water:  2L as of 8:00 pm

Surprisingly, broccoli isn’t really all that bad.  I’m definitely not a vegetable person (surpise, surprise– I’m more of a pizza person, which is what got me here in the first place), so eating all the veggies I’m supposed to has been one of the biggest challenges on this diet.  However, in light of the 1/2 lb. gain today, I am going to be super diligent, and hopefully I can hit 200 on the MRC scale on Friday.  I have also been getting a little loose on my cheese measurements lately– I eat my allowed cheese plus a little extra on my taco, and then I add some parmesan to the salad, too…not happening anymore.  I don’t have that much leeway anyhow because now instead of 3 oz. of cheese, I only get 2 oz.  Maybe if I’m a bit more exact when weighing foods/making meals, it will pay off in the end.  I’ve been at this for two months now, so there are some areas in which I’m getting a bit lazy.  I also should start back up with exercise again.  That was going well on a treadmill at home, but then the TV in front of it broke, and I’ve simply lost my motivation without my Friends episode on DVD.  So, this week I’m making it a goal to get the TV switched out with another one so I can start walking again.  Even if it’s just fairly light exercise, every little bit helps.  I’m taking the stairs to get to my office, and I can already tell it’s much easier than before.
