Managing the diet

March 4th 2013

Well I got the night line I had applied for at my work. I am excited by apprehensive to, My clinic and I didnt think it was a great idea because nights are really hard on my system and my body. Harder to stay on track and my sleeping and eating are all effected. I am hoping that I have a set schedule now that I will get use to it. I am also grateful its only a temporary line. I started March 1st and it goes to sometime in June. 

Its been really hard to sleep the past few shifts, I got some meletonin but It dosent really do much for me.  I have to change my meals around to and how I am breaking them up. So for march 1st was my highest day this month so far cause I had 2 smoothies and potatoes in the same day. 

Friday I pulled 520.5 mg phe / 1567 calories

Saturday March 2nd : 371.5 mg phe/ 1701 calories

Sunday March 3rd : 417.5 mg phe / 1752 calories 

and so far today I have had 26.5 mg phe / 139 calories. 

I have been trying not to eat till 3 am. Something low protein or fruits and veggies, then bettermilk at 5 am and then nothing till after I get home and sleep, so dinner with cole when I wake up.  Today however though I didnt make it to 3 am. Its my friday today which means its my last shift and then I have 2 off. So I am super hungry and ended up eating my low pro sandwich at 1 am. 

I have a pizza pop for later too.

Im trying hard right now working towards my goal of 400 mg phe and between 1500-1800 calories so im really watching what I eat. on my shift  yesterday I made a cambrooke order for the first time since 2011. I wont have alot of time to do my baking and i wanted to try a few new things. I got 2 bags of bagels, artisan bread rolls, cookies and low pro rice. It came to 173 dollars!! cole is going to freak!!! But I tried the Artisan bread as a sandwich at BC PKU Day and it was the first time I have had a low protein sandwich  Normally I find low protien bread to crumbly and dry to eat with out toasting so even thought its tough and I am not sure how i like it yet i am super excited to have a low pro sandwich on my shifts. I just put mircle whip, lettuce, onions and cucumber on it! 

I also am excited to try bagels! 

I wish the Canadian store had more products though I was looking through the american store and they have all the pre made meadly meals and way more variety. I order all my products though SPDC in bc childrens hospital because I mostly eat the APROTEN pasta like rigatini and ditalini , and I have not been able to find it online but cambrooke has it on the American store. In the Canadaian they only have the solo which I do not like. 

well hopefully one day! Untill then I continue to make most of my own foods and order from SPCA. 

 

oh oops! I also orderd a perogi from cambrooke. I usually make my own and i love them but they take along time!! They are so expensive and very small portion so i dont normally buy them but i wanted to try them again. honestly if i had lots of money i would by way more foods though cambrooke. i have never tried the hot dogs and ive only had the camburgers( low protein hambrungers)  once! They are pre made low protein meats!! ( made with mushrooms) they have a big pre made section that id love try one of everything! the pizzas, the pockets, buns, scones, Tweez which are like chicken nuggets and more! I am a picky eater though so am unsure what I would like, I dont want to waste anything so I  havent spent the money. I bet it sure makes life easier though! I have also noticed I like alot more things now then I ever did. 

So I look forward to getting my order! I hope it dosent take to long :) 

Will let you know how I like everything of course :) 

Well thats all for now, have a good night ( day) everyone!
