Diet Log: Week 5, Day 3

I would like to add another guilty member to the list of people (in addition to my wife, and my friends) that I can blame for making me fat: The Boston Red Sox.
I was at the game last night, and before I found my seat I bought a sausage (I had promised my son a Rem Dawg, but the were all out so we had to settle for sausages). That wasn't too bad, but then in the first two innings David Wells starts getting hit HARD. Midway through the second inning, I had also consumed two Fenway Franks, not because I was hungry, but because I needed to do SOMETHING to take my mind off the game. Afterwards, my son was starving, so we went to McDonalds and had quarter-pounders and small fries. So I'm going to add my son to the list as well. (Come to think of it, I have gained a bunch of weight since he was born 10 years ago, so maybe it's all mostly HIS fault).

Anyway, I got home late last night, and I was too tired to get up for my workout this morning. (still the Red Sox fault). I KNEW better than to try stepping on the scale, so I didn't. Then I had to dash to work without breakfast and have been in meetings all day since. I have not had a chance to eat yet, which I know is not good for me, blah, blah, blah, but it couldn't be helped today. My problem now is that it's 3:30 in the afternoon, the cafeteria is closed, I have another meeting at 4:00 so there isn't time to go anywhere, so the only food available to me is in the snack machine. In case you were wondering, they DON'T sell salad in the snack machine. So I must either wait for dinner or break the weekly regimen for the second day in a row. I haven't decided yet - stay tuned.

So my report so far today is very boring:

Workout: None

Weigh-in: Didn't do it

Breakfast: None

Lunch: None

First Dinner: I am the worst dieter ever. I can't even stick to my own rules. On the way home from work, I feared that I was so hungry I might die (not from hunger, but possibly from passing out and driving my car into a bridge abutment), and since that wouldn't be good for anybody I rationalized a stop by McDonalds on the way out of town. Now, I know Mcdonalds has salads, but have you ever tried to eat one while driving? Probably more risky than passing out from hunger. Plus they are expensive. So I settled on two double-cheeseburgers off the dollar menu. Calories: 880

Second Dinner: Got home safely and was still hungry, so I had two bowls of salad (no meat) with fat free Italian dressing - one of the few fat free dressings that don't taste like weasel vomit. I also topped it off with some Marinated Mushrooms I bought at the new Hannaford the other day - they are a little expensive ($6.99 a pound), but they do dress up a salad pretty well. Calories: about 300



Total Calories for the day: 1180
