Grapes

Dangit, I got so busy at work. Ok, I will do my best to post my journal.. I need to for myself!!

Breakfast
Lemon Turkey Cutlet
Poached Egg
Blackberries
Grapes

Lunch
3 - Omega 3 Turkey Meatballs
2 - Omega 3 Beef Meatballs
Salad - Spinach, Broccoli, Carrot, Anaheim Pepper w/Russian Dressing (Paleo Recipe)
Mixed Nuts - Macadamia, Walnut, Almond
Banana
Figs

Snack
Pear
Jerky

Dinner
First "Open Meal" Dinner!
2 Rat Toes (stuffed jalapeno w/crab, fried)
Razzoo's Stuffed Shrimp (ate very little rice, I forewent the blackeyed peas, but I do regret eating the whole garlic toast...)

Even though we decided we would enjoy a naughty open meal I still felt a little guilty. Not to mention I felt sluggish very soon after! I like knowing my body isn't used to fried, greasy food.. so that's nice! I once saw a family of 4 all very over weight with the Cajun Platter or somesuch.. a HUGE plate full of nothing but fried items. Yuck. Makes me sad for the children...oh the children!! Ok, sorry.

Are you okay? How is your vision?

PaleoRedHead · « **Reply #12 on:** January 28, 2008, 10:44:55 AM »

Thanks for the concern!!

I got it looked at by an Opthamologist and he said he saw no permanent damage. I will go back in 4 weeks to make sure nothing have developed.

It was really scary... and it could have been really bad. Thank goodness it was a temporary loss.

Now when I tell the story people find it funny, and I suppose it would have looked funny from the outside. I can laugh at it now since it was admittedly clumsy and I'm fine... Ha!

I have a slightly more details on my workout journal.
