Day 8 - March 28th

Today is Day 8. It's the first day that I won't be doing exercise in the morning. I will have to work out sometime this afternoon or tonight. Last night was interesting in terms of food and beverage. I had a diet coke. Michelle told me not to but I was craving the carbonation. McDonalds was our choice of dinner--fast, easy, cheap. Of course, Nick has these amazing Oreo Balls. I only had 2. Desserts in moderation--that's my motto.

This morning I am drinking approximately 20 ounces of water and eating a granola bar for early breakfast. Tonight we are going out, so I have to really watch my calorie intake during the day. Web research shows that alcohol really adds to weight gain because the drinks are full of calories with no nutritional value. Most people tend to drink many drinks (consume many calories) and then continue to eat the same amount of food during that day. It becomes even worse when many people tend to eat a lot of food after they started drinking, eg. ordering pizza, half-price appetizers, pizza rolls, etc. So, word to the wise--don't drink and eat too much.

Today was supposed to be the weigh in but since I left Warrensburg yesterday, I had to weigh myself yesterday. So look to a previous post if you are wondering what I weighed!
