Day 4
Yesterday was tough. I felt sluggish all afternoon. Not necessarily physically tired, more mentally exhausted. It was tough to get motivated and actually get any work done. I found myself craving healthy foods – salads, fruit, and basically anything that wasn’t a carb.
I had a massive plate of spaghetti and canned sauce last night for dinner. I was so hungry when I got home that it almost seemed like too much of an effort to cook. When you’re hungry, it’s hard to make good decisions about food. I can understand the temptation to go straight for convenience instead of something nutritious.
My meal wasn’t very exciting, but I felt pretty full after I ate. The strange thing was that I couldn’t fall asleep. I felt this big pile of mush in my stomach and kept tossing and turning for about two hours. I’m exhausted this morning, and it’s been tough not having caffeine to wake me up.
Here are my meals for day 4:
Breakfast: oatmeal (again!)
Lunch: red beans and rice
Dinner: spaghetti, ½ a banana
