Papa Johns - Not so bad if you only have 1 slice!

Last WI: 214.2/At Home WI: 214.4 (better!)

TUESDAY

Well I was good yesterday but not perfect. Eh - such is life. I ate my lunch I had brought from home yesterday at work. I wanted to leave work early to get a run in before our Monday night poker tournament. Well I did leave early - about 3:30, but ended up getting home and just resting before it was time to leave. The Monday night gig's go so late, I didn't want to be too tired today. I did eat TONS of veggies yesterday. A huge salad for lunch. A bowl of spinach with dinner and a bowl of green beans too. Lots of good protein with eggs and cheese. Not a lot of meat yesterday except what was in my taco soup. Oh and a fresh tomato too with dinner. Yum. I left at 6:45 for the poker tournament having 6 points left for the day. I "hoped" to not use them and just credit them against this weekend's indulgences but - it was not meant to be.

A friend, Matt, hosted the tournament last night and he had ordered Papa Johns pizza. I ended up limiting myself to one slice of thin crust pepperoni and a few potato chips. So, all in all not bad. Actually it was probably 8 pts total (6 for the pizza and 2 for the chips) but I'm not too upset with that - generally a good show of will power. Going over only 2 pts yesterday was all good. We got home late - like 12:15. Then chatted in bed for a while. Finally to sleep at 1:00 AM!

Today I DESPERATELY need to work out. It's been 6 days since I earned ANY activity points. So - the plan is simple. I think I'm going to do subway for lunch. I didn't bring lunch today. I don't want to get sick of my taco soup and salad lunch, so I need to mix it up occasionally. After work, I'm going home to run 6 miles. The weather is nice today (been very cold lately) so I shouldn't have any excuses. Plan to stay home tonight and eat good - not eat any of the AP - and try to eat less than my target points. I need to get that at home scale at or under 213.0 before Thursday!

On good news - I ended up doing well in the tournament last night. Of 15 players, I got 3rd - good for some money and some points. :-)

I think it'll be a good day today. I just learned that the judge released the juror's for the rest of this "trial week". What that means is that after the case he's trying now (which my boss is doing) there won't be any more trials this week. What that really means, is that with the exception of tomorrow when I'm going to see the Court of Appeal's oral arguments, I don't have to wear a suit anymore this week. :-) I love my casual office. I get to wear jeans!
