or trying to anyways…
Breakfast 7:45am: Homemade whole wheat and flax seed waffle with local butter and real maple syrup and water
Lunch 12:30ish: 2 tbsp of spinach artichoke dip, handful of homemade pita chips, half of ham sandwich on buttered white bread (ahhh bread contraband!), 2 tbsp of lebane (I’m totally butchering the spelling of this Jordanian cream cheese spread–apologies to my Arab brothers and sisters), a banana, handful of walnut/pecan mix, and triple chocolate Klondike bar (and yes, I ate at my Gran’s today….can’t you tell?)
Dinner 5:30ish: 2 heaping cups of Veggie Booty, 1/4 of an organic chocolate toaster pastry, small fries, 2 apple slices with peanut butter, wagon wheel pasta with homemade basil walnut pesto, and water–I know–completely random assortment of food. It’s called I was ravenous and yet didn’t feel like cooking a proper meal 
Physical activity: Ran slightly over half a mile today–sounds weak, but it’s progress for me, folks–10 slow-and-control (SC) push-ups, 20 SC sit-ups, 10 SC military presses, and some yoga/Pilates/dynamic stretching thrown in for good measure.
Assessment: Refined sugar is the devil–chocolate can be great in small doses of the organic and non-refined sugar persuasion–and unless I work it off, it sends me straight into a sugar crash coma–as what happened today On a strangely positive note, my nap did help me feel better as I’m fighting a slight cold. I need to just say no to refined sugar!
