Two days in a row on snacks & desserts.  Not bad at all!  That was a tough one for me and always will be.  I was very tempted to have a glass of wine tonight too.  Maybe I need to look at wine as a meal-substitute and night and let that count if I really go skinny on dinner.

Although, as great as the 5-2 was, it is a little misleading in my eating performance.  I had 2 4" square cuban sandwiches for dinner.  I probably should have kept it to 1 or 1.5.  At lunch, I had one of my meals (a very yummy veggie pizza), but had a few bites of leftover meatloaf.  And, at breakfast - instead of using just the provided rasberry compote for my wheat pancakes, I added some syrup too.

So, the food was good, but not great.  I'm also stretched pretty thin with work now, so the late night last night and long day today, kept me from working out.

I suppose, today is a good model for a "busy day".  I didn't get the workout in, lost out on sleep, but didn't blow it anywhere else.  In football, sometimes a QB just needs to throw the ball away.  Perhaps that is what I accomplished today.

Here's a deal - if I can make tomorrow my first 7-0 day, on Friday, I can break the drinking rule if I work out.  I know this is cheating a bit, but I think it is ok :)

Oh - and my weigh in sucked.  How did i gain 3 pounds in 24 hours?  Perhaps downing two glass of water before the weigh in so I could get a water point hurt me there.
