I’ve had this bento container laying around for a while and figured it’s time I use it a bit more often than usual. Since coming back from Vacation I’ve been such a sloth, but yesterday I spent my evening buying groceries, cleaning up and re-organizing my apartment. Life feels a lot better when it’s a bit more organized. I also packed my lunch for the long day at work today.
I brought some green bell peppers and hummus dip, strawberries, blueberries, and Activia yogurt with a Babybel Lite snack. Not picture: a handful of cashews and baby carrots.
I’ve got a concert to attend this evening after work as well so I hope all of this food tides me over. I was almost scared I brought too much, but now I’m thinking I didn’t bring enough! Today is a busy day, and I just realized that I haven’t eaten any meat in the last couple days! An accidental vegetarian these last few days, and I feel okay with that.
I also donated blood today and ate a nutrigrain bar to curb my hunger afterward. Whenever I donate blood I’m always scared that my iron count will be too low. A few times I’ve been turned away for low iron, and almost rejected for low blood pressure. Thank goodness for multivitamins, because without them I wouldn’t have been able to donate my blood! It’s important for me to give blood because of the sense of satisfaction it provides me. I’ve also learned that I have a rare antigen in my blood, so if anyone needs a transfusion and their antibodies fight off the wrong blood cells, my antigens can help!
On my way to better health!
