Getting back to the big questions...

- Did I exercise today? No, I aim to get back to the gym next week. It is not nearly as important to me as diet at this point. I've heard, and based on personal experience believe, that weight loss is 85% diet [citation needed].

- How did I do on portion control? Excellent, I've weighed, measured or counted everything that I've ate or drank for the past few days.

- Was my food today healthy? Tricky question. Portion control and calorie counting doesn't make food healthy. I've eaten 100 calorie packs of cookies and chips, they are still junk food. Overall my food has been healthy.

- How was my hunger level today? Under control. I have been hungry before meals which is expected.

- Did I control my alcohol consumption? Yes, I measured 1.5 oz. servings and counted points. Even though under control I'd rather not drink on school nights. I'll work on this.

- What was my favorite rationalization today? I had an apple for breakfast to shave a few points to help offset lunch. I had plans to meet a friend otherwise I've been packing my lunch. I will research where and what I eat before I leave my desk to avoid menu temptations.

- Am I closer to my goal today than I was yesterday? Yes, I don't count mid-week weigh ins as anything but motivation but I'm down 2 pounds since Monday. If I can keep my stuff together for the weekend there is no reason to believe I won't lose 3 pounds by weigh in on Tuesday.
