Day 22

One thing I've already noticed about taking the last week off from exercise, is that my excitement about posting the day's results has declined dramatically now that I'm not putting in big point days.  Going off the diet all together would be a lot worse of course, but it's harder to remind myself to calculate the points when the day's only going to be worth 500 points towards the goal.

Food for Sunday:  egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), lunch/dinner was a hamburger and hot dog on the grill with fresh sourdough rolls (1000 calories), snacks were the potato chips with lunch as well as from the afternoon with my friends (1200 calories).  No exercise.

Day 22

My first day earning less than 1000 points, and all because of a snack I probably shouldn't have had.  Forgot to bring an apple today, so when it came time for a snack (and some additional caffeine) I grabbed a bag of chips and a diet soda.  What I glanced at and disregarded, was that the chips were 300 calories.  The rain today didn't help, since I bailed on going to the gym as a result of getting soaked on my way home.

I had considered manipulating my dinner in order to guarantee I hit at least 1000 points, but in the end decided to focus on just maintaining the diet to the best I could, without trying to manipulate the day's score.  Breakfast was a breakfast sandwich with an extra piece of cheese (350 calories).  Lunch was PB&J (600 calories).  Dinner was spaghetti, sauce and garlic toast (1000 calories).  Snacks were the aforementioned bag of chips (300 calories).
