Day 20

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I sort of cheated later in the day, but I'm not beating myself up too much about it.

I didn't have breakfast, and had a few errands to run in the morning, followed by a job interview at noon. I figured I'd grab lunch after the interview (I was sort of looking forward to Baja Fresh). But, things took a turn for the different, and I went with the flow.

Halfway through the job interview (to become a personal assistant), the gentleman I was being interviewed by asked me if I wanted to simply get to work. Never one to pass up a challenge, I jumped in and started to get to work. I wasn't that hungry at the time, so I figured I could survive until 3:00 p.m.-ish and grab a late lunch.

Instead, his housekeeper cooked lunch for him, and they offered me something to eat too. It was delicious, and (I'm pretty sure) good for me. Sauteed shrimp, vegetables, and a small serving of rice. Delicious. I drank a bit of water throughout my work and took my vitamins.

After work, I had a snack. I bought these things called Quaker Quakes, caramel corn-flavored rice cakes. They're very tasty, low in calories, low in sugar, and fat-free. I had the equivilent of two servings.

Then a bit of water, got in another run, and went to the movies with a friend.

Which is where the cheat happened. I got a small popcorn and a small fruit punch. I ate all of the popcorn! It was soooo good, and not necessarily the worst thing for me, but I was eating it after 9:00 p.m. (about 10:15 p.m.). But I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I didn't get butter, and I didn't get nachos (as gooooood as they looked!).

So that was the day. Now, the facts:

Day 19 food:

Shrimp, veges and rice (8 shrimp, carrots zucchini and califlower, and about 1/2 cup rice)
Water
Rice cakes (2 servings)
Water
1/2 tangerine (it wasn't good!)
Chunky chicken sausage gumbo (full can)
Water
Small popcorn
Fruit punch

Day 19 exercise: Another run (just under 1 mile, three walks)

Daily weight: 263 lbs (down 24)


Not much to look forward to today. I'll probably make myself a shake now (12:30 p.m.), then have something for dinner later on. I'm supposed to be at a party tonight, and will probably have a cocktail, but will do my best to refrain from eating...
