Once again I had to force myself to eat half of my lunch. I'm stuck at work and sicker today than I was yesterday. I packed pineapple and syn free applesauce but I haven't wanted to eat anything. I only had breakfast so I could take my Dayquil without getting nauseous. I know I need to get the fruits in, especially the pineapple because of the vitamin C. Which reminds me, I should list the vitamins I take on a daily basis. I take iron due to anemia, vitamin C to help absorb the iron, B complex because I have all the symptoms of a B deficiency, and vitamin D3 because right now its winter time and I tend towards SAD or depression in the winter due to lack of sun exposure.
I'm also feeling very swollen. I know I'm retaining water which for me means I need to drink more because I am becoming dehydrated but I just can't stomach water right now. I'm trying to get fluids in but its just HARD right now. I guess when I get home this evening I will go for some broth and see if that helps, although the salt may make it worse. :( I just want to feel better.
I found out from my SW veteran friend that I have been counting my applesauce all wrong. I am supposed to be counting it as 1.5 syns due to the fruit being cooked. Thank you, Helen, for steering me straight on that :) I have updated the recipe to be called Yummy Almost Syn Free Applesauce and updated my syn values for the days I ate it this week. Since I was counting my syns wrong, I think I went over what I was supposed to have so I will have to be extra careful for the rest of this week.
Tomorrow is grocery day so I better get to planning the weeks meals so I can optimize my shopping trip like I optimize my food now. Should be fun :)
