Food Log August 27, 2009

Sunday August 23: About a pound of shrimp with butter at 2PM. Consumed 6 tbsp. of proprietary arginine mix at about 5 PM. Around midnight I ate approximately 1.2 lb. ground beef with mozzarella cheese.

Monday August 24: I ate a Cornish Hen that had to be cooked or it faced spoilage. I also ate a half of a Cornish hen that had been leftover from Friday. I was briefly content. On the way to work I ate approximately 2 oz. of whole sunflower seeds. I consumed 8 oz. of salami from 9Pm to 11:30PM. At about 1:30 AM I ate three chicken thighs, a large spring Mix salad with two hard boiled eggs, bacon (approximately 3 oz.) oil and vinegar.

Tuesday August 25: I ate approximately 1.25 lb. ground beef with two pieces of mozzarella cheese at about 1 PM. On the way to work I ate approximately 2 oz. of whole sunflower seeds. Ate three chicken thighs at about 9PM. Took 6 tbsp. proprietary arginine mix shortly after midnight.

Wednesday August 26: Gym day. I took 6 tbsp. proprietary arginine mix before going to gym. Ate 24 oz Hebrew national all beef franks at about 1 PM. At work I was treated to a Honduran dinner, so I went off diet. It was good! As I have mentioned before, I don't want to be on a high protein diet forever. At 200 lb., I hope to move on. We miss out on so much, as luxurious as a high protein diet might seem. Also, carbs seem to taste even better if you are carb-deprived.
Dinner consisted of two seasoned chicken thighs and rice. Because I had gone off diet I also ate a couple of nectarines after dinner. I ate two porkk chops before going to bed.

Thursday August 27: I woke up with hangover symptoms even though I had not a drop of alcohol for several days. This happens fairly often. I wake up with a slight headache and slight nausea and I cannot trace it to anything in particular. I sometimes think I have this problem figured out and I'll go a couple of weeks without a problem and then I'll wake up feeling sick. Then I immediately do a mental review of all that I have consumed for the past day or so and rate the possibility of food infection. Not sure what it is this time. Hope it's not that damn killer flu I keep hearing about.
I will skip breakfast and lunch today. I will drink black coffee and chew on ginger root. Ginger is an excellent natural remedy btw. It's a shame that manufacturers usually substitute artificial flavors for ginger when they make ginger ale. For that reason I buy the ginger root from the produce section.
Wish me a hasty recovery.
