Okay, I haven't done great today, but as this is the first time I've actually tracked for an entire day, I'm not going to get too uptight. Incredible how many calories you can eat and still think you're doing really well...

- coffees with 1 cup no fat milk
- 2 crispbread
- 2 tsp peanut butter
- clementine

- popcorn
- low fat marg

- 12 vanilla caramels ... yikes!! the calories!!

- lean cuisine dinner... I'm going to eat two of them... one for dinner, one to snack on later...

- lots of water

Those caramels were a big mistake. Big. But I still think I've eaten much less than I usually do because I'm writing it down.

Damn. Ate 5 more caramels
And a little bowl of porridge with brown sugar. Yummy.

Okay I guess I should start tracking too.
