and take my digestive enzymes, multi-probiotic, ginger root, GABA, and a daily vitamin (Twinlab).

12:00 PM
A footlong sub at Subway. Wheat bread, turkey, American cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach. Water from my bottle and a multi-probiotic. I have found that on my days with fewer classes (Mondays & Wednesdays) it has become easier for me to eat a healthier lunch (I usually grab a slice or two of pizza at Mesa Pizza).

3:30 PM
Munched on a few Girl Scout cookies – Trefoils. Glass of Naked Juice – Green Machine. I drink that juice for the fruit. I know it is not the same as eating fruit, but I cannot digest a lot of fruits well. Plus, I find the juice absolutely delicious.

6:00 PM
At home, a large salad with a variety of leaves, some lite-caesar dressing (Ken’s Steak House Dressing), almonds, chicken strips (Kirkland). A few glasses of water. Mulit-probiotic. GABA.

A slice and a half (saved the other half) of cheese pizza at Mesa Pizza. Water, multi-probiotic.

In class, munched on Triscuits (Nabisco). Was curious about the ingredients: whole grain soft white winter wheat, soybean oil, salt. Huh. The healthiest Nabisco product?

More water.

At home, the other half of the slice of cheese pizza. Glass of Naked Juice – Blue Machine. Water, multi-probiotic.

At home, 3 slices of whole grain bread (Natural Ovens) with almond butter (MaraNatha). My classes begin later on Fridays so I can sleep in a little. Same water, same pills.

1:30 PM
Meet friend for lunch at that Thai restaurant in Stadium Village. I ate the Pad Thai with mock duck and a fortune cookie. Water with multi-probiotic, GABA.
