Food Poisoning...the new diet?
11:16 AM Edit This 1 Comment »
Yes indeed, I had food poisoning last week and though I've lost weight, I've felt like total crap-ola!
I thought it was the "bug" that had been going around, but when my mouth tasted funny (almost like a acid gas...strange, I know) , no fever, and felt like someone was punching my stomach. I just knew something had to be up. Kailee nor Bry got it either. Hmmm?
After researching and talking to two "Natural" Docs, and my father, who is a food safety expert, basically it seems that I've had salmonella. ICK! The ONE time I order chicken at a restaurant, I get food poisoning. Why don't I eat chicken at restaurants? Because they're DIRTY animals. Disgusting. Have you ever been beside a Tyson truck and seen the chickens inside. They all look pink and sick. Ewwww...
Note: I was a vegetarian for 9 years before I got pregnant. Um, leaning that way again, real soon! Also, if you're ever having a pot luck and want me to bring something, don't count on me bringing chicken because it will be so dry that you could feed it to your dog as jerky! Seriously!
I'd hate for anyone to get sick from a nasty bird!
Today was the first day that I was able to eat an entire meal without my stomach hurting afterwards. Hooooorrrrrrraaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!
Speaking of which, I must note that probably the reason why my stomach didn't hurt is because I ate so little. Not because I wasn't hungry, either. A good friend of mine told me about these "Gluten Free" rice flour noodles. Ahh, healthy! At last, a great alternative to wheat noodles.
Maybe great for some, but dude, they SUCK! For one, the texture is like slop! First of all, I don't eat a lot of speghetti. Ya see, I was fed the cheap Italian meal about once, possibly twice a week growing up. Needless to say, I'm sick of it!! So, when I decided to make it tonight, I was so excited because of my new, "healthy" noodles. I spent hours making my own marinara sauce too. I stick the noodles in the pot and let them boil for 8-9 minutes (package says 10) Yo, my high school cafeteria could've done them better justice.
I think that if and when I make speghetti again, I'll stick to my whole wheat noodles. They have more fiber and protein in them anyway. Thanks for the tip though. They're just not for me. I hate to waste food too, but we're not going to eat the speghetti tomorrow so, if you're hungy, let me know. Otherwise, it's going in the garbage! Bye Bye Slop! Appetizing, huh?!?
At any rate, I'm loosing weight. Just not the "feel good" way. I'm sure I'll make up for it this weekend. HA! Until then, don't eat the chicken.......
