Greetings!  Well every journey has its ups and downs and today my calorie count was up, so tomorrow my weight will surely not be down.  It is at the end of the day and I have learned a couple things…

1)      There are a ton of calories in peanuts and raisins alone, so do not add a soda (even though it is amazingly yummy).

2)      If your spouse has steamed and halved red potatoes in the fridge and you come home from errands starving …DO NOT indulge in them. Look the other direction or shove the nearest celery stick down the hatch for distraction if you have to!

3)      Save your calories for pizza when you know your going to make it because you love it and will likely have 500 plus calories in pizza alone.

Today for whatever reason I just got exhausted and extremely hungry and my mission became a faint voice in my head.  I did not feel tormented or really sorry about my choices until I entered them into my food tracker tool.  Tomorrow is made for better choices but I will inevitably be dealing with today’s consequences because tomorrow is my mid-week weigh in and it cannot be good news.  I will keep my fingers crossed for a “get out of jail free card.” 

Here is what all this rambling is about…1865 calories…only double my target!

Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks
Smoothie w/out banana ½ toast w/ plant butter	½ veggie sandwich 1 red potato w/ ketchup 1 cup potato soup	5 pieces of thin crust homemade pizza (no cheese, w/ veggies) Garden salad w/ ranch	¼ C. raisins ¼ C. peanuts 1 Blue Sky Root Beer made with real sugar

PS- I did get a 2.5 mile run in this morning, which burned about 300 calories.  Thank goodness for running!
