Day 119

It's always funny how little things can throw off your diet and exercise plans.  In my case yesterday we got hit with a major rainstorm right as I was leaving work.  My plan for the day had been to go to the gym, then head home and try and make a dinner with a slightly smaller calorie count than normal.  Instead having to bike home through a monsoon wrecked that.  I was soaked to the skin within a few moments, and I simply skipped the gym as a result (my gym clothes were also soaked, though slightly less so, in my backpack).  After getting home I needed comfort food so I made pasta rather than the smaller alternatives I'd been considering.

The day wasn't really a total loss.  After all, a year ago comfort food meant burgers and fries, a 2000+ calorie portion of spaghetti and meat sauce, or some other equally unhealthy food.  The fact that comfort food now means, "carbs, but not a ton of them" is almost certainly a good thing.

Food on Friday:  english muffin with peanut butter and milk (trying to make some alternatives to the egg and cheese sandwich, this one I kind of like, 300 calories).  Turkey sandwich (500 calories), snack was a homemade cupcake that someone brought to work (250 calories), and dinner was penne, sauce and garlic toast (1000 calories).  I did manage to get two walks in at work (200 calories total) for exercise.
