Day 4 - Garage Sale Time!

Starting weight: (-) 2.6 lbs  Sadly, when I step on the scale, it still screams at me the following - in a British accent - and I quote:  "WOULD ONE OF YOU PLEASE GET OFF?!?!?!?!"

Yeah, yesterday I didn't do great, but I'm cool.  It was not so bad for a BBQ day.  Today, here we go!

Today's challenge - NOTHING!  It was a garage sale at our house.   We basically just hung out and sold a bunch of crap that we were going to throw out. 

Breakfast - I kinda was not paying attention and I skipped breakfast because we were so busy setting up for the garage sale.  And then we were surprisingly busy for the next few hours.

Lunch - I made a cold cut sandwich - Low sodium turkey, pepperoni, yellow american on a bagel thin.  ***Side note - these bagel thins are the ticket.   Only 110 calories, they are whole wheat, AND they really taste like bagels- just thinner.  Being I love bagels so much, this is a great great great option.  They are also great for breakfast - instead of stopping at Dunkin and getting a bagel and donut, I can have a bagel thin and maybe a granola bar a few hours later to hold myself over.

Snack - 1 serving of goldfish. 

Throughout the day, I also drank a large bottle of low calorie gatorade.  Raspberry Lemonade.  Jasom Timochko and Shane Kress make fun of me for drinking this.  They once took the bottle while I was away and labeled it "TOXIC."  I didn't realize they were Brittany Spears fans . . . . .  womp womp.  It's good stuff.  The whole 32 oz bottle has 75 calories, 17 sugar and 17 carbs.  And it got me through a large portion of that garage sale, along with a few bottles of water.

Dinner - This was a really nice meal.  I was sitting on the computer and Kristyn was in another room.  I had no idea she was making dinner!  We had some baked chicken breast + some pasta and broccoli.  I had a bottle of water with that.  In addition to the picture shown, I had 2 small chicken strips.  Used ketchup as my comdiment.  Could do without the ketchup I'm sure, but why would I? :-)

Snack - Had 1/2 serving of goldfish and then 1 hour later 2 slices of yellow american cheese.

JOEY V'S "A-HA" MOMENT OF THE DAY!
So we were having a pretty successful garage sale financially - and Kristyn says "We should order some lunch!"  Such a typical thing to say.  My initial response was "YES!!!!!!! Pizza, BBQ, Burritos!"  I didn't care which, it was going to be glorious.  Then I stopped and thought for a minute . . . . . . . "hmmmmm . . . . . . We spent a ton of money on groceries the other day and we have lots of food in the house.  If I order a pizza, I will eat 4 slices.  If i get BBQ, it will be a pulled pork sandwich - large, fries, boneless buffalo wings and a soda.  if I get a Burrito, well, it will be a huge burrito from Panchos.  So I stopped myself and said, "I am going to make a cold cut sandwich so I don't overeat."  WHO AM I?!?!?!?!?!  I think Kristyn and I were both sad about the food choices, but our stomachs were happy that we did well and our scale will thank us tomorrow.

That takes care of the "what I would have eaten" for lunch.  For dinner - I would have had more chicken and more pasta, for sure.  And less broccoli.

Daily Wrap-up - Definitely will be back down tomorrow after yesterday's somewhat of a rough day. Tomorrow, I go to work.  It's the day before band camp!  Lots to do.  I will bring all of my meals from home and I will not stop at Dunkin on the way in.  I'll try to stay away from the Red Bull in the morning, but I may get it just for fun. . . . . . . . we'll see.

Fact of the day:
I decided to go back and check out my first J-DOC blogs from 2010.  I must say, they were just filled with excuses and horrible eating.  Here's to making this round better than that one!  Make sure to let me know if you are reading!  It will keep me on track better, I think!  I don't want to have lots of bad days, and I don't want you to all think I'm a dumbass, any more than you already do!
