Wednesday, 3/3 (T minus 5 days)

So I went grocery shopping after work and the gym last night, so I could get on the right track. The diet officially starts Monday, but it started unofficially today -- well, after breakfast, which consisted of chocolate-filled Hamentashen, which doesn't even count because it is practically a religious observance. After that, I ate:

Lunch: 6 steamed chicken and basil dumplings with peanut sauce, side of edamame (that counts as a vegetable!!!), small bunch of grapes

Snack: Apple

Snack: 1 Laughing Cow cheese

Dinner: Bison meatballs and a cup of pasta with tomato sauce

Snack: Small low-fat ice cream cone

That seems to be following the plan, though what worries me is there isn't really a way to track it. I'm used to Weight Watchers, where everything has a point value, and you know how many points you get a day, and you write it all down. Now, I'm not totally sure if I stayed within my allotted calories, went over them, or what.

I definitely failed at drinking enough water today. On a normal day, I could go the whole day drinking nothing by my morning Frappucino. Yes, I know it's bad, but it makes me great to travel with because I never have to pee. Now, I'm supposed to drink 1-2 Liters of water a day. I bought a 1.5-Liter bottle, and drank it all yesterday, but was not as successful today. I think part of the problem is the thing is too damn heavy to lift to my mouth. I'll try a smaller bottle tomorrow.

Did not make it to the gym today, as I worked til almost 9:00.
