Day 76

Yesterday wasn't the most healthy day I've had food-wise, but I don't think it was such a bad day overall, and, it ended with a bang!

I had the usual banana and a breakfast bar to start my day, then, around noon, my boss called me to the kitchen and insisted I have a piece of cake to celebrate the birthday of one of his employees. I tried my best to resist, and then remembered that I am trying to not live my life out of bounds, rather than simply shunning completely every little thing that isn't good for me. So, I had a small piece of rum cake, which I think made me drunk. It was delicous, but sort of confused me the rest of the day. Do I skip lunch? Do I have lunch when I get hungry but skip dinner? Oh, such questions.

The rest of the day I snacked on grapes, and apple, and two of those popcorn cakes.

Finally, at the poker tournament I played in, I had two small pieces of pizza. And, I broke a rule at poker, and ate round 9:30 p.m.

So, that was the day with regards to food. As for one of the other vices, specifically poker, I won! Well, I tied for first in the tournament. Once it was down to two of us, me and the other guy decided to combine the prizes for first and second and simply split it 50/50. So, for a $20 buy-in, I ended up winning $300!

Normally, when I would do well at a tournament, I'd stop somewhere and celebrate with a big fast-food pig-out. But, I had no desire to do it this time. That made me pretty happy.

So, that was my day. Now, the facts:

So that was yesterday. Today, a late start so I'll probably just pick up lunch somewhere. Also, I've been craving Chipotle, so I'll probably brave the crowds at the Beverly Center and go get me some of that!

Thanks for reading!

(P.S. I weighed in at 230 lbs., down 3 lbs. from yesterday. Perhaps I should have a steady diet of rum cake and pizza from now on! Okay, just kidding...)
