Diet, June 26, 2009

Took another liberty with the diet today. I hate going to the movies & just getting a bottle of water. And while my preference would be to get some of those nachos with the completely synthetic, nacho-cheese flavored goo and a box of Junior Mints, I figure popcorn isn't nearly as bad for me as that. So I got the medium popcorn and a large bottle of water. I did add salt & that unnatural butter flavored grease to the popcorn, but I was careful to use just a small amount of the grease. (I usually dump 10-20% of the popcorn out of the bag so I can shake the contents around to distribute the grease & salt.)

I also had planned to try & start getting cardio in every other day, but I only slept 3 hours on Thursday, and that was from 9am-Noon, so there was no way I was exercising on Friday morning at 8-9am. I passed the hell out instead.

Oh, by the way... last time I got groceries, I went to Sweetbay. I had been going to Publix, but Sweetbay was on the right hand side as I was going home, and I pulled in out of laziness. What luck! When I went to grab cottage cheese (between Mom and I we go thru 4 containers a week), they only had 2 containers of Breakstone's. And they were dated to expire on May 12th. That's over a month past due. Either they had just sold out & nobody was dumb enough to buy the old stinky containers, or they stopped carrying the stuff. I grudgingly grabbed 4 containers of their store brand, Hannaford fat-free cottage cheese. Lo and behold, this stuff is FAR more creamy & has a WAY better texture than Breakstone's. So much for Breakstone's...

Today, June 26, 2009:

Water: 1 gallon ++

Cardio: 0

Meal 1- 5 oz turkey cold cuts (5 vlp), 3 oz low fat Swiss cheese (3 lp)

Meal 2- Medium popcorn @ movies... no idea how to classify that, since it's not on the diet. It's vegetable, but it's higher carb/starch than allowed.

Meal 3- 1.5 cups fat free cottage cheese (6 vlp)

Totals: 11 servings very lean protein, 3 servings lean protein, and um, laid off the veggies/fruit due to popcorn. Beats me.
