What a day.

Yesterday was long and frustrating. I went in early for an 8am presentation (hence the bagel). Then I went to a site visit to a really cool organization, but our guide talked so much that I didn't have time to eat before my next class. I passed an Arby's on the way and decided to get a quick salad. I was starving by this time (it was about 1pm). I got to class at 1:30 and opened my salad. What a disappointment. I was expecting nice greens, grape tomatoes, chunks of grilled chicken, and hard boiled egg. What I got was iceberg lettuce, slivers of tomato and onion, lunchmeat chicken and some shredded cheese. I finished it and was still starving. 

I had planned on going to the gym after class but I couldn't work out with my stomach still feeling like that. So I went to the student convenience store and bought a big thing of edamame. Oh my gosh sweet glorious protein. I felt so much better. I met my friend and he showed me thigh exercises, but by the time he was done, I only had 15 minutes to work out before my next meeting. So, I walked for 5 minutes on the treadmill (just to get used to a treadmill- they usually scare me!). Then I did 10 minutes of the machines.

After my meeting, when I got home, I started working on a project that is a favor for a friend. I wasn't hungry at all because of all the edamame. I worked for about 2-3 hours only to get a text later that half of my work had been in vain. I was pretty angry, so I called a friend to vent and put some liquor in my tea. I still wasn't that hungry but didn't want to be starving in the morning, so I had a few (what I thought were) little things. 

I tried to make the best choices I could today, but it didn't really work out. At least today is the last day of the week and I know that I won't go over my points.
