Pink Hippo: March 22

 ugh.  why am i confessing my sins when not forced to?  it's this raging PMS.  plus, every time i know i'm going to be back in ohio, the stress of it makes me overeat, despite my resolution to eat nothing two weeks before going.

lunch: chips and salsa; diet coke; Snapple peach tea; 10 M&Ms

dinner: roast turkey strips; 1/2 apple; 1 small brandy

Pink Hippo: March 21

 uh, i also did not write my diet regime from yesterday, for reasons you can understand.  unfortunately, i do not even have the excuse that it was my birthday.

i wasn't going to mention today's either, bc my PMS hit me full-force today.  my body was just craving sugar like i was a cocaine addict.  the five spoonfuls of Cherry Garcia didn't satiate it, nor did the 3 Starbursts.  i went downstairs to Rite-Aid to get some chocolate cookies, but the only had chocolate chip cookies, and i needed something more decadent.  that's when i met Entenmann's Marble Loaf, and i suddenly understood your obsession with milk bread.  this marble loaf, half vanilla/half chocolate, was a pillowy soft cake, light as a feather, that melted in my mouth.  i ate 3/4 of it with a quart of milk.  just thinking of it now makes me want to finish off the loaf, but no, no eating carbs after a certain time, or else i turn into a fat gremlin.  thank goodness this sugar-craving only comes once a month.

breakfast: 3/4 loaf marble cake, 1 quart of milk, assorted candy

lunch: nachos, pretzels, diet coke

dinner: too full from junk food, nibbled on some healthy pop popcorn

alcohol: 1 shot-ful of bourbon

water intake: 60 oz

NO JUDGMENTS.

Pink Hippo: March 19

due to me being on a different time zone on weekends, all mealtimes will be in quotes, as they are aberrant to others. 

before judging me, remember that somebody tried to steal my phone, so a lot of these calories could be deleted due to the extreme stress and shock i went through.

"lunch": chips and salsa; Snapple peach tea; 7 salted gummy bears

"dinner":  chicken and rice; diet sprite

snack:  1 chocolate pudding

Breakfast:  black coffee with collagen powder, bread with peanut butter

Lunch:  too much snacking--two soft pretzels, blueberries, chex mix, pine nuts, chocolate protein shake

Dinner:  buffalo chicken dip, prosciutto and goat cheese flat bread, cobb salad

As I predicted...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Breakfast:  two bowls heritage flakes with oatmilk, black coffee with collagen powder

Lunch:  rice with three fried eggs, anchovies, kimchi

Snack:  3 spoons of PB and cup of protein boob shake, bowl of blueberries

Dinner:  Whole vegan/gluten free pizza (unfortunately like 1000 calories)

Snack:  unclear what it will be--maybe blueberries maybe pretzel, maybe pb, maybe all of the above

Today was not a good day for calories---very hungry all day.  I think stress?

I think the drinking every day really messed up my immune system--now I'm afraid to drink.

I think you should put your collagen powder in your yogurt instead bc it sounds like a better vehicle for it.


What was interesting today was while I was eating my pizza theo threw up like really gross dinner and I cleaned it up and thought this kinda looks like my pizza.  You would think that would have stopped me from eating the rest.  No.  I consciously thought gross as I finished it off.  This is how I know I will fail in life.

Pink Hippo: March 15

 can't believe that you "had to" say the "ides of march".  world feels uprooted.  what's happening.  did i drink this bourbon without realizing it?

also, i think i'm PMSing so this is really going to affect my sugar intake this week.

this is my jalepeno chip brand choice: 


breakfast: 1 glass orange juice with collagen powder; 1 cheese omelet; 1 pancake; 1 fruit/yogurt parfait

lunch: turkey cheeseburger; 5 sweet potato fries (they're just not as tasty as the normal fries); 1 diet coke

dinner: 1 apple,  roast turkey strips, 1 small glass of brandy*

water intake: 90 oz*

Dinner:  Miso glazed cod with rice and zucchini

Started talking about going back to work and how busy it has been....so probably going to stress eat some chocolate when I get off this blog.  Will let you know tomorrow the damage.

dinner:  apple, roast turkey strips

watching the kids eat the last ice cream cones....


Sunday, March 13, 2022

Blue Hippo: March 13, 2022

 Breakfast:  Black coffee with collagen powder, two bowls of heritage flakes with oatmilk

Lunch:  granola with oatmilk, handful of pretzels, boobie supplement chocolate milk (like a protein drink for breast milk)

Dinner:  We had a kids party today so not great....

Four pieces of pizza (they were thinner though), half cup sparkling rose?, one cupcake, one cookie, one brownie

Snack:  Was still hungry when I got home probably from shivering in the freezing cold--so three truffles, some cherries (terrible), handful pretzels

I almost bought three pieces of pie since I was thinking last day for desserts.  I restrained myself but thinking about the ice cream cones in the freezer.  Also did you know that the freaking granola is like 300 calories for a half a cup?  So I had almost or above 700 calories on that crappy meal.  I could have had two egg mcmuffins!!  Granola is one of those foods that trick you into thinking it is good for you but really it is just sugar and calories.  I just need to find high volume foods that have low calories that isn't cabbage.

You drink champagne?  Since when?  

Pink Hippo: March 13th

 lunch: rest of paneer tikka masala from yesterday; 1 samosa;1 kiwi-strawberry Snapple

snack: fries; chips and salsa; diet sprite

PInk Hippo: March 12, 2022

i don't know why the "comments" isn't working.  i went into Settings and looked around but since i don't know what i'm doing it's possible that i changed everything into binary code.  when i looked at "comments" it looks like someone commented in Russian in 2017?  awkward.

lunch: a bowl of nachos, a Snapple Orangeade, 1 spoonful of peanut butter

dinner: 1/2 order of Paneer Tikka Masala, 1 diet spite

water intake: 50 oz*

*pending

sidenote: there is some Cherry Garcia in the freezer which keeps winking at me during my naps.  i may or may not succumb to it's siren song (known as the "tumm tumm grumblies")

Blue Hippo: March 12

Breakfast:  black coffee and collagen powder, two bowls of heritage flakes with oat milk

Lunch:  One piece of bread with a tiny sliver of tuna salad that kids didn't eat, Oatmeal with three fried eggs

Snack:  Papaya

Dinner:  Chicken parmigiana 

Dessert:  One ice cream cone, one bowl of granola with oat milk, two truffle chocolates, two mini chocolate cookies, bowl of blueberries


I finished the milk bread today so hopefully can start fresh Monday.  Almost done with all the ice cream cones.  The problem is after dinner I feel like I can't stop thinking about dessert and can not rest until I eat it.  Sigh.

I'm also going to probably have some wine after I write this. 


Side note: I keep writing comments but it doesn't publish.  I'm not sure what is going on.

I really should consider sleeping at two pm to avoid snacking.

Breakfast:  Heritage cereal with oat milk (two bowls)

Lunch:  Rice with four fried eggs, odeng, kaetnip, seasoned anchovies
