Numbers are better than the day

 Breakfast:
Crispix cereal
Glass of OJ

Morning snack:
A LOT of Hersey's chocolate

Lunch:
A really yummy salad (hummus and peppers) that my amazing wife made from the real appeal recipes... it was awesome

Snack:
Cheeto puffs (way too many)

Dinner:
Meat loaf
Sugar snap peas

So - if I didn't have the snacks, today would have been awesome.  But I did, so that's not any good.

I guess if i avoid eating tonight, that's not bad.  I might want to try to work out after now, which would improve my score.  I want to tomorrow to be a really good day.  I'm technically off work (although, I will be working a lot).  I'm going to go to the doctor too, which is good for me.

But if i can focus on eating well AND working out, it will be a great day.

Good news - I'm now 5-2 over the last 7 days.

I guess if I diary my food now, I'll be ok?

I can't quire remember what I had.

Breakfast:

- Small bowl of Crispix + OJ

Snack:

- A bunch of Salted Carmal Corn Puffs (waaay too many)

Lunch

- Medditeranian Salad from Panera

... then had to ruin it with..

- Left over shepard's pie

Dinner:

- 3 tacos - put waay too much cheese on them

Late night:

- A ton of sugar snap peas

- A klondike bar

...

So - just too much food.  The morning snack was really bad.  Too big of servings with my meals - could have done without the late night snacks.

It was a long day - basketball practice and then a lot of work.

I need to do better.

My dog ate my homework

That's the best I can come up with.  I have no excuse.  I've needed to lose weight for years and I keep on putting it off.  Just a few Guinness for a Notre Dame game.  A little desert with room service won't hurt, right?  It's been a long week, I could use a beer.  I'm up late working, some food will help me think better.

My dog at my homework.

Even if true, it's just not good enough.

So, I'm going to try again.  I'm going to bring back the scores. But, I'll restart. 0-0 with a first game of today.  I'm only counting today b/c I would lose the last two days (I know, no excuses) and I don't want to start 0-2.

I am also doing something called Real Appeal.  It's a program that my work is sponsoring.  I need to get more into it.  I'm hoping blogging will help kick start me.

So - to today:

Not great, but an ok start.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

As for food:

Breakfast:

- I had a half of a brownie (from last night) and a half of a donut (free donuts after mass)

Lunch:

- I had a Panera Mediterranean salad and two rolls.  I bought 2 salads so I can have one for lunch tomorrow, and I ate both breads b/c I knew it wouldn't be good for tomorrow

- I had a half of a yeast roll

Dinner:

Three slices of thin crust, cheese papa johns (large pizza)

Some I dipped in garlic sauce.  I at the crust of a pizza slice too

I had a piece of a brownie

Embarrassingly, this is a pretty good day for me with food.  I only at at meals and didn't eat anything late.  I had a salad at lunch.  So I guess there's some good.

This is going to be a tough slog.  I hope I can do it this time.

 

I am back

It's been awhile.  But I'm back.  I'm going to start tracking again today.  Maybe this will be the time.
