Cupcakes!!!

Yeah, I'll get back to the treadmill this weekend or next week. I'm going to stop stressing about it.

I had my shake. Breakfast was Eggs Benedict - I asked for it without the english muffin, the sauce and the ham. I ended up with three baked eggs and three strips of bacon.

Lunch was the last of the chicken & broc left-overs. I had an apple, a banana and some nuts as snacks.

Then, we had our little event at work. The event celebrated all of the people in my department that had anniversaries. I was "celebrating" 8 years. I knew there would be treats of some type. I planned to go, get a can of Diet 7Up, stay long enough to call it an appearance and then get the heck out.

Yeeeeeah. The management in my department can't even figure out how to throw a party. There were no drinks. Nothing. But, oh dear jeebus!, the conference table, one of the largest in the firm, was COATED in cupcakes. My blood sugar jumped just walking into the room. It was like dropping a cocaine addict into a Miami Police Department evidence locker. I said hello to a few people and got the hell out - I didn't get any cupcake on me.

Dinner was started with some BBQ Pork, some cheese and salami and eight - 8 - Ritz crackers, then the main course was crustless quiche. I had a container of fruit cocktail in Splenda syrup for desert - that was about 200 calories.

So, all told, not bad. I didn't need the crackers, but I didn't eat four cupcakes.

Just Okay

The cold is tapering off, thankfully.

I didn't get to the treadmill. Sucks.

Food for today started, as always, with a protein shake. The powdered eggs sucked, I ate a few bites and had four strips of bacon. I had an apple and a banana. Lunch was some chicken & broccoli in white sauce left overs. There was some nuts for a snack. Dinner was a medium T Bone with a salad. Over all, the food was in the win column.

I didn't get on the treadmill, but I walked around the store with Steph tonight. A little movement is better than none.

Tomorrow they are having a function I must attend. There will be cake and cookies and who knows what else. We'll see if I survive.

Decent until Dinner

Yeah, last night ended pretty late - with Big Macs and Corn Chips.

I didn't get up for the treadmill this morning.

My blood sugar was high, 426, but that was expected.

My weight was 492 ... not looking that horse in the mouth. My body is SO screwed up.

I had my shake, then had sausage patties on toast with cheese - not great. I drank a thing of OJ, looking for the vitamin C there. Lunch was a salad - my one good-boy meal of the day. There was an apple and some nuts in there as snacks.

Dinner was left-over chicken and scalloped potatoes. Then more corn chips (whoops! Finished the bag!) Then a baloney sandwich. I'm so freeking stuffed I could barf. Stupid! I had a stupid and rough day and I wasn't feeling good to boot, so I turned to food. Typical!

This keeping an honest record of what I'm doing isn't fun anymore. I'm going to bed now.

Back to work tomorrow.

The cold is hanging on, but I'm good enough to go back to hell ...urm, work.

Today's food consisted of a run to BK. One meal. That was around lunch time.

About an hour ago I started to get pretty hungry. The wife was on the phone. I figured she'd be off soon and we could get something to eat. She just got off the phone and she isn't hungry.

I'm left to decide between going out and buying food, then staying up for two hours so as not to give myself heart burn. Or, go to bed on an empty stomach so I can do the treadmill in the morning.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, neither option is very good. Guess you'll find out what I did tomorrow.

Still off, feeling a bit better.

The cold is cough and sniffles. Some sore throat issues still. I hate being sick.

Left over KFC for breakfast. Dinner was some kind of Au Gratin Potatoes and Chicken thing that the wife made - tasted awesome. There were a couple of cookies. To control my cough, I had several cups and glasses of full sugar tea.

The weigh in Monday will not be pretty. Did I mention I hate being sick?

This blog is a bit more interesting to read than I thought it might be. There's some drama now. Will he get back on the diet or will he fail before January is even half through???

Tune in tomorrow. Same fat time! Same fat channel!!

Still Sick, Still Bad

Stayed home sick again today. The headache and sinus issues have become a cough.

When I have a cold I want to sleep and eat. I did both today.

Start with a T-Bone and four eggs. Then it was a lot of pudding. Then a baloney sandwich. Dinner was chicken strips from KFC, complete with biscuits, slaw and mashed potatoes and gravy. Then, left over Xmas candy.

So, yeah, the good I've done has probably been ruined by the bad I've done the last two days, but I don't care. I hate being sick and I wasn't about to starve and be sick!

I'll get back on ... probably Monday. Maybe sooner.

Bad, Sick, Nasty Boy

I got my wife's cold. It showed up out of the blue today. I stayed home from work. I'm probably staying home tomorrow.

This seems to be the way it always works. I get serious about a diet and I get sick and the diet dies with the virus. I wonder if my resistance goes down when I diet?

So, food today was some baked chicken, four fried eggs, some nuts, some corn chips, then a double cheese burger, Sprite and fries from Wendy's. I didn't eat but a few fries, I couldn't taste them. So ... not good.

My only saving grace for the day is that I discovered the cold as I did my time on the treadmill this morning, so, four days in a row. I will NOT be on the treadmill tomorrow. My streak will have to sit at four days for the moment.

I fully intend to get back on the wagon. But, I've said that before. We'll see.
