Overall good day today. Some downs, but many redeeming ups as well. I packed a healthy lunch from home, but there was a pizza lunch at work, and it was tempting! So I decided to just have the tops and skip the crust, which I managed for one little square..it hardly registered, so I went for a second square, but this time I couldn't bring myself to throw the crust and ended up eating it. That was pretty much all the food, other than a coffee with cream, until 5.30 pm. At which point, I grabbed a little bag of peanuts from the vending machine, and then upon coming home I finished those peanuts from yesterday (which should have been junked in the garbage YESTERDAY!!!). NO MORE PEANUTS NOW!!! I hate the after-feeling of lethargy from the fat, bloating from the salt, and guilt from the wrongdoing!!! Not to mention I'll probably not see a loss tomorrow (although I did see one today despite yesterday's nut binge!!)

Redeeming points: Worked out with more intensity today. Wore my wrist weights, and put in 30 mins on the bike (160 k), 30 mins walking on the treadmill at 4 mph (240K), and 30 mins on the elliptical (177k). And did 3 sets of biceps, 3 sets of lateral raises, and 2 sets of shoulder upright press.

Water intake was decent, esp. in the second half of the day.

Rounded off the day with my protein shake with soy milk. Tomorrow, I want to add more weights, ab crunches, and running.

I'll bet that, with another "overall good day today", that loss will stick around for tomorrow's weigh in. We don't have to be perfect all the time to make progress. Nuts are a big no-no for me, too. They are so easy to overindulge in, being so small and LOADED with calories, that I just can't have them in the house (other than some baking nuts which don't seem to have the same lure as the roasted and salted kind). And when I'm faced with a bowl full of nuts when I'm out and about, I try to think of how much other food I can eat for the same calories and that usually helps throw me off the scent. Great job with the exercise. I'm looking forward to a happy weigh in for you tomorrow! You can do it!
