Part III Day XIX

Except with Chocolate, not Vanilla.

Assessment

Day 19 - Today was a productive day. I started with a trial run of 'The Miracle Morning' - doing an abbreviated version of the S.A.V.E.R.S. it asks you to spend an hour focusing on each morning - Silence, Affirmations, Visualizations, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing. I'll be writing more about this in my Win Anyway blog today.

Checked off a lot of todo's, got moving on some video work, gained a couple of clients, gave a strong, if overtime, evaluation at my noon Toastmasters club - a productive day.

The one hiccup was the 'eating plan'. Being up a pound in the morning always sets me up, er I always LET it set me up for a letdown. I ended up at Costco and, well, the berry sundae and pizza is always a temptation, and it got me, er, I LET it get me, again. Sigh.

Still, a solid B plus day.

Food  
Day Eight - Steak & Eggs, 2 KFC Breasts, 2 pudding cups, 3 cookies, a little popcorn.

Day Nine - ate out at a buffet, and had sherbet at home. Didn't overdo, though I am up a couple of pounds.
Days Ten & Eleven - not a lot of food, but all bad stuff - popcorn, candy, cookies, ice cream - the usual suspects. And a great bacon cheeseburger yesterday
Days Twelve & Thirteen - not terrible, actually - mostly on the diet. Some donuts yesterday, that was bad. Today, some spiced, diced chicken, brisket....and two cookies. So close to being perfect.
Day Fourteen - spiced, diced chicken, brisket, 2 KFC chicken breasts

Day Nineteen - fell off the wagon. 2 Bratwurst, then the trip to Costco killed me - berry sundae, 1 1/2 slices combo pizza. At home, had two peanut butter chocolate wafer things, a few more chocolate chips, and chips and salsa. Could have been worse.
