Need to watch myself at breakfast-had WAY too much cereal. Didn't get enough sleep last night (about 4 hrs) and have worked from home today due to the weather. Dinner was totally an easy cop-out convenience choice. One of the maybe 2 times I've had fast food since Jan 1st! Sigh!

Tomorrow I'll be back in the office (and gym!) since the weather is getting better, so I'm sure it will be a better day as far as the quality of what I eat.

I everyone!

Thoughts: That is quite a bit of food for around 1300 calories! I have been really hungry the last two days, so I am trying for bulk, protein, and fiber to make me feel more satisfied.
I don't often eat packaged diet meals, but I made the rest of the family ham. I could have had a slice of ham, but I don't *really* enjoy it, and I don't like wasting calories on food I don't like. Then again, I didn't like the frozen dinner either, so might as well have had the ham.

Thoughts: Better day today count wise, however, I think I need to break my cinnamon life cereal addiction! Yes, life is fairly ok as far as cereal goes, but the cinnamon kind is very sweet and I think that's kicking off my carb/sweets issues.
