Morning: Banana nut Odwalla bar. I pretty much eat these b/c they're high in fiber and better than my old habit of egg and cheese on toast or worse -- the ol #1 from McDs. Bottled water. Couple of pretzels later on. 3 mugs of coffee.

Lunch: 12" cold cut combo (L,T, Hot Pepp,  at least i didn't have any mayo). Sun Chips. Orange Fanta Soda. That was dumb. Must get water next time.

Dinner: I made a pork center cut tenderloin with a crushed up salt/pepper, fennil seed, rosemary, dijon mustard, olive oil rub. Served with sliced red skin potatoes. I am a money cook. Ate 2 pieces and about 6 slices of potatoes. Washed down with a beer.

Alcoholic bevs: 2 beers, 1 Mikes Hard Lemonade.

cigs: 2

Exercise: Mowed lawn.

Where I could have improved - definitely on the lunch. Get a 6" club and water and baked chips next time. Still need to cut down on the beer and definitely no more smoking! I'm doing really well until I get home and then after the kids hit the sack I usually find myself looking for something to do and I have a smoke. Need to just make myself busy immediately after they go to sleep. I don't even want one and I don't enjoy it and don't usually smoke the whole thing. But for some reason I do it anyway. Stupid cigarettes.

Ok, so if you thought I was a giant fuck up before wait til you read about the weekend. Let me preface by saying that the weekends are tough. All of our friends smoke and drink. They bring their kids over and the kids play, parents have a few margaritas starting around noon and we chill on the deck or whatever. Quite the white trash lifestyle.

So Saturday. Activities. 2 hrs at pool. Did laps for 30 minutes during the breaks.

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs. OJ.

Lunch: 1 hotdogs w/ k & m. 3 pieces of sliced apple. some

Dinner: cheeseburgers on grill w/ tomato and lettuce, K&M.

Alcoholic bevs: Probably about 18 - 20 I lost count. 4 - 5 margaritas starting around noon. About 14 beers at a poker game at a buddy's place.

Cigarettes ... probably about 10. This is what I'm most bummed about.

-----------------------

Sunday.

Went to friend's house, they had a pool and I probably spent most of the afternoon in it with the kids.

Breakfast: Bowl of Life cereal.

Lunch: Grilled ham and cheese sandwich. bunch of cool ranch doritos until I realized I was going to pound the entire bag and jumped back into the pool just to escape. those fuckers are good though.

Dinner: Teriyaki beef, chicken, onion, peppers shishkabobs on the grill. holy shit i am Bobby Fucking Flay. Brown rice, fresh green beans.

Alcohol: an ass load over the course of the day.

Smokes: too many. 12ish?
