Lunch, plain turkey sub.

Dinner mashed taters and flank steak.  Two servings of each.

And some darned hershey kisses.  And some chocolate peanut brittle.  I need to not eat when I’m bummed out.

Overall, a better day.

Curse you appetizers http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/19/lunch-snack-curse-you-appetizers/ http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/19/lunch-snack-curse-you-appetizers/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2007 17:17:21 +0000 Dan http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/19/lunch-snack-curse-you-appetizers/ I’m out on a business trip. Which meant a blueberry bagel (no cream cheese) and diet pepsi for breakfast. A ice skim grande vanilla latte mid morning. I’m at lunch and had one jalapeno popper and two small olive cheese deep fried things. Ordered a steak ceasar salad for lunch though. Resisted further appetizers.

]]> http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/18/damn/feed/ 0 Back on Track, but not really http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/18/back-on-track-but-not-really/ http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/18/back-on-track-but-not-really/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2007 00:43:57 +0000 Dan http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/18/back-on-track-but-not-really/ Since Thursday has been a combination of back sliding, weekend freedom and father’s day indulgence.  I need to do another weigh in to see what damage has been done.  I did get out for a jog though.

Today’s exercise. Did the morning walk.  My iPod battery was dead, so I had to go silently.  Which wasn’t all bad.

Today’s food intake:

  • Breakfast: Oatmeal with Craisins. Diet Pepsi.
  • Lunch: Plain turkey sub from Jimmy John’s, Chips (bad) and Diet Pepsi.
  • Work snack: Diet Pepsi.
  • Dinner: Bleu Cheese Burger, Cucumber salad (very low fat, high veggie!) Diet Pepsi.
  • Late night snack: Here’s where it gets ugly.  Trish got me a nerds blizzard.  Gonna be so good and bad at the same time.

Not great.  The chips and blizzard pretty damn bad.  But the walk, and most of the other stuff was good.  I’m gonna go hit the weigh in.

It makes me realize that I view food as some sort of entertainment as opposed to a necessity. I should just let food be food, and get my entertainment elsewhere.

]]> http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/18/food-as-entertainment/feed/ 0 Bad boy! http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/13/bad-boy/ http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/13/bad-boy/#comments Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:26:33 +0000 Dan http://dropmybaby.com/2007/06/13/bad-boy/ Today’s exercise. None.  I slept in.  You can’t hit the snooze and still walk.  Dammit!Today’s food intake:

  • Breakfast: Oatmeal and a nanner. Diet Pepsi.
  • Lunch: Plain turkey sub from Jimmy John’s, Diet Pepsi.
  • Work snack: Diet Pepsi.
  • Dinner: Hot Dog, Cheeseburger, pita chips, nacho chips and salsa. 3 Michelob Ultras. I was at a cookout.  It was nice!
  • Late night snack: 6 Hershey kisses.

Not good at all.  I’m going to pay for this at the weekly weigh in.  Today I really felt like I was on a diet (as opposed to just trying to change habits).  I felt trapped by trying to eat a certain way.  It was almost like food was poison and it was dangerous to eat the wrong thing.  I don’t want to have an unhealthy relationship with food, and it felt pretty unhealthy today.  I need to be comfortable with eating healthy.  I don’t want to feel trapped, I want to feel like I’m making good choices.  Not sure quite how to do that, but it felt good at dinner to not be thinking about what I was eating.  This is gonna be tough!

Another day, another 25 minute walk. Used the What Do You Know Podcast.

Today’s food intake:

  • Breakfast: One exact cup of special K with strawberries. Diet Pepsi.
  • Lunch: Italian sub from Jimmy John’s, Diet Pepsi.
  • Work snack: Diet Pepsi.
  • Dinner: 2 Crab Cakes, unsalted chips and salsa. Diet Pepsi.
  • Late night snack: Ice cream, banana, and 6 hershey kisses.

Not great. I was in a sad mood and the chocolate really does perk you up. But its not like I’m proud of that.  But you really can feel the mood boosters in there.  Especially when you’re trying to avoid it.  Crazy.
