Day 19--Bad Day

This has been a terrible day. It started out okay, but it ended terribly.

BREAKFAST
As per the usual, I enjoyed my fruit bowl.

LUNCH
Lunch today was supposed to be hearty vegetable-miso soup. I cooked some of it, but was missing half of the ingredients. Mom planned to go to the store to pick up the missing ingredients for the soup, the basic shopping that we couldn't do yesterday, and to pick up some food for dinner.

Due to some drama, I ended up not eating lunch. I took my supplements as scheduled, though.

DINNER
Since mom and I did not really want to have another go at baked tempeh, we did something different. Strictly speaking, it isn't on the plan. We really shouldn't have eaten it since there was gluten in it and this week we are supposed to be eating gluten and grain free. Yet since mom made the effort to get them to appease people, we decided to eat it.

Meal 57 of 63:

Mediterranean roasted beets

baked tempeh

coconut collard greens

vegan veggie burger

salsa, avocado, tomato, and lettuce

It was delicious. That veggie burger was amazing. I made a little pocket out of the lettuce, and it was fabulous. I easily could have eaten another--all too easily. After scarfing it down, however, I was still hungry. Stephanie had been trying to get me to eat all afternoon, but I couldn't. She had a great idea, however, to eat a little of the vegetable-miso soup to top off my dinner. Seeing this was an excellent idea, I did that, and it was just enough. When 30 minutes passed, I drank some water and was content.

----------------------------

Like yesterday, this day has been emotionally draining. I had an acorn squash thrown at me, and it hit my hip in the right spot. Don't ask because the story isn't worth rehashing yet again. It hurts to walk, and I can't put pressure on my left side. As I've been walking all afternoon and evening, I started favoring my right side, and now I have a splitting pain on the top side of my arch on my right foot.

Thank you, Brandon, for helping me see the humor in "getting squashed" today.

This was a lousy weekend, and I know that this will be a lousy week. The intentions I had for this week have changed, and now I don't exactly know what to do. Looks like I have more free time now.

Only two days left, and I already know I'm going to miss this.
