What I Ate In A Day

Hey everyone! I hope that you are all doing well! I'm hanging in, haha. I'm trying to get back to feeling normal after a bad reaction to prednisone (which I took after having an allergic reaction) and I just feel awful and all out of sorts. After I stopped taking it I wanted to do everything I could to get it out of my system as quickly and smoothly as possible so I have been trying to eat as healthy as possible. My appetite has been low so I've been doing the best I can to get meals down and luckily on the day that I photographed my meals I had shoveled snow twice so it helped boost my appetite a bit. I haven't done a what I eat in a day post in a while so I figured it would be a good time to do one.

For breakfast I had some avocado toast with salt and pepper and some pineapple on the side. This was so good and perfect for fueling the snow shoveling I would do after.

I had to shovel snow again at work so I was definitely ready for lunch. I had some rice with some broccoli on the side and it was really delicious.

For dinner that night I had some of the tofu scramble that I made (which is soooooooo good!) with a half of a potato that is smothered in some French dressing and roasted(I seriously love these potatoes).

So that is everything I ate in a day. Everything was delicious and pretty nourishing and although I'm still feeling like garbage I'm hoping that every day it'll get a little bit better. If I could offer any words of advice following my experience it is to make sure to disclose EVERYTHING to your prescribing doctor, even mental health issues. I went to an urgent care place and had not disclosed my mental health issues and the prednisone ended up being an absolute nightmare. I'm still trying to get past it and I'm still struggling so seriously, always disclose everything before being prescribed a medication.

It's not all doom and gloom though guys. I decided that I needed to challenge myself this week. I suffer from a very low self esteem and it is something that I'm working on in therapy. I decided that I was going to get rid of my biggest security blanket: my hair. I hide behind my hair because I don't think I'm pretty (and this isn't me trying to get people to tell me I'm pretty, trust me) and I decided that I can't do that anymore. So I went and chopped off 6-8 inches of hair and you guys... I LOVE IT. I'm so happy with it. My stylist did an amazing job and she even took the time to teach me how to curl it with a flat iron. In reality I probably still won't be able to do it haha but I'll try! Anyway, here it is!

I'm really happy with how it came out. I was worried about cutting it and she was more conservative with the length than I was... I kept on telling her to go shorter, haha! I figured if I was going to do it I had to do it. It's a bit shorter in the back than in the front and I just love it. So I'm really glad that I decided to do it and get rid of my security blanket. 

That's all I have for you today! Happy Friday and I hope you all have a great weekend!
