Day Three

Weigh In: 276
Day's Performance: A-

I did well today. I ate right, although I think I probably ate too big of a lunch. I had a good small victory tonight at dinner. All I could think about is how my dinners have been too big lately, and tonight we went to Bennigan's for dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday. This place, if you haven't been there, is a complete food trap. For example, they have this sandwich called the Monte Cristo - it's a huge sandwich with ham, turkey and cheese - and then it's DEEP FRIED and then they put sprinkled powdered sugar on it.

In the past, I would have had two. I think they've got like 3000 calories or something insane like that.

I ordered the "Pick Two" with an 8 ounce angus beef well done steak and a grilled chicken breast. I substituted the baked potato and got steamed broccoli instead. I also passed 100% on the rolls and butter - and had a diet coke.

Oh, and I went to the gym not once, but twice today.

So, I give myself an A- for the day. It would have been an A if I would have had a better lunch, but I had that 'stuffed' feeling because I overate. I'll be doing the letter grades for now on, analyzing each day. Perhaps I'll start to give myself 'weekly report cards' averaging my weekly grades. We'll see how that goes.

Day 3 in the books - tomorrow will start a real challenge. Weekend Warriors - who's with me?

OK, that Monte Cristo sounds, well, like weight gain waiting to happen. Is it tasty? I guess it must have been for you to eat 2. Good job on making wiser choices.

Definitely with you this weekend, and many weekends to come. Planning to hit the gym tomorrow for the first time in a week, and definitely eating according to plan for the weekend. Good luck!
