Breakfast, 11:30 a.m.

Peanut butter on wheat toast and light blueberry yogurt.

Lunch, 3:45 p.m.

Leftover pasta from The Cheesecake Factory. It's fettuccine in a parmesan cream sauce, with sun dried tomatoes. This is a baby plate, not a full-sized dinner plate.

Snack, All Evening

As I was working on my lesson plans and grading and whatnot, I munched on jelly beans from Erin's lunchbox-o-joy. These were Dr. Pepper flavored and toasted marshmallow flavored. All this candy has made me realize that I have a cavity in my back left molar...whenever I eat this stuff, my teeth ache. You'd think that would make me stop eating the candy, but no.

Dinner, 9:30 p.m.

Can of chicken noodle soup. It looks all shiny in this picture, which frightens me some.

A Collage of Bad Eating

This week sort of slipped by without me posting...and I slacked a little taking pictures too. I have no idea where to begin on guessing when I ate what, so I'm just going to post the pictures and try to be better about updating this week.

Breakfast, 6:45 a.m.

Banana and peanut butter on wheat toast.

Lunch, 12:30 p.m.

The usual array of Costco crap.

Snack, 4:45 p.m.

I was so hungry by the time I left work that I was getting a headache and I was a little dizzy. (I had no money for the vending machine, no food in my office, and no idea why I was so ravenous -- my eating habits for today were pretty typical, as was my level of physical activity.) I stopped at the gas station by school on my way home because it didn't seem safe to drive feeling that way (home is 25 minutes away). The result was that I ate a lot of licorice in a very short period of time. Not a good idea. Then I was TOO full, and slightly nauseous from all the sugar on an empty stomach.

Dinner, 9:30 p.m.

Because the licorice filled me up, I wasn't hungry for dinner until late. Behold the blandest looking meal ever: cheese ravioli and a can of new potatoes cooked in butter and seasoned with pepper. It looks pretty boring, but it tastes great. I added the cranberry juice precisely to make this look more interesting -- I contemplated a glass of water, but I thought that I needed *something* colorful. :) At least I don't have to go to bed early tonight (not until 1 or 2-ish), so I won't be going to bed with a full stomach.

Breakfast, 10:15 a.m.

Peanut butter on wheat toast and a banana. (And some vitamins and calcium tablets and stuff.)

Lunch, 2:30 p.m.

Microwave dinner.

Snack, 5:45 p.m.

Strawberry Special K bar.

Dinner, 7:30 p.m.

Potato Flake Chicken (chicken breast coated in mashed potato flakes, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese), cranberries, and a gigantic helping of au gratin potatoes (yes, from a box). They're so yummy, and they taste like poop when you re-heat them, so you have to eat them all when they're fresh. :)

Brunch, 1:00 p.m.

Jon and I had planned to have a date of sorts last night, since he had Friday off for the first time in months...but my unanticipated starvation and nap kind of ruined that. We had talked about going out for breakfast today instead. Well...by the time Jon got out of bed it was 11, and by the time either of us felt like leaving the house it was noon, and by the time we made it through the car wash...well...you see where this is going. Anyway, we ended up at Fountain Park, a restaurant my dad discovered when he was in town. They serve a TON of food for cheap. You get fries AND soup with pretty much everything on the menu -- crazy. So, this is chicken dumpling soup, bread, a 1/2 lb. turkey burger, and fries. For $6.99.

Snack, 7:15 p.m.

Wonka Bar from the lunch box-o-goodies that Erin sent.

Dinner, 9:00 p.m.
NOT PICTURED: 3 slices of pizza. Psychology Prof Alicia came over to watch trashy TV. When she filed for divorce her husband stopped contributing to the mortgage payments, so she had to give up cable (and a lot of other things). Anyway, we watched "Forensics Files" and split a Spinach Alfredo pizza. I was skeptical when she suggested it, but it was actually quite good.

Breakfast, 6:45 a.m.

Light blueberry yogurt and peanut butter on wheat toast.

Lunch, 12:15 p.m.

Turkey sandwich, Baked Doritos, applesauce, and string cheese. I had the granola bar as a morning snack.

Dinner, 7:30 p.m.

Mac-n-Cheese. I was *starving* when I had this. Jon and I had talked about maybe going out for dinner, but I'd gone for drinks with a few of my colleagues after work (at 3:30!). I didn't expect to be at the bar until 7...oops. He'd already eaten by the time I got home, and I was too hungry to wait around while I cooked something "real." I only had two drinks, though -- a vodka cranberry and an amaretto sour.

Snack (?), 11: 30 p.m.
I fell asleep maybe an hour after the mac-n-cheese. I'm always exhausted on Friday night, and those drinks didn't help. When I woke up from my nap, it was 10:00 and I felt like hell -- groggy and vaguely nauseous. I finally figured out that I was hungry, so I had a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, then went back to bed.

Breakfast, 9:00 a.m.

Peanut butter on wheat toast and light black cherry yogurt.

Lunch, 1:00 p.m.

I only had one slice of bread left, so no sandwich -- just an assortment of random crap. Some of it was lunch, some of it was afternoon snack.

Snack, 5:30 p.m.

Cookie.

Dinner, 7:45 p.m.

Papa John's -- we had a coupon for a large pizza plus a 2-liter of soda for $12.99. Not bad. My half had tomatoes and mushrooms on it.
