frustrating day

Today got off to a very bad start. I woke up and had a handful of almonds (normally my mid-morning snack) because I was very very hungry. I figured inan hour or so I'd go make some scrambled eggs, and then I'd be off to a good start with the diet. Well, that never happened because Inca had to go to the vet for what turned out to be nothing more than getting her claws clipped. She felt much better afterward, and I'm glad I took her. But I was way fatigued afterward and I took a pretty long nap. So I didn't eat my eggs until 3:00, and that's the first time I had any water, too. I did take my vitamins.

I ended up having another almond snack in the early evening, and I decided to go to the store for ingredients for some recipes I found. I wasn't going to do this until tomorrow, but I figured my day was already blown anyway so I may as well get the store trip over with and try to play catch up working on the web site tomorrow. Now it needs it badly anyway because I've decided to quit trying to make it as a Discovery Toys consultant, so I have a lot of updating to do. I may totally revamp the site. Who knows...?

So I got home from the store, and of course I was very hungry. I'm allowed sugar-free fudgesicles on phase 1, so I ate one. And dinner took so long to cook that I ate one more. Don't know if that's cheating or not. I'm probably supposed to limit to one a day. But two sugar-free fudgesicles won't break my detox like a bit of chocolate mint ice cream loaded with sugar would have, so I guess the fact that I resisted the ice cream is a victory.

I did have my salad for dinner, and I'm going to bed even though I feel like this whole day has been way off track. Tomorrow I'll see about cleaning up and vacuuming the bedroom. Thursday I'll clean up the main part of the house, and hopefully Friday I'll get to sorting the mail. But I *DO* need to work on the web site, too. Besides the fact that it needs an update, it makes me feel accomplished and I need that.
