GRUMPY

Day numero tres. Started it off with some beet, carrot, ginger, apple juice.  My least favorite but I managed to choke it down.  I don't know what it is about beet juice, but it actually makes me barf.  I need to drink it at least an hour before entering a moving vehicle because otherwise its a disaster.

After the gym, I picked up a couple bouquets of pretty coral roses as per the Jan Cure assignment. The absurdly priced Organic Grocery up the block charged me $21 and I'm now wishing I only picked up one.  Oh well.  They're lovely to look at so I'll deal.  Apartment Therapy is right.  Fresh flowers always make a difference.  This one time, I paid $200 to belong to a flower CSA just so I could get a fresh bouquet every week.  The weekly pickup was kinda a pain (you could get them Weds nights) and the CSA was no cheaper than the Organic Grocery, but it improved my mood to have them around so I only half regret it.

Still life with trail mix.

Still life with wolves.

If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty cranky today.  I think this new Zone eating is to blame.  Try as I might, I'm not getting enough protein and that combined with today's workout is sapping me of my life force.  Meals are doable...but I'm having a hard time planning the protein part of my snacks. All the suggestions I'm finding are dairy which I can't do...and the alternatives seem to be a lot of boiled eggs, low-sodium cold-cuts and canned fish.  Joy.

Ok.  That's all I got.  I'm going to go boil some eggs now.
