Well, I'm exceeding my .32 per day goal so far, though it's only been two days.

And while Beck did GREAT at Jillian's last night, I didn't do as well. I knew I'd have nothing to choose from for dinner, so I only took in 360 calories up to that point in the day. I ended up eating a grilled chicken BBQ sandwich, with some fries. And I had five BBQ chicken wings.

Somehow, I ended up with roughly 2,200 calories for the day. Not awful, though still about 201 calories over where I'd prefer I end up.

I still have a lot to learn, too. I look back on it now, and I likely could have asked for corn or broccoli in place of the fries, and I could have lived without BBQ sauce on the sandwich. Still, I think the meal was pretty real-world.

Did I get an A+? No. But did my preparation for the bad dinner keep me from failing? I think so, yes. I'd give myself a B- for the day.

I weighed in at 283.4, up .4 pounds from yesterday, but I'm pretty sure sodium played a part. And my average still dropped. So I'm pretty happy, actually.

Today seems like a good day for a controlled fast, though I woke up hungry. So, it's going to be a challenge. Maybe I'll snack on some carrots during football, then have a light dinner tonight.

If Beck's soreness from her trek yesterday is better, we'll be going on a 3-4 mile family walk today (Denver falls are amazing - 77, sunny, no humidity!), so that'll be 600 calories gone. And we may even go to the park and toss the football around after dinner. We'll see.

I want to see a 282 on the scale in the morning.
