My Thursday...

So I bought this today because I had to buy $4.00 worth of merchandise at 7-11 to be allowed to use a debit card:

(this is what $4.00 worth of Buy-1-Get-1-Free! Twinkies looks like in my work desk... So how did I do...? We'll find out later.)

Right now is still Thursday, despite being a quarter to 2. Anything I eat after midnight gets logged for when I started my day - basically, my day ends when I go to bed.

Thus far tonight, I have snacked on 94% fat-free popcorn with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter sprays for 2 or 3 points, as well as four of these juice ice-cubes that I made. Actually, this one's worth sharing:

[tangent] I bought these natural fruit juice blends (guava-pineapple) that are high in sugar and then I figured out the serving size. So for 8 oz of juice, that's 4 points. I pour into a measuring cup with the spout, 4 oz (half-cup) for 2 points and then I pour the juice to fill the individual ice cube cubby (or what ever they're called) up to about 75-80% full or until a few are relatively full and evenly distributed. Repeat until all the ice cubes are filled up. Then I gingerly put foil on the top and press down to see the edges of the cubes. I grab toothpicks and poke through the foil at the center point of each cube. Freeze. Done. [/tangent]

Eating was good today. I indulged in one package of Twinkies... you saw six up above and I only ate one. Not a big accomplishment... Twinkies are that kind of food that you learn the first time that you don't eat more than two. I've been eating a steady diet of Hamburger helper the last few months for several reasons: cheap, easy to make, tasty. I had the sloppy joe flavor today with hamburger buns... so fucking good! dinner was about 12 points.

I went to the gym today, too! Was on the eliptical for an hour, totally rocking it. Fired Up! [Amazon Link] helped me get through the first half hour, followed by a few random tracks. The iPhone keeps me perfectly distracted (I read the news on google reader) so I can get through a lot of stories and then I check the time to see I have 30 minutes left. It's awesome. My gym sucks, but I'm paying $200 for a whole year of gym and I can use the nice/clean/not-ghetto gyms near my parents house in the bay area.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping for the best and that it's the same. Tomorrow will more likely be my cheat day, in which I go waaay overboard on the daily, activity, and flex points. Assuming that Obama is not speaking to an adjacent and empty podium, I'm drinking teykahtey and cheering my guy on.
