Food Journal, Day Three

What an exciting blog this has been, but I'm sure once I get past the humps I'll have all sorts of funny and insightful revelations to share with myself--because after all is said and done, this journal is essentially me talking to myself; a sort of self-encouragement and sifting thought my own accumulated junque, like when you go through your old closets and come across items you forgot you had, and you have to decide whether to keep them, donate them to Goodwill, or toss them in the rubbish bin. I think my mind has become clogged with emotional and spiritual detritus and sorting though it might not be a fruitless activity.

So if nothing else, for now I can compulsively record my food intake. This morning I had a bowl of raisin bran with soy milk, a cup of coffee with 2% milk, and a banana. Total calories by my estimation is around 500 calories.

I need to pack for the Superbowl and I have a Piano lesson at 2:00 PM, which I have to drive through the Snowpocalypse to get to. I have a full and exciting day ahead. Whoopee.

Lunch was a rather delicious egg-and veggie bacon sandwich on toast, total calories was :

Egg: 70
Bread:130
3 pieces of veggie bacon: 90

Let's call it an even 300. I'm going to have an apple so we'll round off the mid-day at 400 calories, with a mid-day Total of 900 calories.

Today being Wednesday it's my treat day, but I don't really feel like one today (I usually have a treat when I'm gloomy, or when I'm celebrating something) but I fell that tomorrow I'll really need one,so I think I may postpone my treat until tomorrow.

I have 1100 calories left for dinner. How cool. I can splurge. Wonder how much a Dominoes thin crust cheese pizza has? I'll go look.

I just did. It has +- 1200 Calories. That's a handy thing to know.

No pizza but a peanut butter sandwich and soup. The sandwich was around 250 calories and the soup was 450 calories for a total of 700. A cliff bar at 200 for dessert rounded me out at 900 calories Total for dinner.

So my Total for the day so far = 1800 Calories.
