Setback again

Yesterday, someone brought in donuts. If you know me at all, you know that I love donuts the way Homer Simpson loves... donuts. OK, that's not a great analogy.

I had two. Two delicious donuts. And before lunchtime rolled around, because of my "normal" breakfast and the delicious donuts, I had already eaten over 1000 calories.

Lunch was with my buddy Ken, and we went to Taco del Mar. Oh, delicious Taco del Mar. I could have pigged out with a giant burrito, but I had enough self-control to get the taco deal - two fish tacos and some beans and rice.

Which put me at over 1800 calories.

If only I could have, y'know, stopped eating. Then I would have been fine. But, no, I felt sleepy around 3p, so I went upstairs to get some coffee to get me through the rest of the afternoon. And the donuts were on sale.

Yes. I ate three donuts yesterday. I'm going to stop calling them "donuts" and start calling them "kryptonite". That would help a lot. That put me at 2300 calories.

In the evening, after work, I had to go to the store to get allergy meds and laundry soap. Ah, the life of a bachelor.

Then I walked past the Limelight and saw that they had cream of spinach soup as their special... and I walked in and ordered a cup of soup... and a plate of fries. Fuck. 2900 calories. And no exercise. And lots of salty food.

This morning I weighed in at 198. And the trend line for the past couple of weeks is going up again.

Gotta keep trying.
