One of those days

It's not even 1:00 pm yet and I can tell, it's one of those days. 

I woke up half-way before my alarm went off, got ready for work while watching all of the incredibly sad news coverage about the poor people in Oklahoma, this damned cough won't go away, and I'm just cranky tired.  It's times like this I want to kick my own butt, but I know I'm too tired to care enough to do it!

I also realized today that I can buy all of the healthy food in the world, but if I don't get my life together, it's not going to do any good.  Granted, we got home from the store later last night than usual, and it took time to get the new groceries situated and all, but my food today at work is simply pitiful! My sleepy mind this morning only grabbed HALF of both my breakfast and my lunch.  So, I didn't get all of my protein in (well, if you combine breakfast and lunch I had one meal's worth), and I completely left my carrots at home. 

Epic. Fail.

I've always been the girl that throws a lunch together in the morning, or just says "forget it" and and goes to Subway or somewhere like that instead.  Shocker, right?  (I blame my mother.  That beautiful woman packed my lunches THROUGH high school, complete with napkin notes and e'rethang, so I never started the habit) But with this new un-diet, (that's what I'm going to call it, I guess) I can't really do that.  I have to PLAN.  It's going to be a pain in the butt to get used to I'm sure, but there's really no other way.  I'm supposed to get so much protein at each meal, so much starch carbs and veg carbs, etc, and at this point in the game I can't just magic it all together at the last minute.  I'm simply not there yet, which is totally fine and to be expected.  Maybe I'll become that super-hero OCD chick and start meal planning like some people I know do.  I'm not going to hold my breath on that, but there's a chance.  I'd be happy with just getting together my breakfast and lunch for work the night before.  That will be a big step that will make a HUGE difference for me, I think.  We'll see!

On another note, today was also a day that I knew that I needed to write.  If I hadn't looked down at my sub-par salad and griped to myself about my poor planning today, I wouldn't have known what to write about, and that can get really frustrating.  Writers block sucks a big one, if you have never experienced it, you're truly lucky.  That's why I'm asking you this: if any of you readers (if there really are any of you!!) can think of something that you would like me to address, a question you have or want my opinion on, or something that you think I need to think about for myself or would help me, would you let me know?  You can message me on FB, or leave a message on here (I'm pretty sure you can do it anonymously), or just let me know when we see or talk to each other.  I'm no Dear Judy, but sometimes if I'm blocked, but still feel the NEED to write, it helps when I have a topic that comes from somewhere other than my own hectic mind.
