Day 3 - Relaxing

So after two relatively intensive days on the diet I wanted to make sure to "relax" a bit.  Now the danger with that is "relaxing" turning into "pigging-out" or "being a lazy slug."  All in all though it was reasonably successful.  Because of the weather I didn't end up getting any real exercise (beyond walking to work), but I did manage to eat healthy.

One thing I did realize:  pancake mix actually doesn't have a ton of calories in it.  The dangerous part is the syrup.  So for breakfast this morning I made pancakes with just enough syrup to sweeten them.  It made a nice change from the more traditional egg and cheese, without adding any complexity to the morning routine.  Lunch was a trip to Subway, but I successfully broke my bad habit of too much food, and just grabbed a reasonably sized sandwich.  Even dinner I successfully kept under control.

If I can keep doing this I should be able to hit my goal.

Food today:  pancakes (500 calories), Subway 6-inch meatball sub (500 calories), dinner was two chicken patties on "light" whole wheat rolls (600 calories).  Shockingly no snacks today either.
