Day 3

I woke up at 9 with only slight anxiety over my (short) paper that was due today. I wrote it and turned it in by 12. Now the day is mine! :)

Weight: 142.2

(late) Breffy: 2 hard-boiled eggs and 1/2 brie.

Lunch: none

Dinner: Steak n Shake frisco melt with cheese fries and a chocolate shake.

Yes, that was a major pitfall day. It was worth it at the time, but I'll probably have to make up for eating that junk. Strangely enough, when I weighed myself the next morning I was still 142.2.

I should mention, at this point, that I'm also doing the Atkin's diet in the hopes of lowering my triglycerides by eating fewer refined carbohydrates. The upside to this is that I will also lose weight. So, I'm not concerned about "eating junk and putting on weight" so much as I'm concerned that this pitfall will halt the lowering of my triglyceride levels and will probably make it harder to change that number. So, the fewer pitfalls, the better. Especially when they include eating a bunch of refined sugar, potatoes, and breads. It was SO good, though.
