nothing but reading today

Posted by: billie In: blogging helps

Today i finished Lord of the Flies, which i started on last night. Good book. I think i was supposed to read it in high school but didn’t for some reason. But i thought it was a great quick read. Then, since i was in reading mode i read a Stephen Crane short story that i have been meaning to get to, Maggie: Girl of the Streets. It was okay, it was kind of hard to get thru because of the characters’ dialect. I definitely like his other short stories better. But then again, his work is the kind of stuff that needs to set in for a while before i like it.

That’s about all i did today, plus i tried to fight off cravings all day. That pizza last night has reaked havoc on my will power.  I’m having a hard time remembering all the stuff i ate today. It was kind of an off day.

Breakfast was 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese (180) and 1 cup blueberries (70). Reheated leftover pizza for lunch, i estimate it at (550) calories. Then throughout the afternoon and evening i had a lindor truffle (73), a bowl of jello (30), a hostess snack cake (100), 2 servings of fake crabmeat (180) with butter (25), another truffle (73), another hostess snack cake (100) and another bowl of jello (30). I think that is it. Oh, coffee after breakfast and later in the evening as well, probably 7 cups (35) with splenda and cream (70).

Day total: 1516 calories and NO exercise

I hated Lord of the Flies, but I think it’s because I had to read it for a school assignment, too. Maybe I should pick it up again sometime.

Cravings are the worst. I caved in today and got a sandwich. At least it was a healthy sandwich.

We all have off days. Just start again tomorrow. :)
