Headed in the Right Direction

A.M. Weight: 246.5

Down a pound and a half in just one day!

Probably just a normal weight fluctuation, but I will take it as encouraging news.

I started off the day with a cup of Green Tea and a small piece of fruit. I had only water to drink with lunch and dinner and no snacking or beverages other than water all day. I thought my lunch was reasonable; 2 slices of turkey on two pieces of pumpernickel bread with a little mustard. I did misbehave and eat some left-over french fries with my sandwich.

Because of a special event, my dinner was a trifle out of line. My son was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Boy Scouting. At the Court of Honor we enjoyed a pasta dinner with fruit, garden salad, and bread. I had a moderate portion and did not have any cake for dessert.

All-in-all, I think it was a pretty good first day.
