Breakfast (around 11 a.m.)
2 eggs, scrambled with green onion and fat-free cheddar
3 slices Canadian bacon
Hot tea, sweetened with Splenda, with a splash of lemon juice
Went to the grocery store around 2 p.m. because when I went in to figure out what I was going to fix for supper, the freezer was looking pretty empty. So [...]

Wednesday 11/12 Food Journal

10:00 a.m.
I meant to get up by eight o’clock this morning, but, alas, the best intentions . . . good thing the plumber showed up at 9:30 (to fix a leak I’ve been complaining to my landlady about for more than two months!). So I had no choice but to get up. Which is good. [...]

Weight Loss Journal 11/9/08

I’m kind of upset, because I thought I’d done better this week than apparently I did (but see below for how my week really went). I really want to hit my 10% (29 lbs) before Thanksgiving, but that now only gives me seventeen days to lose six pounds. I was up again this week, 0.4 [...]

Weight-Loss Journal 11/2/08

Well, after a week in which I knew I wasn’t doing well, I did better today than I feared: I was only up 0.4 lbs, moving the needle up to 272.6. I didn’t walk, I didn’t pre-plan meals, I pretty much didn’t do much of anything good. I didn’t do too much of anything bad, [...]
