Atkins, Day Fourteen

I'm not sure why, but I woke up in a terrible mood. I kept snapping at my boyfriend and felt like I couldn't concentrate on anything. We ended up getting in a huge fight, and I think my crankiness was a huge part of that.

My boyfriend went to the grocery in the morning, then I went in the afternoon because I thought he didn't get anything substantive, mostly snack foods. It's probably obvious from today's foods that when we have a lot of options, we graze all day.

• 12:25 pm - fresh mozzarella marinated in olive oil and herbs, 12 oz can diet cherry chocolate fudge soda


• 5:30 pm - turkey and pepper jack roll-ups, 16 oz Diet Dr Pepper, 12 oz diet cherry chocolate fudge soda


• 6:20 pm - CarbSmart rocky roadice cream, piece of mozzarella, 2 slices beef bologna


• 8:35 pm - 16 oz Diet Dr Pepper


• 9:20 pm - Wendy's double melt mushroom bacon cheeseburger with some kind of Parmesan sauce, 16 oz Diet Dr Pepper


• 10:10 pm - 3 pieces mozzarella, 4 slices beef bologna


• 1:30 am - 16 oz Diet Dr Pepper


• 3:50 am - bologna & Cheddar roll-ups, CarbSmart rocky road ice cream, 12 oz cherry chocolate cordial soda

We had a friend over in the afternoon, and he joined us in the grazing. It's a bit weird explaining to someone that we have pounds of deli meat but nothing for them to eat it on. He went nuts for the low-carb ice cream, though, and ate probably four or five servings to each one of ours.

I ended up staying up all night rearranging the furniture in our apartment, which worked up quite a sweat. I don't know if it technically counts as exercise, but it felt good to use my muscles.
