Monday

Ugh.  We had an extended-family workday yesterday and my Mom made chile for lunch - with beans.  I should avoid beans.  I'm suffering this morning from them - and have been since about 1 am.  Not a good night's sleep - the stomach ache and hot flashes combined to make it a challenge to get back to sleep after waking at 1.  No breakfast today.  I'm swollen up from the work and abnormal food - 148.6 this morning.  I'd been 146.6 both Saturday and Sunday.  Here's yesterday's eats:

• bacon
• tea with cream
• only the menopause supplement
• chile (with beans)
• a ham-and-cheese roll-up, no bread involved
• pickles and olives
• grapes
• cheese
• walnuts
• 1 square Lindt 85%
• pork tenderloin with a wine-dijon pan sauce
• green beans
• trail mix - an experiment made of almonds, coconut shreds, raisins, and dark chocolate M&Ms - probably too much of it

So not a great eating day, and I'm paying for it - or some of it, anyway.  We will be going to the gym and eating better this week, I believe.
