Succeeding a day at a time

194 even this morning. My diet required some attention yesterday because I and my co-workers ate at American Dream Pizza for lunch, and one slice of their pizza is a lot of calories. But I avoided snacks by telling myself I didn't need them (and I didnt) and I ran, actually ran outside, for 35-40 minutes, and ate a simple sandwich for dinner, and drank lots of water.

I was afraid that I'd want a late night snack because I was staying up to watch the season finale of "Lost", which didnt finish until about 2 hours past my normal bedtime. And I did want a snack. But rather than walking to Foster's Market for donuts, or a cup of coffee from Twin Paradox (with plenty of cream and sugar), instead I ate an apple, and barely went over my goal at all.

And it paid off when the scale showed a half pound drop from yesterday. Good choices lead to good results.

Oh, and another thing: count everything. I ate some jelly beans from a vending machine. Just a handful, maybe 10 or so. Almost dismissed them but didn't. Ate part of Tracy's giant chocolate chip cookie, just a bite or two in size. Almost dismissed it but didn't. And those two things together would've put me over by 250 calories! So count everything!
