Diet Log: Week 5, Day 2

One of the problems with my diet plan is that it annoys my wife. This is the first week that hasn't annoyed her by Wednesday. She loves Salad, and really enjoyed my concoction last night. In her words "I think this is going to be a really good week". When I run out of ideas and have to go into summer re-runs, Salad week will be on top of my list. Of course, being the temptress that she is, she still helped herself to an Ice Cream sandwich for desert, while I had a second plate of Salad.

I opened up the refrigerator at work and remembered that I still had about a quart of milk left over from Cereal Week. Wondering if it was still good, I opened the lid for a sniff - which was a bit of a mistake. Oops. It was too nasty to pour down the drain without stinking up the kitchen, so I just threw it away. Hopefully the poor people who empty the trash don't do anything to break the bottle open.

I was shopping last night and found some fat free creamy Ceasar dressing. After tasting it, I discovered why these are such good diet foods - They are so disgusting that they will take away your appetite. Ugh. Fortunately I had purchased a backup bottle of regular Ceasar dressing, so I was able to enjoy the salad - even though the dressing ended up being about 400 calories all by itself.

Workout: 45 minutes on the treadmill. Judging by the amount of sweat dripping off me and being abosrbed into the living room carpet, I would say it was a better workout than yesterday.

Weigh-in: -12.5. Back on track with a little help from my friend: Lettuce.

Breakfast: Another bowl of Fruit Salad. It's not actually all gone yet - I will leave it on my desk and snack on it all day. I did manage to get off my lazy butt and look it up the ingredients though, and I calculate that it is approximately 300 calories.

Lunch Chicken Ceaser salad from d'angelos again. 537 Calories

Dinner They were out of RemDawgs at the game, so I had to satisfy myself with a sausage and 2 Fenway Franks. No idea about the calories.


Total Calories for the Day: 837 + Fenway Franks + Sausage
