Pumpkin Chunkin


Journal from June 12, 2012



Yup, I’ve spend the last 3 hours of my evening watching a show about pumpkin chunkin. Wonderful show. I would love to go there this year and see the ‘world championship’.

Maybe if I were a sugar baby or a billionaire.

Day 2 gluten free.

I’ve almost stopped typing ‘glutin’ when I’m looking for recipes and such. I think spelling it correctly is a wonderful step in the right direction.

Food breakdown for the day:
 —> Breakfast: Gluten free chex
—> Snack: an Apple
—> Lunch: (not really lunch, but a pre-afternoon-nap snack): a bowl of melon and a yogurt
—> Afternoon snack: trail mix and rice cakes
—> Dinner: Rice and turkey soup thing with tortilla chips and more melon.
Dinner was difficult, I had planned on making some stuffed peppers. Then my friend Katie, who is really having a tough time with Calc II this summer, came over for dinner and some tutoring. She just had some teeth pulled Sunday (ouch!) so the challenge was making a soft dinner that she could eat and a gluten free / citric acid free dinner for me. That would be where the interesting soup comes in.

I am so thankful for all the cooking my mother made me do growing up. It allows me to just throw some stuff in a pot and make a meal out of it. I threw some ground turkey I found when I cleaned out my freezer Monday with some onion and cooked that up, I set about 2/3 of it aside to freeze for a different meal and then added some carrots to cook for a bit. Then I added a pack of seasoned microwave rice and some chicken broth to make it a soup. Yummy!

I also went to the local produce/health food store. It was nice to see how much gluten free food they had and I grabbed a loaf of gluten free bread to eat with some cold cuts I still have in the fridge.

Overall I think today went well, I have just felt shaky all afternoon. I woke up more alert from my nap and have had trouble focusing when talking to people, but with this CSF headache it’s kinda normal. I haven’t had a migraine in awhile. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been so careful with my triggers, the medicine cocktail I’m on or because I’ve been focused on this CSF headache.
Coke count: 1.5 (less whoop!)
Water: 2 liters (need to work on getting more in this, I don’t count what I drink in bed as I fall asleep, maybe that will up the count…)
