Well here I am, back on the wagon, and hopefully to stay this time! I know yesterday I said maybe my dieting skills were weaker in the winter, when I don't need to be in sundresses or swimsuits ... but that time is fast approaching whether I like it or not, so I need to get back in line here.

Breakfast
Yogurt - Fiber One, Strawberry
Banana

Mid Morning Snack
Protein Bar - Balance Bar Carb well

Lunch
Smart Ones - Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli

Mid Afternoon Snack
Orange
Ritz's Crackerfuls

Dinner
Home made penne a la vodka (home made sauce too!)
Garlic bread made with a wheat loaf

After dinner
Left over valentines day candy - 4 pieces


Thought on this day ... I did well until dinner. I know I should get back on the Activia yogurts, but they freaking taste like chalk. The Balance Bar is not as good for me as the Zone Perfect bars... but it's almost as good, and it's consistency is easier to eat. Lunch is alright, I prefer the 3 cheese ziti to the alfredo, but the store was out when I went. I like the Ritz crackerful packs better than 100 calorie snack packs. Sure there is only one cracker and it has 130 calories, but it is somehow more satisfying. Oranges are always good. Dinner was HELLA fattening... but I love cooking and this is one of my favorite things to make. Cooking calms me down the way yoga calms some people down. It brings me back to center. I made myself a deal by getting the Smart Taste pasta, which is made with whole grains and wheat bread for the garlic bread... but still, it had more calories than the rest of the day combined. And I really wish we (Re: MARC) would finish off the candy so I stop picking at it at night.

Also, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, need to start exercising. I own a Wii, with a Wii fit... maybe I need you all to start belittling me each day that I don't work out. I always work out more under pressure. I used to live with a girl who dragged me to the gym all the time, and I was in much better shape then.
