Aaaand I'm back!

There was a heat wave this week. It was about 100 degrees every single day. I was useless all week. No AC in my apartment.

I couldn't eat.
I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't think.
I could barely move.

I probably drank half of the Los Angeles water reserves.

I did a pretty bad job of maintaining my food journal. I would be like "I will remember this... I don't need to write it down." Which might not be a problem if I would have blogged every night as planned.

oops....sorry 

(Note to self: It takes all of 5 seconds to jot something down on my iPhone) 

Most days I only ate twice a day. I could not even bare the thought of cooking.

Also during the heat wave I only made it to the gym twice. Both times I thought I was going to pass out or vomit because the gym was TOO HOT!


Missing Breakfasts were probably either egg whites or parfait
Missing Lunch was probably a protein shake or some sort of chicken or salad
I definitely took my supplements 30 minutes before all meals. I'm pretty good at remembering that.
So as you will see there are blank spots...

My roommate was going through a breakup...so I thought maybe this would cheer her up. It did in a way. She thought they were so disgusting, that it was funny and therefore took her mind off her woes. 

They were kinda gnarly. Tasted like egg & oatmeal chew toys. But I used all my eggs to make it so I WILL be having them for breakfast for the next few days.
