[Jiffer]

I'm not cycling much these days other than short easy rides. I have adrenal fatigue, which makes me ... you guessed it ... fatigued. I need a lot of rest and I need to eat every two or three hours. I'm trying to up my whole foods, veggies, etc.

BREAKFAST

Trader Joes Instant Apples & Cinnamon Oatmeal w/ Almond Milk

Trying to make myself switch to non-instant with no sugar, but someone has to finish the box first! Ha! I have Truvia in my oatmeal when it's not pre-sweetened. I really need to have more protein with each meal and I do find I can't last long on just oatmeal and almond milk. I am more satisfied when I have eggs, so that's my norm ... and what I had for lunch.

LUNCH

2 Eggs, sunny side up (organic)
Half an avocado (not organic, cause it's not as important since I'm not eating the skin ... pricey to do organic, so I try to do the most important stuff organic.)
3 slices of tomato (organic)
1 slice whole wheat sourdough toast (with no sugar or preservatives)

SNACK

Organic Apple with Organic Peanut Butter ... no sugar added

DINNER (haven't eaten yet, but this is what we're having)
Sauteed Chicken Strips ... yep ... organic, uncaged, etc. (was going to grill the chicken, but decided to make the kind my daughter loves, since she won't like what else we're having!)
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Salad

SNACK

Might have a piece of toast with peanut butter. I'm really trying to avoid sugar lately, so this is sort of my dessert. I might have a mango instead if they're ripe. I'm really not supposed to have a lot of fruit right now. The sugar makes my adrenals work harder.

I'm going to a nutritionist tomorrow, so who knows what she'll do to my diet! It's a little scary.
