marcicat | some days it’s a delicate negotiation

Recently I’ve been very gung ho about eating more fruits and veggies. Partially because I love achievable goals and counting things, which come together nicely when I find myself thinking, “hey, maybe I should aim for more than ‘about one’ serving of green things per day.”

But sometimes things are not so simple. Yesterday kind of derailed the goals chart, what with the horrible vomiting and cramps. Food eaten yesterday that stayed down: 3 crackers, half an apple. (Though I suppose percentage-wise, that’s still pretty good.)

I kept meaning to watch Star Trek, since the whole “I may throw up on you” line seemed incredibly appropriate. But staying awake for an entire two hour movie was kind of unrealistic with the way the day was going, so I ultimately gave up and spent a lot of time staring off into space and dozing on and off.

Today it’s like I’m renegotiating everything with my body. “How do you feel about some water?” “How do you feel about some bread?” “How do you feel about the fact that you haven’t ingested any caffeine in more than 48 hours?”

(Note: my body doesn’t currently seem too keen on any of those things, but we’ve negotiated a truce on electrolyte drinks, and I’m hoping to work back up to an actual meal by the end of the day.)
