Day 14

So yesterday wasn't that bad, but I did find myself being tempted left and right. And tempted by many things.

I made a big fruity shake for breakfast, which was quite delicious. I have bananas now, so I tossed one of those into the shake, and it made it thicker and tastier. So that was good. I also took my multi-vitamin this morning, and I'm pretty sure I could feel the effects of that. It made me a smidge shaky, but I'm pretty sure my body will adjust to it.

I also had a tangerine that I bought the night before, and it wasn't as sweet as the ones I've been eating at work. I'm assuming they get sweeter the longer they sit around, so hopefully they'll get better.

I had a screener copy of "The Queen," so I made a bag of microwave popcorn to eat while watching it. The popcorn was pretty miserable, actually, too light, not as dense as movie popcorn, so I'll probably pass on eating it again.

Complicating things is, I've got a toothache. Back right bottom, one of my molars. It hurts! I've been tanked up on Advil for the past two days now. Ugh.

And for reasons that I won't name here, I had to spend the day yesterday and all of today with pot in the house. And, in all honestly, it's not been that difficult to avoid smoking it. Hopefully my willpower will carry into the party this evening.

And at poker last night, there was a lot of snacks everywhere. Doritos, mini-Oreos, pie, ice cream. Aughhh!!! I wanted a bowl-full of everything. But I resisted, and, as I had suspected, food was ordered from Roman's, so I got a salad. It was a bit short on dressing, but I guess that's good for me.

Anyway, that was the day yesterday. Here are the facts.

Day 13 food:

Shake (blueberries, banana, splash of OJ, yougurt, ice)
Water
Tangerine
Microwave popcorn (low-fat Orville Redenbacker, entire bag (2 servings))
Water
Caesar salad with grilled chicken (2/3 order)
Water

Day 13 exercise: About the same, though the 2nd walk of the day we did much longer than usual)

Daily weight: 265 lbs. (down 22)


So that's the day. Today I've got to whip up dinner for my co-workers coming over for dinner. My tendancy is to eat while I cook, so this is going to be a challenge. I'm a bit nervous about putting myself into that position, but I suspect I'll survive. And I'm going to make Jambalaya, which, while not 100% good for you, is definitely the lesser of many many evils.
