Diet Log: Week 1, Day 3

A couple more things to add to my list of things I have learned:


1. Letting your three-year-old son see you eat Marshmallow cereal with Diet Pepsi on it is a good way to make your wife very unhappy. Apparently, my son saw my wife putting milk in her cereal yesterday morning and informed her that she was doing it WRONG. He told her that she needed to pour diet pepsi in there because that is how Daddy does it.

2. A corrolary to #1, Things that are amusing to men, are often not nearly as amusing to their wives. (Actually, I already knew this, but it was recently reinforced.)

Workout: Hit the treadmill for 42 minutes again. Started out a little faster and sustained the faster rate for a little longer. Watched the second episode of "Conviction". So far, I am not impressed - some of the acting is horrendous. I have concluded that I would never waste perfectly good TV watching time strictly to watch this show, but at 6 a.m. when nothing else good is on, I can watch it. Also watched the first half of Sunday's "Family Guy" episode. I really enjoyed the part where the maid was pulling stuff out of Peter's belly-button. Fat-Guy-belly-button-storage jokes are always funny, but when she pulled out the ColecoVision game console, it made me nostalgic for the one I bought at a yardsale for $5 when I was a kid. 276 Calories burned

Weigh - in: X - 8.5. Wow. My fears of becoming a MANOREXIC are coming true. Maybe I should eat more.

Breakfast: Two more bowls of last night's frosted flakes - marshmallo combo. Total Calories: 390

Lunch: Taking from what I learned yesterday, I took the other half of the reese's pieces bag, dumped them into a cup of milk and let them dissolve for about 10 minutes. Then I poured the concoction on top of my Cinnamon toasties for a very delicious treat. I think this practice would make it on to my wife's list of "Things NOT to let your kids see you doing", so I will limit my candy-cereal experiments to workplace meals. Total Calories: 383.33

Dinner: Ok, I cheated. I was busy all day and didn't get a chance to eat 2nd Lunch or any snacks, and I had to rush out the door and forgot to bring any snacks with me. I was going straight to AWANA. Knowing that I could not go all the way until nearly 10 p.m. without eating anything, I swung by McDonalds and had 2 double cheeseburgers for Dinner (at $1 ea, this is the best deal going). So I guess now I'm on the Cereal/cheeseburger diet. ah, well. Total Calories: 920

Second Dinner: Even with the double cheeseburgers, I haven't really had enough to eat today, so I had another bowl (2 servings) of Frosted Flakes. Total Calories: 350

Total Calories today: 2043.33
