I was so hoping to make the effort to get some exercise and try to loose  little weight through this experience.  But now I see that it simply isn't going to happen.  How can I expect myself to get 20 min of aerobic exercise in when I can't remain upright?  When climbing the stairs to do laundry leaves me winded, do I really want to go for a 5k walk?  what if at the farthest point I just get so tired I can't turn around and come back?
Went to the grocery store on Friday after work.  Spent about an hour and took my time.  There were several moments when I felt light headed and a touch feverish.  But I mustered through and brought home the bacon (for the big spinach salad).
Dark leafy greens are the answer.  Over the past few days while I was feeling particularly weak, I gave into my craving for garbage food - greasy fish and chips with mayo, Hamburger Helper...  WRONG!  I don't need preservatives and chemical power substances that become sauces.  I need vitamins and fiber.  Iron for energy!
Had a good breakfast this morning too: an omelet with bacon, spinach, broccoli, mushroom, onion and cheddar.  I tore and wilted the spinach it in the hot bacon fat, then set it aside to drain on paper towel. Then I sauteed the mushroom, onion and broccoli florets so they were soft with a bit of caramelization.  When the egg was 1/2 cooked through, I spread the ingredients inside with a bit of cheddar and folded it in half.  Put a bit more shredded cheddar on top and covered with a lid off the heat while I waited for toast to pop.  So indulging... but good for the tummy and the soul.
