About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Again, not a great day. Man, that's three in a row now. NOT GREAT AT ALL! I don't think I've ever had TOM "munchie" trouble like this before. At least I've never given in to it like this before... Nasty.

This is the third day in a row I've felt OVER-full when I went to bed. Gross. I ABSOLUTELY have to get this under control if I want to reach my "second choice" goal of getting out of the 160s by the time this current
Sisterhood challenge ends on Wednesday. (my initial goal was to lose at least 10 lbs, but I nixed my chances of that happening when I allowed a small gain a couple of weeks ago)

Saturday
Breakfast: 3 pancakes w/syrup, 1 c. skim milk, coffee
Supper: one hamburger, two small helpings macaroni salad, THREE tall glasses Coke

two-mile walk: 40 min

Evening snack: 3 Dorito chips. For serious. Just three.

Sunday
Breakfast: half slice toast w/margarine & jam, 1 c. skim milk, coffee
Lunch: small bowl macaroni & cheese w/salsa, 1/2 slice bread w/margarine, 1 c. iced tea

two-mile walk: 40 min

Afternoon: one large glass iced tea
Supper: one medium bowl of chili w/nacho chips, sour cream, and a bit of shredded cheddar, 1 c. iced tea
Evening snack: one large bowl of cereal w/skim milk, three slices cheddar

Monday
Breakfast: coffee w/skim milk

two mile walk: 40 min

Afternoon snack: one helping of Shreddies cereal w/skim milk and a bit of sugar
Supper: (Date night! First one in about four months!!) large bowl cream of potato soup w/4 crackers, medium Caesar salad, large helping dry ribs, 1/2 slice of garlic toast, 1 glass Pepsi, 1 mug coffee w/1% milk

Well, not a stellar week again, that's for sure. I don't think I've done much more than maintain my weight again, despite the amount of exercise I got this week.

Total exercise time: 4 hrs, 25 mins
(moderate to hard exercise)

I second Brooke's frustration that's for sure! How come chips can't be healthy?!

Way to go on only eating 3 Doritos that one night!
