Breakfast
A strange breakfast, to be sure. But it was all stuff that I had on hand and ready to go.
- Baked chicken breast (leftover from a few days ago)
- Banana
- Sauteed onions and peppers
- Probiotic yogurt shot (1 pt)
I was alone in the office and I got a little psycho.
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch - 10 points
- Corn dog - 5 pts
I considered doing something extremely light or skipping dinner altogether but decided that it would be counter-productive in the long run. Instead, I set about to do something nice for myself as a way to unwind and put the day behind me. I broke out my cast iron grill pan and broiled the steak. (I'm still getting the oven-grilling thing worked out. I didn't quite get these right but I'm getting better. Should have used the Broil High setting instead of the Broil Low.) During the last minutes of cooking, I tossed the broccoli in the steamer, slid the cookie sheet of plantains in, and plunked the peaches down on the grill next to the steak. Everything was wonderful but the grilled peaches were phenomenal. They'd be lovely with raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.- Filet of Beef

Summary
Everything up to 2:00 or so was a whirlwind. I let myself get too caught up in the stress. As much as I can regret the cereal and corn dog debacle, it did serve a purpose. For the first time, I caught myself and thought "what are you doing?" Ordinarily I'd have probably kept going after the 2nd bowl of cereal--knowing full well that I was sabotaging my efforts--and beat myself up emotionally over it later. I find myself thinking about that episode a little more objectively. Maybe I'm finally at a place where I can leave that particular demon behind.
