Being sick is boring!

Thanks for all the get well wishes, everyone! For those of you who asked the fainting was probably a combination of my fever, the chills I was having, and dehydration. The doctor said I should have at least one more day off of school so my mom just let me sleep today. I must've been really tired, because usually I wake up at 6:30 automatically and today I didn't wake up until 8! I had an awful headache and backache, and just felt really tired all over. I probably could have made it to school, but I doubt I would have been able to concentrate. I will be going back tomorrow. I spent most of the day emailing my teachers trying to make up work, I'm such a dork!

Among other things for breakfast, I made an old favorite: gingerbread oats. 1/2 tbs molasses, sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, and topped with blueberries that are actually purple.

For my AM snack I had some fruit leather and puffins, no pic. I've had a jar of chocolate soynut butter sitting in my pantry for the longest time. I tried it once and didn't like it very much, but I need to use it up eventually so I tried it again today. I grilled it on WW potato bread with some sliced strawberries and it was pretty yummy! I am convinced that grilling any sammich makes it taste a million times better! I also had a vanilla Chobby wob, sliced apples, and a TLC bar.

We had a lot of bananas getting ripe so I used them to make cookies! Or, I don't even know if I should call them cookies because they're refined sugar-free and I want to eat them for breakfast. Oooh I know, I'll call them Healthy Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies! Sorry I don't have a better picture, but I ate them with cottage cheese + blueb and an orange.
Ingredients:

• 2 c oats (I used a mix of 4 grain and old fashions. I'm not sure how quick would work)
• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 c + a couple extra tbs as needed applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 c molasses
• 1/4 c honey
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 chopped banana
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all ingredients with a spoon. Drop by heaping tablespoonfulls onto a greased cookie sheet.
3. Bake in batches of a dozen for 14-15 minutes per batch. Remove from pan and let cool completely.

They were pretty yummy, for something that I came up with! Not too sweet, which is good because I don't really want to eat them for dessert. I liked the hunks of banana. I think I'll experiment on this later.

For dinner we made a spinach and cheese fritatta. Yes, I realize this is almost exactly what I ate for dinner last night. I don't care. The fritatta was made of 5 eggs, 2 tbs of milk, 1/2 c parmesan cheese, pinches of salt and pepper, about 4 c of spinach, and 2 slices of cubed mozarella. Combined the eggs, milk, parm, salt and pepper, dumped it over wilted spinach in a skillet, topped with mozarella, and broiled it for 3 minutes. It was delish. I also had two slices of French bread.
And an apple plus melted Zbar goodness. I love me some carbs, probably too much. But I'm sick so I can eat what I want.

Soo tomorrow I'm having a class party, I forget the reason why. I can't eat at these things for the life of me. I wish I could just eat and enjoy myself, but ED always bugs me. Eating spontanesouly is the worst for me. And it doesn't help that I have no friends in my class to socialize with. It just makes me even more nervous to have to make smalltalk to people I don't even know, and I feel like they're judging what I'm eating. Do any of you have tips for eating at parties like this?

See you all in dreamland!
