August 20, 2021 Day 40

Today I have some symptoms to report and they are all (I am guessing, self inflicted) Patrick says to not assume to know what a symptom is present, but rather really think about any changes made. Diet, stress, environment, etc. Well I had all the above today! Not so much stress, or anymore than usual I should say. I had a fairly busy day and didn't do my very best on the diet. Not awful but certainly the worst this week.

Breakfast - Scrambled eggs, glass of soy milk, PB & Celery

Lunch/Snack - Cucumber & Popchips - I just realized I've been saying the wrong thing. What I've been having are called Pop CORNERS - they have three ingredients, corn, salt, and sunflower oil.

Dinner - Here is where I was naughty-ish. Tony and the kids wanted to eat at Pizza Amoré. We always get a large salad to share. I easily skipped the tasty smelly pizza and our favorite garlic rolls at the table! I even got a lot of the salad toppings on the side and asked for olive oil only as my dressing. (except it was bland!!!) So I took my fork and would dip it in Tonys Italian dressing (made in house there) and sprinkle it so lightly on my salad with my oil to give it a touch of flavor. I tried really hard to only eat the turkey, black olives and large chunks of crispy lettuce. I am sure mushrooms, shredded cheese and carrots made it in my mouth a few times though! As well as pieces of ham and salami! YIKES! I did pick a lot off and had a good pile of "pick off's" on my dump plate! Haha. Nevertheless I have no idea what was in the dressing, the ham, the turkey or the salami! And I already know the cheese and carrots are naughty too! The croutons never touched my salad but still. A cheat is a cheat!

Snack - PB/Milk/SKinnypop

My symptoms have been mild tummy cramp/bloats, and a headache. We did go to my mom's after dinner to play a game and I have gotten headaches at her house before. She has different scented things in her home or candles/air fresheners that I've thought are the contributors. Who knows, could be my naughty cheat too! Gah! On to a clean weekend though! I am looking forward to not going anywhere! ALL weekend! (I hope)!!
