Another day logged. Plenty of sweets still but protein was very good, fiber on target, and cholesterol just a little high. Lots of chicken. Heading into the weekend with dinner out Italian tomorrow night, wedding Saturday, and a Cardinals whip the Cubs at Busch on Sunday. It will be tough but I will persevere. Three days of beer will not be kind to my program so I will have to make some sacrifices. I did get in a 20 minute workout tonight - felt good. It was a new Leslie Sansone toning/walking. Not terribly hard at all but did put a sweat on and used heavy enough weights that my upper body feels it from the reps. Till tomorrow.

Was 464 over yesterday but I logged it, at least the best I could. Scale was up this am too. Go over go up, predictable trend. Wedding tonight and shall try to do better.

All logged for the day. It was a good day. Hiked with the dogs down to the swimming hole this am, yard work this afternoon, normal dog walk this evening, and a 20 minute workout. I had over 18,000 fitbit steps and still and hour and half of today left. Might make 20,000, that would be the 3rd time this month! That is very good for me since I work sitting on my butt. I didn't at all blow the day's calories at the wedding. I was seated a long way from the bar and was upstairs. Also wore a jumpsuit making bathrooming somewhat of a chore. The wedding cake was sliced so thin you could see through it. Anyway, it all kept me in line. Ballgame tomorrow evening. Another day, another test. Till tomorrow guys.

Made it through the weekend. Ballgame last night had a lot of rain delays but the Cardinals came out on top sweeping the series from the Cubbies. I past on the Bud Select last night and had water. Calories were all logged and I think just a few over. Somewhat confusing since I put the stop at Steak N Shake on yesterday's log but all the steps from it would have been on todays since fitbit resets at midnight. Of course my fitbit seems to reset at will. I lost a couple thousand steps that I had after midnight when it decided to blink out this am. Scale was down this morning, the lowest this month. Keep on loggin.

Another day logged. Looks OK on paper but I feel I had way too much sugar. I will do better tomorrow. I have done my 20 minutes of workout 5 days in a row now. Not a lot but something.

Two days now without my extra workout. I have been over my 10,000 steps both days but that really doesn't do it for me. Hosted a birthday dinner for my friend's husband last night. Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Moonlight salad, corn on the cob, garlic bread, and blueberry delight. I had nothing in excess and only drank water. I didn't detail log it, used my event feast entry and detailed it in the notes. Back to the ballgame tonight as the Cards take on San Diego. I will try to be good. Tomorrow off to Pere Marquette state park for an afternoon of hiking and a picnic before watching the fireworks.

I did not do the perfect job of logging dinner yesterday. It was a picnic after our hike and I failed to log the 10 cherries I had and didn't do a good job on the dips. I am not a big dip person so I just tasted two of them basically, maybe a TBS on a piece of celery. But I logged the big stuff and realize there was more. I didn't log the hiking either, just let fitbit give me credit for the steps. Lots of flooding on the rivers, some of the hiking trails were under considerable water and had to use a back way into the park since the great river road is closed in places. Did about 5 miles, enjoyed a picnic, and then watched the fire works display at Alton IL to finish the evening. Good day.

Finished logging yesterday this morning. Did a pretty good job of the logging part but I did not like my numbers. Calories were OK but protein and fiber numbers were low. I also didn't drink near enough water for a hot day spent mostly outside working around the farm. Maybe I forgot a couple bottles?

I have logged the 6th, 7th, and 8th. Protein needs to be higher, calories have been good enough. Water is not up to par. Have had some real sugar cravings lately. I have got 4 workouts in the last 3 days so that is a good thing.

I did not do a good job of logging last night, tried to finish this morning and forgot my dessert. I couldn't get enough to eat last night. After getting home from work I had ribs (just a taste) then went for a quick 6 mile bike ride, did chores, walked the dogs, watered the flowers, then had pork steak, pita chips, corn on the cob, steamed fingerlings and baby carrots, salad, berry gellette with cinnamon ice cream...I was so miserable. Doing better so far today. Have a 30 mile bike ride tomorrow. The Tour De Donut. You get minutes off your time for every donut you eat. I feel like I was training to eat donuts not ride my bike!

Went out of my way to log over the weekend and had some good food and some good numbers! Had a great weekend too.

Another two days of complete logging. Numbers good. Got about 25 miles on the bicycle today, that felt good. Scale is creeping down i think. Need a few days yet to call it a trend.
