So it seems I have swapped that full, glutinous, swollen feeling for a migraine and absolutely no freakin' energy. Grr.
TJ gave me some Ibuprofen about ten minutes ago and a steamy mug of lemon tea.
He's the best.
Admittedly, I have thought about Robin's Nest two times … now three …and then I laugh at myself with utmost disappointment.
Am I really pouting about food?
Yes.
Ok, I know Robin's Nest isn't just about the 'food' … after all, it is the restaurant that people swoon over when you mention going there … it's the ambiance, the victorian charm, eclectic decor … and then the deliciously, creative, and eruptive culinary experience.
Plus, the gift card has no expiration date. Perhaps this will be a nice way to celebrate a date night once I reach week 6 post-op.
No, I'm not 'doing it again' by rewarding myself with food … I don't know if I ever really did that. Realistically speaking, my husband and I enjoy fine dining … my old 'normal' may be gone, but that is what this is all about … out with the old, in with the new … a new normal.
Protein first, followed by veggies, then the grains.
Nothing to drink while I enjoy my meal.
See … I'm getting the hang of this … perhaps tonight I should make that chart. My very own play by play, week by week, summary of what I can and cannot do or have.
The 'planner' in me is itching to do something productive!
Stay tuned!
