Beverage Changes

Seems like it’s been forever since my last post but really it’s only been 2 weeks 😉  I wish I could say I was doing a ton of fun and eventful things during that time but that would be a lie.  Nothing but working and feeling sick happening in my household.

During my short time away I did manage to make a couple healthy lifestyle changes.  I cut both booze and caffeine from my daily intake.  Now, anyone who has read my blog knows that both of these items are frequently mentioned.  I’m not saying I’m giving up on caffeine and booze forever but I wanted to see if making these small changes would make a difference in the frequency of my headaches.

Verdict:  I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for at least 2 weeks and during that time I haven’t had 1 headache.  Woohoo!!!

Breakfast

1 container of vanilla Chobani yogurt with the best pumpkin spice almond granola:

Lunch

I was trying to find something on the healthy side for lunch.  I didn’t want a sandwich and I was having salad for dinner so I opted to go to Wow Bao.

I ordered the vegetable rice bowl which was not as good as I hoped so I only ate half.  It had cilantro (which I hate) and it was way to salty:

I also had a chipotle chicken bao.  A bao is fluffy steamed dough filled with (in this case) chipotle chicken and spices.  The dough on these bad boys are SO good.  I love it!

Afternoon Snack

My office is freezing so I needed something warm.  Normally I would have gone to Starbucks and picked up a latte.  Since I’m not doing caffeine I decided to go with a grande refresh green tea instead:

Ended up being the perfect choice 🙂

Dinner

Patrick and I are both trying to eat better so it really didn’t surprise me when he suggested salad for dinner.  I busted out the veggie knife, cutting board, salad fixings and got to chopping.

In the mix:

• lettuce
• carrots
• celery
• cucumber
• parmesan cheese
• Italian dressing

Put it all in a bowl and chow down!

I’m pretty pleased with my food choices today.  Hope I can do as well tomorrow!

Blog atcha’ later!
