Reflections:
My calories were up significantly, likely from the full serving of the vegi lasagne. I knew better, but I was really hungry. What I should have done was had my usual half serving, then had some green beans with it to fill up. I've been fairly hungry all day. Did have a blockage from my chicken at lunch. I got a salad and was eating the chicken, wasn't eating too fat, just didn't chew my bite well enough. I did some gagging and spitting up spit, but never did get sick from it. It musta worked its way through, thank heavens. Didn't last as long as usual. For that I'm more then happy. The vegi lasagne is also what killed my fat grams for the day. If I want it again, and if I do eat a full serving again, I need to do so early in the day, at my morning snack or lunch meals so I can account for the difference in my goals and plan the rest of my day. By the time I ate it, it was later in the day so I couldn't do anything to alter it. I just need to plan better and learn from this for the future. I only had the protein supplement thrown in at the end of my day because I have to have food with Geodon at the time I take it otherwise I wouldn'tve thrown that in and it at least woulda kept the calories down. So I not only added it in for the Geodon dosage, but I also added it in because I was under my protein goal and wanted to at least meet my goal. My goal tomorrow, I do believe, is to do at least one protein shake for sure. I need to implement one shake into my diet daily, even if I can't quite get used to the flavor. I try, but just can't seem to get used to it. It isn't that the flavor is bad. It beats the milk based, the chocolate or vanilla ones, for me. But the flavor is just aquired for me, I think. I had a husband with a massive headache this morning home with me, and then my son was feeling kinda cruddy from a cold as well, so he was home resting and then running a low grade fever, which subsided after Tylenol and never came back. He wouldn't shut up and go to sleep tonight though. It was frustrating. He just kept talking. I'm not sure why he was so wired tonight. At least he's asleep now though.
