hungry hungry hungry

Is it possible to be hungry psychologically and not physically?

I had a green smoothie

Age made for me and left in the fridge this morning. It was made from 2 red apples ( whole) half a punnet of sunflower sprouts, a banana and water. I had about half of it and gagged. the sprouts leave a very slimy green feeling in your mouth which no matter how I looked at it - was not nice. I added a cup of pinapple juice to it and managed to down the rest of it.

I was out all day to day - from school drop off to when Age got home - book party, natropath appointment, pick up, dance class.

I had packed nuts and apples - but have to admit to buying an iced coffee and a salami stick mid afternoon. At the party - joy of joys - I had fresh carrot sticks and tomatoes - but also dipped these in the cashew and capsicum dip. hummmmmmm

I made another green smoothie for dinner and went off to karate. Got home exhasted, ate a banana, an apple, rice crackers and the rest of the roast vege dip from the weekend and finished up with two slices of my chocolate dream pie....

now way I should be hungry - but I am sitting here dreaming about eating all sorts of things that are not in the house.... sigh.....

Salad Daze

Off to a poor start today – with me sleeping in and fussing over what the kids ate, me drinking half a cold coffee and a glass of water before being faced with a cheese, cold meats and dips platter at the ceremony Morgan had to attend. I did eat one bikkie plunged into dip – but collected a bunch of grapes and carrot sticks and stood away from the table.

Onto a gymnastics class for Lilly and invited to Ikea for lunch – I was pretty hungry by that stage. A glance down to my power word on my hand forced me to get a gross salad ( by that I mean mostly bitter green leaves , 2 slices of cucumber and a slice of tomato and rings of red onion) and watch Lilly wolf down a plate of chips and Swedish meatballs.

We got home and I ate a plate of sliced tomatoes and olives, several bunches of grapes and a banana. Afternoon tea at a playdate – I had two cups of black tea, copious handfuls of airpopped popcorn and two handfuls of divine soy chips.

I made the kids a banana shake and laid out some nuts, sliced fruit and vege crackers for tea – and then had to shoot off to dance class with them and onto town to pick up Age who had been working very late.

Home again and hungry – I have eaten three huge handfuls of macadamias, a banana, an apple and a peach – and trying not to think about Morgans emergency loaf of bread in the freezer.

Overall – shows lack of preparation leads to very hungry day – lack of imagination with the foods leads to boredom.

Overall feeling a bit down in the dumps – probably a hang over from eating some cooked crap on the weekend at the party…. And the glasses of wine…. Measure up day tomorrow.. I really hope that this is all worth it…..
