Blogging from bed

Hey all,
Still not feeling my best so bear with me for a couple days my blogging might be a bit funky!

I had a horrible night's 'sleep' last night. I say 'sleep' because there wasn't much of that involved! It was mostly tossing and turning and trying to ignore my burning stomach =(
I maybe slept for 3 hours or so, even though I went to bed at 10 and got up at 7.

When I woke up I had a nice bowl of oat bran, I thought something stick-to-your-ribs and dosha-friendly might be good to start the day. It worked-for a while at least. 1/2 cup oat bran, 1 cup skim milk, 1 tsp of ghee, a banana and some cinnamon/brown sugar. My new favorite combination!


The gym this morning was not a fun time. I was soo purely exhausted I even had trouble making 30 minutes on the elliptical. I had it set at 8 instead of 9, and still I stopped at 30, not even wanting to go another few seconds. 175 calories burned. Then, I spent about 35 minutes doing arm strength. I didn't push myself today because I had virtually no energy. I stuck with 12 lb weights and did 3 sets of 12 reps, focusing on perfect form- which turned out to be good. It was just challenging enough and I made it through.

I snacked on a few almonds, but wasn't feeling hungry enough for a full snack- my stomach was hurting so bad I was actually feeling nauseous at this point!
I made it through Sports Nutrition, which was a good class despite my pains. After I headed to the library, where I heated this up for lunch:

It was really good! Indian was just what I needed. I also had grapes I had packed, and a few hours later I snacked on my 0% chobani.


I spent the afternoon reading for school, and reading an entire book on ayurveda I found in the library. I think I've determined I'm experiencing a pitta imbalance so I'm going to try and deal with it that way!!
I texted Nick before writing and let him know I was still feeling yucky and that I didn't want to make dinner. So, we got sushi takeout instead! It was just what I needed. I ordered a bowl of miso soup

it had tons of tofu!!
I also ordered a salmon maki roll, which I had 5/6 pieces of, as well as 4 shumai (steamed shrimp dumplings) and two of Nick's california rolls.

(just a sampling)

It was just enough for dinner, and now I'm sipping on some ginger ale for temporary stomach-relief. I hope it gets better soon, I hate feeling like this!

Hope you all had a better Monday than I! I'll be posting late tomorrow night- I have a long day ahead of me!!
