When starting the new diet I almost made a penalty to forgetting to post. It would have made vacations more "dangerous" but would have solved one of the bigger problems with the blog as a structure on my diet. Namely that forgetting to post the daily results gives me excuses to cheat. Then once I cheat, the whole thing falls apart.
There are no obvious cheat days on the horizon (other than 4th of July, but I tend to not do much special on that day anyway). Most of the upcoming holidays are cookout days, but overeating on those has more to do with attending or hosting parties. There's no reason I have to eat a ton just because it's Memorial Day. In that regard getting a gas grill was a major boon. When starting up a charcoal grill takes an hour, you want to cook more than a couple burgers on it. A gas grill isn't too much different than cooking on the stove, it's just outside.
So missing a post still doesn't have a penalty, but I wanted to make sure I got yesterday's results in. Not least of which because the week started slow and I need to figure if I'm falling into Balloon range.
Food today (4/15) - breakfast was light wheat bread with peanut butter and light lemonade (265 calories), lunch was fish sticks, tater tots and light lemonade (621 calories), dinner was a steak, no yolk noodles with butter and green beans while the beverage was some diet mountain dew (880 calories). There was no snacking during the day.
Exercise: quite a bit of walking (16000+ steps), but all of it was part of the standard dog walking structure. So no points awarded, but I took a commanding lead in my weekly Fit Bit challenges.
Totals
Food eaten: 1766
Calories Burned: 0
Daily Points: 1234
Weekly Points: 6151
Total earned: 24727
So with two days to go in the week I still need 1400 points to avoid the water balloons...I'm probably making it, as long as I don't screw up.
