To say I am excited about these new soups (from Whole Foods) would be an understatement…

Mmmmmmm! This goes right along with my soup-heavy diet quite well.

So far I have only tried the Garden Tomato flavor – I’m eating some of it now in fact – and it’s very, very good.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but Whole Foods is simply my favorite food/grocery store EVER. It’s even better than Trader Joe’s.

In other news, I’ve begun my latest antibiotics regime. It’s Augmentin, which is a strong version of Amoxicillin and another drug. It makes me very nauseated and dizzy, but I’m dealing with it. And in combination with hydrocodone, which I’m taking for pain, is a real bag o’ fun. (NOT). For some reason this round of Tonsillitis has been very painful – my neck/throat glands were hurting so bad the other day that it nearly brought me to tears.

Hydrocodone (which is Vicodin and Lortab in generic form) is a narcotic painkiller that some people can get addicted to. Oddly enough instead of making me tired, it actually gives me strange OCD-like behavior. After taking one, I sometimes feel the strangest urge to obsessively clean my apartment or do some grueling and tedious website work. I wonder why it does this to me? About 30 minutes after taking one this morning, I cleaned my bedroom from top to bottom and then organized my book collection. I recall that Percocet (Oxycodone) did this to me too when I was taking it after some oral surgery. Interesting…

Anyway, I’m going to keep up with the vitamins, healthy eating and healthy sleeping hours and I am confident that I will kick this damn infection once and for all!

Quick Update

in Product Reviews, Updates

Just a quick update… I’m still a bit under the weather. Eating lighter than usual (1 to 2 medium meals a day, which I tend to do while sick). I may hit the doctor’s tomorrow but I am dreading the possibility that they will probably want to put me on more antibiotics. But something’s gotta be done.

I am looking forward to getting on the scale in a few days though because I am certain that I have lost a little more weight, perhaps a couple more pounds. I will have to wait until my TOM is over.

I have started drinking these ^^^ shakes every day or two. (Got a bunch of sample packs at Whole Foods). They are extremely healthy and full of vitamins. Click here the vitamin, mineral and superfood content. Although the shake is green-colored, it’s not bad tasting – better than the chocolate GNC shakes, in fact!

What I Had For Breakfast Today

Hey you all! I’ve decided to start doing product and food reviews here, given the fact that I like trying out fresh and organic foods and products. So here is my first product review…

This new Kashi cereal, called Honey Sunshine, tastes really good! It’s a little on the sweet side and tastes a lot like Captain Crunch cereal with a dash of honey. The texture is not as crunchy as Captain Crunch, though – instead it’s a bit chewier.

Best of all, it has 6 grams of fiber, 100 calories for 3/4 of a cup, and only 6 grams of sugar per serving.

Mmmmmmmm.
