Mayo-free chicken salad

4:30 wake
5:30 take friend to airport
6:30 g beef and peas, tea
9:00 boiled egg, carrots, huge Americano w/ cream and Splenda
12:00 “chicken salad”, romaine lettuce
1:00 still hungry – part of cottage/protein powder snack, carrots
4:00 the rest of the previous snack, diet Dr. Pepper
6:00 beef and spinach
8:00 viactiv (calcium chewy-chews) , potato wedges

A friend had to catch an early flight and I offered to take her since I’m normally up at that time anyway. For some reason I got really anxious about sleeping through the alarm (never happens) so I didn’t get any sleep. Then I had to sit in front of the computer all day which is my excuse for the coffee and diet.

No-Mayo Chicken Salad
The chicken teriyaki I made with chicken breast came out dry and icky, but there’s a lot of it. Today I cut it into tiny chunks, mixed it with a bit of feta cheese, a squidge of flaxseed oil, and fat free yogurt and it was really good! Who needs mayo?

I was fine all day, but then I crashed in the evening and lay on the sofa watching “The Specials” (worst movie evar). Then I had a freak-out and cooked and ate some potato wedges I found in the freezer. I was all guilty and feeling bad about having to report the freak-out, but not too long after it became apparent (I won’t go into detail) that I am not digesting my food. On top of that, dinner had a 2.5 hour transit time. I’m probably feeling malnourished and that’s why I’ve been so bad about sweets. I’ve been taking digestive enzymes sporadically, so I’m going to take HCl with my main meals again, that seems to help a lot.
