Man was I sloshy last night. Drinks + chocolate + pizza made for a stomachache that lasted well into the night. I couldn’t sleep on my stomach in fear the water balloon would pop!
Needless to say the pumpkin smoothie I had planned for today was probably the last thing my stomach wanted this morning! No more expansion! I need to remember to listen to how I feel more these days. I have not been paying attention.
What did sound good? APPLES!
With toast and peanut butter, pumpkin butter, banana
And coffee, cause it was already brewing!
Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday to your dad!
Happy Birthday to Dad KERF!! Hope you have a great day Kath!
Happy Bday KERF Dad!
Apples are my favorite snack, however I am waiting with bated breath on that pumpkin smoothie, sounds delish!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE!
happy birthday to your dad!! And any bread you ever have on here looks so delicious…I want it! I have pumpkin butter, apple butter, and sweet potato butter that my aunt is bringing me from the nc mountains..cannot wait to have it!
I hear you! I can’t eat too much (especially junk food) these days or I’ll suffer for it later!
I find it is best just to eat what I’m craving (within reason) and listen to my body!
Happy Birthday to your dad! I am so with you. I am definitely listening to what my body is asking for lately and I feel so much better for it!
Ha, I DEFINITELY had a water balloon night on Saturday. Ugh. It’s just so hard to remember “water balloon syndrome” when you’re in the moment, looking at all that delicious food!
I’m a little bloaty myself from last night’s authentic Mexican feast at a friend’s house. Oy.
I hate the feeling I wake up with when I’ve overindulged at night. I usually don’t want breakfast, which stinks because I look forward to it so much!
You look like your dad!
oh water balloon syndrome…we all do it to ourselves…it’s gross everytime…but we still do it…
Happy birthday to your dad!
I ate a ton yesterday and for some reason woke up STARVING!!
Happy birthday to your dad!
I hate going to bed with a not so happy tummy – hopefully it will feel better today!
Aw happy birthday to your Dad! My dad’s was yesterday on Halloween
Ugh…hate that bloated stomach feeling! Your breakfast looks stellar though.
Happy Birthday to the Dad!
Sounds like a food baby to me! That is the worst. Try and make it fun by naming your food baby and deciding which college he/she will go to. Nooo, it still sucks
Happy Birthday to your Dad!
A simple breakfast is perfect recovery for a full-tummy
Awww! What a great photo!
That breakfast looks so good!
Happy Birthday to your dad
I’m with you… I need to start paying attention a little bit more also. I also had a stomach ache last night from junk food. Your toast with pumpkin butter looks so good!
Happy birthdayto your dad! I had apples this morning too. Yum
happy birthday KERF dad!
Happy birthday to KERF Dad!! I’ve been trying to be more aware of how I feel lately too. It’s hard to focus on hunger levels when there’s a lot of delicious food around!
When you have these overindulging stomach aches, a good remedy is apple cider vinegar. The raw, orange-colored kind, that has stuff floating in the bottle. Take a tablespoon by itself, or put it in a glass with water. Apple cider vinegar neutralizes the stomach and stomach acids, and is excellent if you’ve eaten too much, or had too much fat, too much salt, etc. And it’s very healthy for the body.
And Happy Birthday to your Dad.
Happy Birthday to your Dad!
A Big Happy B-Day to your Dad! Sorry you had a belly ache into the night:( Hope you’re feeling tons better today and your breakfast toast looks really good:)
I tracked down some pumpkin butter at a Trader Joe’s this weekend! I am so on board. It is awesome.
I always crave fruit when I’m thirsty, especially after overdoing it.
Happy birthday to your dad! Today is my aunt’s birthday, too.
They do say that fruit is the best thing to start your day with!
For me, not being hungry for breakfast= one of the worst things ever!

Do you have any good suggestions on website for the nutrition calculators?
Thanks and have a great day!

An apple sounded great to me this morning too!
Happy Birthday to KERF dad!
Just thought you might want to try I made my first bowl of KERF banana oats this morning – topped with hazlenuts! SO good!
The Day-After-Halloween-Stomachache: I know it well!
Happy birthday to Daddy KERF! I’m sorry you had a stoamchache last night – my stomach was definitely a balloon this morning because of all the salted pumpkin seeds I ate. Thank goodness for dresses & leggings!
Thanks for all the birthday greetings y’all.
I felt the same way this morning.. Oh Halloween candy.
So much chocolate last night. I fell asleep with a very unfamiliar sugar-overdose-tummy-ache last night. Tasty, but I’m glad it doesn’t happen often!
Happy Birthday KERFDad!
I felt the same bloaty feeling yesterday after we had sunday dinner. I hate that. So uncomfortable.
Looks delicious and I understand what you mean about a very full belly, no fun.
Happy birthday to your dad!
I had that water balloon feeling after doing all-you-can-eat sushi this weekend. I just can’t say no to unlimited sushi!!
Happy Birthday to your dad! Hope he has a wonderful day!
Hi Kath!
I used to frequently read your blog a couple years (you probably don’t remember, bit I was the one who entered the picture of the cow eating oats for a contest you hosted)
But Ive been so busy this past year with brain surgery that I stopped reading.
Glad to see you’re still doing well!
Happy birthday to your dad
Thanks for stopping back by
Hope things are well
