Whatever Gets You Through Today

Today's Food:

• Green Monster smoothie (cup 2% milk, frozen banana, 0.8 oz. sample packet of chocolate PB2, handful of spinach)
• Bacon cheeseburger at Rex's Hamburgers (no fries)
• Leftover chips and salsa from Chili's
• Small handful of roasted Gorgonzola crackers
• TJ's Black Bean & Jack Cheese burrito with Limón Corn Nuts and an Avalanche Amber Ale

Today in my Green Monster, I tried one of the chocolate PB2 sample packets I had, and it was just as good as yesterday's! The thing I can't figure out, though, is why mine don't look like Jenna's. Mine keep coming out a lot more green, and hers look a lot creamier than mine. It might just be because she has a VitaMix, and I just have a plain ol' Oster 12-speed blender. Oh well. I noticed that sometimes she puts almond butter in hers, so I might try that with my next one (which won't be until at least Saturday because we have no more bananas). I might also get some protein powder to try in it, like she does sometimes, or I might order some full sized jars of PB2. I might do that anyway, so I can try it with other stuff. I still want to try it with Greek yogurt, but all the cups in my fridge expired and I haven't been able to find Oikos anywhere to use my coupons! I knew they had it at Sunflower Markets, though, so when I was on my way home today I picked some up. I think that just might have to be breakfast tomorrow!

I went and hung out with my friend Chris today, I took him a book I was getting rid of from when I cleaned out my bookshelf since I knew he'd want it, and then we went and had cheeseburgers at his work. He was going to have me eat some kind of crazy cheeseburger, called the Gavster, and it has double meat, double cheese, bacon, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and green chile, but I told him there's no way I could eat all that food, so he just let me get my usual, a bacon cheeseburger with no fries. Then we went to his cousin's house so he could change my oil, because I guess they don't like you doing that sort of thing in the parking lot at apartment complexes. Wasn't all that much, you know, fun, but I bugged him while he worked on it and now my oil is changed, yay!

I notice sometimes when I eat corn chips, they make my stomach hurt, but only when I get them from a restaurant. Like, the ones I bought at Trader Joe's don't bother me, but yesterday after we got home from Chili's my stomach started hurting and then tonight when I ate my leftovers it hurt again. Is it just a coincidence? My stomach hurt after I ate some taquitos once, too, and sometimes when we go to Monroe's and I eat the chips there. Anyone know what might be causing this? Corn nuts don't bother my stomach either, so I really don't know why chips do sometimes.
