    Walked around a grocery store which again seems to be reorganizing and hiding things.
    45 minutes or so. Still low on water.
  • Mine's a narrative: I stopped journaling at approximately 2400 cal! Exercise was 25 min weights in gym. It was too hot in the gym and people kept talking to me and I could not focus. I took a shower and went to work. The day got worse so I ate a bunch of stuff. My 21-day pb cup NOT challenge is still intact. The 1600 cal streak game is dead in the water. I have not gotten a firm grip on the wagon rails.

    The end.

    Reporting early tonight as I have to cover a school board and intend NOT to eat anymore. Cals high again but no pb cups so my 21-dayer is intact. I will edit this if I have to eat later. This is also a little funky as I played around with serving amounts on things and also gave bits and pieces to Old Dog, so it may not be entirely accurate, but close enough:
