Victories: Getting over the school for garden day. It was pretty drizzly this morning and it would have been cozier at home, but I'm glad we went. It was a good day overall.

Defeats: My waffle sandwich, while yummy and satisfying, is probably no the best breakfast combo.

Observations: Gardening is hard work! But it was great to leave Young Zorro home with Marido and hang out with Indiana Jones for a while. He cracks me up.

*The sprouted bread I buy has no processed flour in it so doesn't metabolize like a normal piece of bread would. Plus, it only has 90 calories for two pieces.

Calories/Fat/%: 2192 calories/111.5 g/46%!!!!!!!!!!! Wha?

Victories: I chose the salad at Target's snack bar while out shopping, and I only dipped my fork lightly in the very thick dressing. It was actually not bad for a Target salad. Added wheat germ and sweet potato puree to the pancakes to make them a little more healthy.

Defeats: Hmmm, where to start. The Lindt truffle by itself is not bad, and I was pretty proud of myself all the way up to dinner. I dont' know what happened. I just lost it. I ate the cheese while shredding about 12 pounds that I had bought in block form at the store. And what was up with that carb fest? There were pancakes left from breakfast and I get a silly thrill out of making sure leftovers get eaten...I ate the last two. Stupid. It was like I was on auto-pilot. And I obviously have an addiction to cold cereal. Still not getting water.

Observations: I cannot be trusted. Okay. It was just a bad evening for food. Moving on. I didn't get the exercise I wanted to get in today. Apparently no one wants to sell step platforms around here. I'll have to order online. And I didn't get to exercise until 10pm, but I did it!! It's really important to me to follow through because I'm so good at excuses.
