The good news is that the hungries did not chase me into sleep; what a spectacularly restful night. But I definitely woke up still hungry hungry hungry. I got through my 8 oz of water pretty quickly, despite the gagginess.
Breakfast was my usual predictable choice: 1 slice toast (110) with 1 tbsp Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, chunky (105) and homemade crabapple jelly (50), and 1 cup of skim milk (45).
Changing my workout time today; I have to work 1-5 at the Y and I can't see going out into the cold before that. So my plan is to work out directly after I close the Y. I'm a little worried about follow-thru, but dude it is COLD out and I am tired of it just now. We'll see how this goes.

dang...bedtime summary
Okay I HATE reconstructing a day at bedtime. But I feel like I need to stay after this, cuz my downhill slides tend to be wicked. Let's see. I was at 355 calories for the day as of my previous post.
Had lunch out with my mom - Chinese buffet. Ate a big plate of all sorts of meat/veggie dishes (random calorie guess: 400), with only about 1/3 cup of pork fried rice (110). Also enjoyed hot & sour soup, along with water and hot tea.
Had a small banana (90) and 1/4 oz (literally, 2 small bites) extra sharp cheddar cheese (27) for afternoon snack.
Supper at a friend's house: reduced fat wheat crackers (130) with spinach dip (100), salad (10) with ranch dressing (100), spaghetti (300), and garlic bread (250).
Hot chocolate with whipped cream (along with good conversation) (300).
Total for the day....
2172
I am soooooooooooooooooo hungry and it's 10:38 pm. Pondering whether to eat or try to sleep it off.
**EDIT** I remembered I forgot to count the hot and sour soup (159). That puts my daily total to 2331.
I had better just call it a day.

workout and a banana
Well I stayed with the elliptical again today (not doing very good on "varying my workout.") In 30 minutes I went exactly 2 miles and burned 345 calories.
When I got home, I spent about 30 minutes with the snow shovel (the wind WILL NOT WIN!!) so I have definitely gotten the fullness of workout accomplished today.
Snack before I head off to be productive: 1 small banana (90)
Bracing for the cold.

good morning frozen arctic tundra
I'm up, but the wind chill news and such is discouraging me from going out before dawn. Gonna sit here at my computer and watch the sunrise, and THEN when it seems safe I'll head directly out to the workout.
The water for washing down the acai tablets was an easier go than usual this morning. Whew.
Breakfast is 1 slice toast (110) with 1 tbsp Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, chunky (105) and homemade crabapple jelly (50). I'd have milk with it, but I'm out. Note to self: buy milk.

yesterday final tally
Well I made myself a nice bowl of leftover homemade cranberry sauce and settled in with my book. I had taken several bites when I realized I was eating because it was in front of me, and because it tasted good...I'd reached "full" while pondering what to eat. I estimate that I ate 100 calories worth. So yesterday's total will be:
1910
I'm happy with that.
Feeling good about the fact that I stopped even though there was still A LOT left in the bowl. I chose what was best for me rather than a "clean plate" and that is not a natural choice for me.

hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry
Snack at work this afternoon: fresh, hot homemade bread (big slice) made by a member (200) and homemade strawberry jam (45) WOW DELICIOUS. And a bunch of water (feeling pleased about that.)
Supper tonight: relied on leftovers, since I worked an hour later than expected. So it's 1 cup jasmine rice (205), 4 meatballs (300) with cream of mushroom soup (25) all over again.
I'm still hungry. HUNGRY! Let's do some calculating:
1810
Yippeeeeeee!
Gonna take my time figuring out what else I want.

mid-day check-in
Well I resisted eating again before work. Drank a lot of water and a big bottle of diet pepsi when I got there.
Home on my lunch break; thank God for leftovers. Lunch is 1 cup jasmine rice (205), 4 meatballs (300) with cream of mushroom soup (25) and a great big glass of lightly sweetened tea (60).
Spending the night at my sister's house tonight...I wonder what's for supper?
Let's see where I am, calorie wise, so far today....
1035
Okay, that's enough calories to play with.
