Full disclosure, I am writing this on Friday.  I got home super-late from work because of traffic.

BREAKFAST:
Coffee with cream and splenda - 100 Cal
LUNCH:
Taco Bell - fresco chicken burrito - 350 Cal (which I will never have again - it has 1.3 GRAMS of sodium and it tasted awful - but I have tried their fresco tacos, and while those are salty too, they are better than this)
SNACK:
Granola Bar: 90 Cal
DINNER:
1.5 oz Lamb Chop
Salad with 2 oz Feta Cheese and a Pita - 1 oz Italian Dressing
SNACK:
2 pieces cinnamon raisin toast

Gym - none, but a 30 min walk with the dog through the snow.  I wasn't wearing my monitor, but it was pretty vigorous.  I also completely bailed out on starting my push-up, squat, crunches routine.

Today was a rough day.  I made a few bad diet choices.  I didn't overeat, per se, but the choices were still bad.  One of the traps I need to avoid is the mini-quit.  Where I 'take a break' from the diet and exercise for a few days.  Seriously, 1-2 bad days can ruin a week or two's worth of work.  I need to have better vigilance.  I need to pay more attention to where my head is and where my emotions are taking me.  Frustrated?  Bored?  Anxious?  Food is not the answer anymore.  I also need to think about why I don't spend 5 minutes doing exercises before bed.  It's a form of mini-quit.  I'm avoiding failure, avoiding embarrassment, avoiding everything by not starting.  Well, as long as I keep writing about it, I can't avoid it, so I might as well get the work done.
