Day 2 of "Beef and Beans" went pretty well, but of course last night was gaming, which meant overindulgence (on apples, almonds...and M&Ms) and an inability to exercise between work and dinner and gaming. Otherwise, the diet's been ok, even though I've been going low and staying low after meals: beans don't have as many carbs as bread, and I'm still working out ratios.
Sleep last night was terrible. I dreamed Matt had died and woke up crying, which he noticed; I apparently then didn't let go of him all night. My other dreams were really vivid, too, but I don't remember much of them (besides an episodic and epic face-off between Matt's southern-speaking female relatives and my battalion of Minnesotan aunts).
For day 3 I have apple slices, leftover brisket paired with crumbled turkey bacon and the inevitable red beans for lunch, and the first day of bean farts. I'm going to start feeling sorry for my coworkers soon, I know. Tonight I'm going to the gym for some good, long cardio, then I'll come back and pop in the Shred DVD while Matt's at physical therapy.
I also get my new insulin pump today....! W00t, upgrade and new warranty!
Tomorrow I'm off to MN, where I'm hoping to be able to stick to the diet and get some walks in with Mom, who I know won't mind the company.
