Weigh in yesterday: 153 (by some miracle)

Goal: Still 139!

Yesterday and the day before I really did a poor job of sticking to my diet.  I think I’ve identified the bad time though and am going to figure out what to do about it.  Both yesterday and the day before I got really cranky/tired around 4:30 and decided to best way to get in a better mood was through sugar and caffeine.  On Tuesday I had a chocolate chip muffin for dinner (not healthy and too many calories), and yesterday I had a frappucino from Starbucks and then two cookies at this lecture I went to…then proceeded to come home and have a few saltines with peanut butter, a half cup of ice cream and a diet soda.  None of that was necessary, and I ended up just going to bed and not having enough energy to work late last night. (Probably because of all the sugar and my body crashing!)

I’m reading this book “You on a Diet” which talks alot about the science of eating and how our body reacts to certain food.  It’s really interesting and I’m liking it a lot so far.  I know what sugar and caffeine do to my body - I need to remember that when 4:00 rolls around and be smarter than my tiredness.  I know I can do it!

Today, we have a happy hour for my class and then I’m going to go to dinner with a few of my friends…I’m not going to drink at happy hour (I can use my antibiotics as an excuse) and that way I’ll make good dinner decisions.  I’m going to push for a sushi restaurant where I know I can get a good healthy meal =)
