More Eatings

I never got to yesterday's post because I was busy writing application essays for National Endowment for the Humanities workshops, try-ING to watch Ru Paul's Drag Race which I couldn't do because Logo TV were busted like Tyra Sanchez's grill before she get it fixed so she could tell JujuB that the bbq was back on, and being tired, and doing my core workout, and planning a Gatsby related outfit for the teachins! So anyhow, this is a two day entry. I think I've hit upon another reason that eating well is often trumped by eating conveniently. I clearly have other priorities. I wonder if I can fix that.

Yesterday-- Feb 28 2012
Breakfast: Eggs (2 or 3...dunno again) with spinach and tomatoes*
Snack: Earl Grey Latte (I paid attention to the spelling this time.) + Starbucks Protein Box**
Lunch: Turkey, spinach, hummus
Dinner: WF Sushi***, oh shit...more hummus****, spinach

Today-- Feb 29 2012
Breakfast: Breakfast Tacos from WF, ICED COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Snack: World's Smallest Heart Shaped Cookie delivered by students for Rare Disease Day. I have a rare disease. It's called eating tiny cookies even though I shouldn't. Oh I guess that isn't rare.
Lunch: Spinach Salad with strawberries, almonds, goat cheese, and ham.
Dinner/ Snack-- we'll see: HEB High Fructose Corn Syrup Rice and Fish aka Sushi. I call it like it is.
Dinner?: 2 delicious pints from Opal Divines.

*This is why I'm fat? Seriously, who fucking eats veggies for breakfast?
** See, what had happened was, that another teacher teaches in my room during second period, which is right about when I would go for some Starbucks, if I could have some Starbucks, and its just right there, so I can. And then "Protein Box!" jumps out of my mouth. It's not that bad, but it contains gluten and dairy...foods that make my body angry. It's public education's fault...building schools and big shitty suburban neighborhoods full of breeders and Home Depots and then being confused when there's not enough classroom space? (No offense, to um...Hinda Lengst, as I know you are reading this.)
***Yes, again.
**** So, I am pretty sure I am overeating some healthy foods, like nuts and hummus. I think I can get away with this if I'm not eating carbs, but clearly I am having a few, here and there, and there and here. I'm gonna go with it for now though, as I think I have bigger damn problems than the amount of organic chick peas and olive oil I eat. That's an easy fix for later.

So...are you wondering if there's gonna be some narrative arc here? Like a point where I get my shit together and eat as I mean to, or some grand epiphany wherein I accept myself for who I am (yeah, I keep doing that, but it doesn't fix erething.) Or maybe I'll find love!!!! Yeah, I wonder all this shit too.

  1. I get into healthy food ruts. Like, over the last month I've had roasted brussel sprouts with a poached egg pretty much once every day (alternating lunch/breakfast). I need to work on variety. One thing that I started doing that works well in our house is every Monday I take whatever veggies we have leftover/about to turn, add some broth and a handful of red lentils. Cook it all up and have soup for the week. Different veggies each week keep it interesting. Also: I have no idea what I'm doing so don't listen to me. Also: RuPaul's Drag Race! Love love love.

  2. Love reading your posts. Can't tell you how much I relate to them! Good to know other people have the same struggles with food. What was the name of that book you told me about???
