Yesterday was a bad day. In any endeavor there come points where you just want to say **** it and I'm going to do whatever I want whatever the consequences may be. I was way too close to that point last night.
Fortunately I received a little inspiration today. Not the kind you might expect -- I've had a bunch of people comment on the weight I've lost the last couple weeks and have gotten nothing but encouragement. If I stopped and thought about it, I should be extremely flattered that people notice. Apparently I'm not wired that way. But I did get to have a chat about completely unrelated stuff with someone who is inspiring (on multiple levels, for reasons not blogworthy) and I left feeling positive. I know I can do what I need to do. More importantly my "want to" got a boost. I want to reach a goal that yesterday seemed a million miles away.
As I review the last few months, it's become quite obvious that I just can't be as lax about things as I have been. Considering all the exercise I've been doing, it's ridiculous that I haven't lost another thirty pounds or more and that's 100% attributable to what's been going into my mouth. Breakfast and lunch have been fine more often than not. If I can pay more attention to my schedule to ensure that I lunch at home (and if I can have some backup quick foods in case of 'emergency') I'll be fine there. Dinner needs to be fixed, and what I really should do is work on the home version of the taco salad. Good volume without being extremely calorific.
Anyway, I'm feeling much more upbeat today. I did even check the scale this morning and while I did take a hit it wasn't a huge one. A little discipline will go a long way.
Breakfast: 1 big slice Kraft jalapeno white cheddar cheese, coffee
I was going to eat the usual salami as well, but when I opened a new package it just didn't look or smell right so I pitched it. It was probably fine but I saw no reason to take a chance.
Lunch: 3 egg omelet (splash of milk) cooked in a pat of butter with 1 slice jalapeno white cheddar, leftover deluxe hamburger gravy, 1 small organic avacado, coffee. Pic:

Dinner: ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky
Quick bite to eat before going out for exercise and for once I didn't eat again when I got home. I didn't get hungry until pretty late, after the time I was planning to go to sleep.
Exercise: 4.5 holes walking, about 1.5 miles in about 40 minutes
I've been super tired this week and have had a real hard time getting out of bed. I suspect that the bad eating at night is the primary cause -- hope that I'm right since that's easy-ish to fix. I was definitely feeling the crummy mattress this morning too. Ugh.
