GI Day Seventeen

I woke up exhausted from all the paperwork and organizing I did yesterday, and I was incredible stressed and overwhelmed because I had so much schoolwork to do that I couldn't see my family for Easter. As I dragged myself around through the day, I really grew to resent this fact, and eventually I just blew it.

Breakfast

• oatmeal with blueberries, soy nuts, cinnamon & Splenda
• egg white omelet with green pepper, onion & low-fat Cheddar cheese
• green tea with Splenda

I do love this breakfast, but I wasn't as satisfied this time as usual. I think hormonally, my body just wants more calories this time of the month or something because as soon as I finished, I was in the mood for something else.


Lunch

• beef and cheese tacos with salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado & fresh cilantro
• green grapes

I did not eat right away and instead made myself work for four hours between meals, but I wasn't happy about it. Literally, all day, I was thinking about what I was going to make for my next meal. We didn't have enough groceries in the house to really put together a substantive dinner, and as I fretted about where I would find a grocery that was open, I found myself really struggling to concentrate on my work.


Dinner

• Papa John's pizza (not pictured)

I made the conscientious and appalling decision that I was just not bothering with the diet anymore. I was annoyed about missing Easter to do work, I was mad at myself for not buying groceries sooner, and I was stressed about how I could even afford all this expensive food anymore seeing as I was worrying about how to come up with this month's rent.

Basically, I sabotaged myself, and woefully disregarded all the "progress" I was making in favor of doing whatever I wanted so I could concentrate on my work.

I'm not proud, and I wish I could say I rebounded, but as you'll see, I didn't.
