Now, I know I'm going to fall off the wagon tonight, because I have two birthday celebrations to go to, and one involves dinner out. And if I'm going to buy food at a restaurant, I am certainly not going to purchase the diet option.

Weight today 179lbs - still ick

Breakfast
Apple
Activia Light Yogurt - Raspberry

Lunch
Smart Ones - Pasta Primavera

Mid afternoon snack
Hot pretzel w/mustard (made fresh at the biergarten)

Dinner
Fig and Cheese plate
Bread
Coconut Curry Pasta (the small portion)
(All from New World Bistro - sooooo tasty!)

After dinner
6 beers - Bud light

A bad day for dieting, but a good day for birthdays, and tasty, tasty food. No exercise or yoga today, but I did buy batteries today to put in the Wii fit next week... so that should help the exercise situation.

Well we've narrowly avoided a Friday the 13th for this month. That being said, here goes nothing.

Breakfast
Banana

No yogurt, because I have to work at the Home Depot this morning, and that stuff is hard to eat on the go.

Mid morning snack
Zone bar, dark chocolate mocha

These things really help me get through the morning.

Lunch
Salad - spinach, red leaf lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, 2tbsp 1000 island
Soup - Campbell's soup-to-go New England clam chowder

I could probably eat a variant of soup/salad lunch every day and never get sick of it ... that's 1 good thing I've got going for this diet

Mid afternoon snack
100 calorie snack pack crackers - nip cheese
Carrot sticks

I have to vary the carrot sticks with other veggie snacks, otherwise I'm going to lose my mind.

Dinner
Cheesecake Factory's Spicy Chicken Chipoltle Pasta

This thing has more calories than a week of lunch and breakfast, but it is SOOOOO tasty. And we were out because out-of-town friends were IN town. Which call for celebration!

After dinner
Beers

Too many empty calories in beers. I wish there was a calorie free alcoholic beverage that did not taste like gin.
