Ever Have Those Days...

...when you really, truly mean well, but it just doesn't come together? That's me today. I was in such a groove with my meal plan and somehow, I just lost it. It started yesterday when I didn't write everything down. I didn't eat anything bad. I just lost track of my meals...which means I didn't plan...which sorta (well, ok definately) means I planned to fail. I'm not sure if I ate 5-6 meals yesterday and I'm not sure if I got enough protein in. So, today the ship went furuter off course. I got up and really just didn't have an appetite. I ate a homemade protein cereal bar from a batch I made a couple days ago. My son had an appointment for a hair cut and my mother-in-law came with us to do a little shopping. I was in a bit of a rush and forgot to eat before we left OR bring any food with me. I didn't panic too much, because I didn't think we'd be gone but an 1.5 tops. Well, my son is the type that everyone he meets says, "Oh, he's sooooo happy!" "Oh, is he always so happy?" "Oh, he's so friendly!" Not today. He screamed bloody murder during his entire haircut. I felt bad, so I let him play with this Thomas the Train play set they have there (it's a kids' only haircut place) before we left. He screamed bloody murder when it was time to go and I had to carry him out kicking and screaming. He was the one kicking & screaming not me. Another 5 min and I would've joined in on the tantrum. My nerves were so frazzled and my blood sugar so low by this point, I totally forgot to buy something to eat while we were in the store. I made sure he had something for the ride home, but MY empty tummy didn't even cross my mind until we were settled in the car. I had people coming to pick up furniture, so I had to shove a peanut butter sandwich in my mouth while I was waiting for them to get here. So, it's 5PM and I've had a homemade cereal bar, a peanut butter on wheat sandwich, a protein shake and lots of coffee today. Not horrible, but not even close to perfect and I'm feeling it. I'm a little grumpy and tired. I'll make my last couple meals tonight really count and get in some fruits & veggies. Then I'll go to bed and start fresh tomorrow! My little guy is sleeping right now. Bless his heart...we all have those days...we grown-ups just can't get away with screaming our heads off in public like a 3 year old can! :)
