Bring Me to Life

This day has had it's ups and downs, I guess. I woke up feeling pretty depressed really because I felt like I had no reason to get out of bed. I laid there for about an hour because there was just nothing to get up for...and it was depressing. No plans with friends, no boyfriend that wanted to spend the day with me, nothing.... I hate getting up and going to work, but at least it gives me some feeling of purpose. But it sucks to look forward to the weekend all week and then when it gets here, I realize that it just means more time to realize how alone I feel.

The last couple of months, I've solved this problem with food. I woke up bored and lonely with no plans for the day. So I entertain myself by making a big breakfast or going out to get a donut or something. There was definitely temptation to do that today, but I didn't. I'm quite proud of myself for that.

The one positive of not having plans was there was nothing to interfere with working out. I ran 35 minutes on the treadmill and did weights and abs. I did end up making some plans to watch a couple of movies with some friends, which was fun, but I still ended up back in my apartment at 8:00 with nothing to do for the rest of my Saturday night. And the only people I can think of to try to do something with are either working or have plans with someone else. Oh well.

Breakfast: Carrot juice. Lunch: Avocado salad and a sweet potato. Dinner: Cabbage and tomato salad, chicken with mushrooms, spinach, and goat cheese. Snacks: Dark chocolate.
