I’ve come to the realization that I can’t eat meat during the day when I’m at work.  For example, a lunch of leftover beef and rice will make me feel lethargic by 2pm.  So, I’m only been eating a vegetarian lunch for the last four months, and I love it!  I never crash in the afternoon and have lots of energy to spare by the time the school bell rings at 3:00pm.   This is my typical lunch, which I’m STILL not bored by.  The above picture has butter...

They are: canned tomatoes corn-fed beef microwave popcorn non-organic potatoes farmed salmon milk produced with artificial hormones conventional apples I don’t eat canned tomatoes or microwave popcorn, so I don’t have to worry about that.  I try to buy only organic dairy products because there are too many hormones in cows nowadays.  Even as a kid, I noticed the waxy, pesticide residue from apples and would always peel mine.  The two things that surprised me were the...

I love it, but it makes me miss traveling so much.  

Even though Christmas is over, this is a great way to wrap presents all year round.

While out to dinner with friends the other night, I mentioned how I was going to write a Yelp review of the restaurant we were at.  My friend knew I was also going to upload the pictures I had taken that night and made a comment, saying that even though websites like Yelp are convenient, there’s something to be said about creating your own content and keeping it.  I’ve never thought about it that way, but he was right.  For the past few years, I’ve been spreading...

As you can probably tell, I had to take a break from the slow carb diet.  Last weekend, R. came to Portland to pick up his Japanese visa and I planned on taking a 2 day break from the diet.  I felt it’d be too hard to show someone around town and not partake in the deliciousness that Portland had to offer.  We ate tacos from the Korean taco truck, soy sauce wings from Pok Pok, pho, German pancakes, omelets, biscuits and jam, spicy wings, bacon, various soups, and beer. In...

No headache today.  Taking Brandon’s advice and others on forums, I tried to drink more water throughout the day.  Another person suggested that it could also be from a sugar withdrawal.  I’m pretty sure I don’t consume enough sugar to get headache withdrawals from it, but who knows' Day 4 – Breakfast: 2 fried eggs and a turkey pattie with salsa. I had already started eating this until I remembered to take a picture.  7:30am Day 4 – Lunch: A mixture...

Yesterday I had a rough day with my students and had a dull headache after school, around 3:00pm.  At the time, I chalked it up to the kids, even though I’ve never had a headache so far this year.  Today, I had another headache around the same time, even though it was a pretty good day.  So now, I’m wonder if my diet had something to do with it.  Maybe I’m not eating enough, or maybe I’m eating too much protein'  I don’t think so, but I’m...
