Feeling a bit under-the-weather.  I am having horrible allergy problems.  The weather here is in the 30-40 at night and 70-80 in the day, so plants are still blooming, which is driving me up the wall.  I won't get my allergy shots today and get weighed because of my current allergy state.

 Breakfast: Eggs, Grits, and OJ

Dinner: Roasted Oakra with Garlic, Kidney Beans with Cornbread, Marinated Cabbage Salad with water

Supper: Chicken Broth! with Water

I have not felt like snacking today, but will have yogurt when I get home.  Plain yogurt, fat-free, with peach puree.

Day 1:

Breakfast: Organic Oat Meal and Skim Milk

Dinner: Pinto Beans with Cornbread and Marinated Cabbage Salad with Water

Supper:Pinto Beans with Cornbread, Marinated Cabbage Salad, and Steamed Veggies with Water and Skim Milk

Snack: Kashi Pumpkin Spiced Flax Granola Bar, Plain Yogurt with Peach Purree and Skim Milk

I drink alot of skim milk and yogurt.  The only two grocery stores in town don't carry many organic products, so I use as many fresh veggies I can get either from the grocery store or from a local farmer's market, but even that is limited to watermelons, tomatoes, winter greens, sweet potatoes, potatoes, beans, squash, and pumpkins.  Living in a small rural area an 60+ miles away from any store with any variety of organic products is a challenge.  Living single also limits how much I cook and the variety of food, so what I have for lunch I often have for supper for a few days.  Budgeting is also a limitation.

I have decided to use this blog to track what I eat each day, how much I eat each day, and once a week I will log my bloodpressure, weight, pulse, and temperature.  I visit my general physcian once a week for allergy shots, so I will use this information to help me help myself and others to learn from my mistakes.  I will also log my cycle because that too may affect my eating habits and weight.
