What I'm Reading This Week #31
Good morning and welcome to August. Time is so weird, isn't it. It's insane we're starting the 8th month of the year but yet if I thought back to where we started the year in snow, that seems like a lifetime ago. It's been a very long year yet seems to have gone fast - how does that work? Anyhoo, I hope you're ready to roll for the weekend and the week didn't drop kick you too hard. Once again our HOA was refusing to do their job and wanted to check the drainage. This problem is on our subfloor. ..above anyplace for drainage to be an issue with no gutters above it. Then the woman in power sits on emails all friggin' day and purposely sends things out on her way out the door so another day gets wasted. Oh the things the Mr and I say about her that I can't say here. I was shaking so bad Monday night I wanted to go out and rip the damn siding off myself but we worked out instead to try to work off the frustration. I called o...
I tend to eat less, just because I don't feel like eating when I'm sick, but I'm not as careful about what I do eat. I also drink a ton of juices so that probably makes my calorie total higher than it would otherwise be. I generally don't worry too much about tracking/counting for the worst couple of days, but once I round the bend I start in again.
ReplyDeleteI do change how I eat when I'm sick. Mostly because I'm put off eating entirely, but also because of the taste thing!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I have always said that you could make a fortune, if you could invent a "diet" pill that took away a person's sense of smell, cause then they could taste nothing. You might as well be eating spinach or broccoli, as meat and potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI do eat differently when I'm ill. About the only sickness I have is a biannual cold *knocks wood* which makes me crave smooth, cool foods like yogurt and hot spicy foods like chili. Since illness usually changes the way I exercise, I have to keep a watchful eye on both calories and nutrition to make sure I'm not over- or under-consuming.
ReplyDeleteI once knew a lady who, through some kind of illness, had no sense of taste at all, and she was very overweight. I was stymied. If I couldn't taste, I wouldn't be appetite driven. Mind you, I don't think I'd want to live with no sense of taste. But still.

ReplyDeleteIt depends what kind of sick. If its a cold or sore throat I do take advantaAndorra the situation and drink tons of hot chocolate and ice cream. So my calorie is actually higher when sick.
ReplyDeleteI do eat differently when I'm sick. Sometimes I don't want to eat, and sometimes I get so frustrated about not being able to taste anything that I'll try to eat something that I really want. It's normally a fail on my part because I can't even enjoy it. I do rely heavily on orange juice or hot tea.
