Well...traveling was so-so. I made the best choices I could though, and refrained from any of those "oh-I-can-eat-this-cheese-dip-and-then-what-the-heck-I-may-as-well-have-a-gooey-chocolate-doughnut" type decisions, so I'm proud of that. I took my own food for allot of it... that is great... I'm proud of you for being so strong
Friday Breakfast--Honeycomb cereal Lunch--Potato with Salt and Pepper (at Wendy's), split a Luna Bar for dessert Snack--(when we stopped at Dairy Queen ) Twizzlers Dinner--Chicken Teriyaki with Rice Snack-- Nilla Wafers (did just read that there are whey and eggs in these. Grrr....I thought they were safe? Does anyone know is there is a safer generic version?) I'm not sure, the reduced fat have whey but no eggs....
Saturday Breakfast--Instant Oatmeal that I brought Lunch--"Kaiser Roll with BBQ Chicken, Lettuce Tomato, and Avacado" I took off the veggies and just had the chicken (a very dry breast, and I sure didn't taste any BBQ ) and the bread. I didn't feel so well, so I'm guessing the bread had dairy or somthing. It was a "boxed lunch" and I was separated from my food bag. Oh, that is too bad...it is hard when you can see the ingrediants... Dinner--Dry Corn Pops, Sourdough Bread, and FF Saltines (at a college caf)
Sunday Breakfast--It was an eggs-and-bacon type buffet, I ate a Luna Bar instead good girl! Lunch--French Bread with Turkey and Mustard; a few Honey Mustard Kettle Potato Chips Snack (just after Lunch)--Extra extra dark chocolate (A great find!!! It is 75% cocoa powder, then sugar, then lethicin to hold it together. Yay for safe chocolate!) sounds good!
About an hour later, I had a terrible allergic reaction to something. Food? Something? I have no idea... oh no!
My mouth was burning so I ate a few tangerine Altoids.
Dinner--My whole body felt on fire, my mouth and throat burned and itched, the skin by my mouth and eyes was on fire, even my knees itched. I was sneezing and coughing and my throat was swelling. I ate in desperation to calm the feeling in my mouth. Mexican restruant--7 flour torillas, with guacamole and chicken (from chicken fajitas--someone else ate the veggies). (And yes...I was so sick after.) Finally got some Benadryl, took a shower, and rubbed cortisone and ice over my body. Ate some Fennel crackers and ginger chews to help the bloat. you poor thing.....
Monday Breakfast--Dry Rice Krispies (grim...they are kind of dehydrating feeling dry...) Lunch--BBQ Chicken Pizza (without the cheese--Confused the heck out of the cook, he come out to see if it was true! ...This was all confused by my dad, who asked for the cheese in a bowl on the side...lol!) lol Dinner--Subway Chicken Teriyaki on White (with just the FF Sweet Onion sauce) Snacks--crazy amount of Jelly Beans, each time the Benadryl wore off.
Sorry so long...am hoping someone has an idea about the allergic reaction???
Will report on today later this evening...
