Right.

I want to want to be healthy. But I think I just like pie too much.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to get motivated?

What I ate today:

1/4 of a bagel, toasted with butter

fresh fruit

two mini pastries, one of which I decided was gross so I didn't eat it after the first bite

1/2 giant streusel-topped muffin

leftover hot and sour soup (with crunchies)

half a serving of mu-shu chicken

several slices of beef with broccoli

three cookies (glutton!)

and, of course, diet Coke

guacamole and chips

several bites of a vegan black bean and rice burrito

Disaster!

First things first: Daily Weigh In - 225.4 lbs.

I knew things weren't going to go well when the first thing I wanted this morning was sugar. Breakfast was a plain bagel, half with cream cheese and the other half with butter.

Ok, that's not as bad as it could have been, you're thinking, right?

Yeah, just wait.

At lunch all hell broke loose:

some sort of smothered chicken with

artichoke hearts

followed by a mini croissant with butter

cobb salad

a walnut brownie

an oatmeal cookie

AND a diet Coke. You know, 'cause it has fewer calories.

Then 2 mini Almond Joys

Dinner was a little more on track:

Cobb Salad

At least I walked home from work.

grilled ham and cheese on cranberry walnut bread

small bag Cheez-its ( I love those things)

diet Coke

grilled shrimp caesar salad

two mini Almond Joys

one raspberry tootsie pop

Well, I did ok till the end there.

Back to 226.

Also, still boring. Sorry.

All I want to eat is watermelon and guacamole. Not together. Just one right after the other.

Maybe it is just because it has been so hot and those are really refreshing foods. It is a bit of an odd combination of cravings. But soooo tasty. Eating soy crisps for dinner, as I'm not really hungry for anything. Except guac and watermelon, which I already had for lunch.

My god this blog is boring. Whose idea was this? I'd better start doing some crazy things like going on wild diets (no thank you) or picking up smoking as a diet aid (as if coffee doesn't make me crazy enough).

Ok, well, my job is certainly helping in my quest to drop some weight. I was stuck at court yesterday trying to deal with that same judge as before, and I was only able to have a bottle of water for lunch. In the meantime, he kept me running from office to office, floor to floor to try to get another order signed. No wonder I dropped half a pound yesterday. Which I will put back on by finishing this stupid bag of soy crisps.

I just ate 420 calories. And some grapes.

At least it wasn't an entire bag of cheetohs and some birthday cake.
