Accountability

Hi, kids. In an effort to hold myself more accountable, I'm telling you what I consumed yesterday.

Before I do that, an aside - as you may have gathered from previous comments, I am going through a very difficult breakup right now. That's all I'll say about it, but my method of handling stress (eating, not sleeping, not working out, watching bad television) is not good. I'm trying to change that.

Yesterday was an OK day. I made a smoothie in the morning and had that at work. I had some coffee, but not much. I drank water. All good things. I also had about 5 pills of Aleve because I had a migrane the size of New Jersey. Ended up leaving work early, talking to family, getting emotional, and then having a fairly appropriate lunch / dinner. So, in total:

Breakfast Smoothie (strawberry peach, yums)
3-ish Mini Snickers bars (why do I buy candy for my desk, WHY???)
Southwest Chicken Soup
An entire unidentified melon that has been sitting in my refrigerator for about two weeks (it was a very small unidentified melon)
Some fibrous, wheat free crackers
An apple

And I think that's actually it. While I know this isn't exactly balanced, it's a vast improvement from my eating habits of the last few weeks. I didn't work out, again, my brain was attempting to crawl out my ears and I spent a couple of hours on the phone with family and friends, trying to determine why life is so cruel to an unsuspecting, sometimes-undisciplined-but-overall-good-person such as myself. Boo-frickedy-hoo.

Today, I've started out with a nutritious breakfast of four-ish mini Snickers bars and coffee. Ugh. I did bring my last slice o' breakfast bake with me, though, so I'll have that in oh, 45 minutes or so when the Snickers have settled. I have a lunch date with a girlfriend, which should be pretty healthy. Later, I intend to either work out or clean my apartment, maybe both. We'll see. Wish me luck.
