diary .... uhhhhh

i'm about to head to knoxville for the third time in a week, and i can feel the calories and fat content of my past few meals going straight for my waist. sigh. i'm trying to motivate myself to go workout before i leave, but i'm so tired (and have such a big headache) that it's not going well.

this is how my fall will be. trip after trip after trip to knoxville + exhaustion - physical activity = pounds adding up. i've been through this before in the spring and last fall with my long-term out-of-town assignments. i know i have to do something now or risk yet again gaining the unwanted pounds.

so here goes. i've got a food diary. i hoped to not have to resort to obsessing over every single thing that i eat, but i have few options. and, when i have to start weight watchers in a few months (i know it's coming), it won't be such a challenge to track my points.

lets see, first entry

weight: more than anyone would guess

food eaten today: (so far) some milk and cereal, a handful of honey-wheat pretzels, a ham sandwich and an apple

physical activity: walked dogs, sat on couch, about to sit in a car for three hours.

i've got some work to do.
