Two Bad Stomachs for £2.50
Friday, January 11th, 2008 09:50 amWhen I caved and bought corned beef sandwich filler* the other night, it was a 2-for-£2.50 deal on Tesco Sandwich Fillers: the other one I bought was a seafood cocktail, which I demolished with fresh bread last night.
Then I felt woozy and nauseous, went for a lie-down, couldn't stay awake, had vivid and stressy dreams, and had a bad stomach this morning. I don't feel as headachy or as sick today as I did the morning after the corned beef, but otherwise effects are similar.
Maybe it wasn't the red meat content that upset my stomach. Maybe it was something else ...
It's time I worked out exactly what sets off my stomach: one thing in Tesco's favour is that they list ingredients online. (Just to clarify, I don't think the food items themselves were 'bad' or 'off' or anything: I think that one of the ingredients set off a recurring food-intolerance problem.)
* texture reassuringly un-meaty. I am still not tempted by large slices of dead mammal. Fish is quite fleshy enough.
( For my reference later: ingredients of both )

Pilates and Temptation
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 08:51 amLast night I went to my first Pilates class -- which turned out to be mat-based Pilates rather than the kind that uses medieval torture equipment. It was not what I had expected: more like Iyengar yoga than anything, except gentler, and with New Agey music that kept quoting Saint-Saens. Some of my muscles are complaining, but I found it pretty easy and quite restful.
Last night I also gave into temptation: I had a corned beef sandwich. For some reason (hormonal?) I found myself craving red meat, which I stopped eating ~1996. This morning I feel queasy, headachy and unsettled. Fairly clear cause-and-effect.
Edit to add: I also slept pretty badly and had some weird and unsettling dreams, including one set airside at an American airport where they wouldn't let me leave: high-heeled![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fishlifter came to my rescue with teleporting superpowers. Or maybe that really happened. Who can tell?
This morning I left home in the dark for the first time this year. I've been getting into werk as late as possible, but today had to drop off car for servicing. This 'dawn' thing I have read about is really rather pretty. If only it happened every day*.
So I am in werk early, all set to print and sort barcodes again because the site claims they only received half of the ones we sent before Christmas.
*Lately, 'dawn' seems to involve a slight lightening of the grey. But today it's sunny! Yay!
