So, today I did alright. I went to bed at a decent time last night (10:30pm) and fell right asleep and slept quite soundly until 4am or something. I had to get up and pee, but then went back to bed and slept quite soundly again until 7am. I tried hitting my snooze button, but Maybelle simply would not have it.
So, I got up and went for a run, and while on my run, I decided it would be a good day to do bear runs because of my meals being so messed up yesterday. That felt great. My legs didn't cramp up quite as badly, and I felt like I got a solid workout in before breakfast.
I did GREAT with all my meals today until 5pm rolled around.
I ate my first meal around 8:45am/9am, because of getting up at the time I did. So, I ate my next meal at 12pm, my next meal at 2:30pm...and then...after work, I headed to the mall because I wanted to give Linsey her treat. She's been choking down this protein shake that she hates like a champ, so I just mixed some of mine (that tastes like vanilla ice cream) to drop it off for her.
Only, I got really tired by that point in the day, and I was avoiding going home because I was afraid I would just fall asleep.
So, I hung out with Linsey at the mall for a little bit, shopped around target for my brother and his girlfriend's baby shower, got a couple of Thank You cards, and then headed to Wegman's. It was around 7pm, and I hadn't eaten since 2:30pm. I was starting to really get hungry, and I was really tired.
Here's where I made my mistake. I somehow convinced myself that Luna Bars would be an acceptable snack to tide me over until I got home. I looked at the wrapper, but was too impatient to read it. When I got in the car, I had to have it NOW. I got one that said Peanut Butter Cookie, and one that said S'mores. I'm sure Amy would say, "YES! That sounds like a perfectly "clean" thing to eat!"
I started eating the Peanut Butter Cookie one and decided I should look to see how much sugar was in it. 11 grams. Oops. I looked at the ingredients. Lots of processed stuff. But I just couldn't seem to convince myself to stop eating it. I convinced myself to slow down, just not stop.
Then, I thought...oh my god, if I had peanut butter right now, I would be eating it by the spoonful. I realized, "Oh crap. I need to buy peanut butter and rice cakes." So, I headed back in the store...or rather DRAGGED myself back into Wegman's to get these two things.
I have to say, part of the reason it was easy to convince myself to eat the Luna Bars was because I was feeling sluggish and decided that my metabolism had probably slowed down because I hadn't eaten in awhile. If I had more information, I bet I would have come up with a better "solution" than eating a LunaBar.
Because as soon as I got in the car, I couldn't save myself from the S'mores Luna Bar. I tried to savor every bite. If I was going to eat it, I figured I might as well let it be as satisfying as possible.
So, I'm finally home. I did eat my fish meal (no more fat, there was plenty of that in the LunaBars), and now I'm utterly exhausted. I'm going to let my food digest while I try to watch something on Netflix, and hopefully I'll be in bed by 10:30pm again tonight. I need it!
For now, I'll drink my tea. But, when I'm ready to go to bed, it's me and the vinegar, ROUND 2.
