Day 9 - $1 30 day challenge

 Monday (day 9) was Memorial Day.   I took the day off and went up to my friends house for a birthday gathering. For breakfast I had the chocolate covered strawberries protein smoothie. I didn't have any ripe or frozen bananas though. 

For lunch I took my leftover sweet potato quinoa bowl. I was good to bring my own food. Even though my friends are super healthy. They ate vegan einkorn flour pizzas.  They had a bunch of different vegetables on it. For dessert they had einkorn flour pumpkin muffins. And because they were sweetened with only some honey and the eikorn supposedly doesn't act like gluten I ate one. 
Then we played games. Before lunch they showed me their sewing studio and garden. It was really good seeing them, it has been a while. 

I started getting a headache towards the end of my visit. I took a ubrevly. I usually get head aches when I am on my period, which I was. It was still hurting me as I was on the road so I stopped to get something to drink and take some ibuprofen.
I found this neat unsweetened tea. 
 I tried eating some nuts, but stopped because I was getting nausea. I took a nausea medicine, and thankfully I didn't throw up while I was driving. I think the combo ubrevly and ibuprofen worked because by time I was home the headache was better. 

I had a video chat with my extended family and then got dinner ready. Week 2 starts out with crock pot recipes, and I didn't have time for that, so I made the salmon dish that was scheduled for the end of the week.  It was baked salmon and roasted vegetables seasoned with paprika and garlic. 
I was surprised how much flavor was in it with only paprika and garlic and salt and pepper. It was really good. 

I saved one serving for breakfast and lunch the next day. 
It was so late when we had dinner I didn't feel like exercising. I should have done it before I left for the day. I just need to plan better next time. Gotta fit the exercise into my schedule.

  1. You can make up the exercise. So sorry you get those terrible headaches, I was just like that. I feel bad like my genes gave it to you. So sorry...BTW, it plagued your Papa Lake in the worse ways. Sometimes we had to go get him because he would be sick and could not drive. I is definetly genetic.
