Yesterday was such a tough one I didn't weigh because I'm just not in the mood for more bad news.  I know, that's a defeatist attitude.  I'll buck up!

Diet Day 77 Breakfast

I had a strange breakfast this morning which included Nutrisystem Biscotti Bites (chocolate and plain) and a half of a cup of Fage 2% Greek Yogurt.  I opened both packages of bites because I wanted to taste them. I only ate the equivalent of 1 bag total. If you are inclined to eat cookies for breakfast I thought the plain one tasted pretty good.  I really like the crunch.  The chocolate was OK too but I don't go in for chocolate biscotti, I'm more of a purist.

This was not my ideal pre-workout breakfast but it sufficed.

Diet Day 77 Morning Snack / Lunch

When I got done with my workout I had things to tend to in an effort to unravel some of the events of yesterday.   As usual it took 3 times what I planned so I missed my morning snack.  When I completed all I could do for the today to gain control of my life I hit the road.  We took a drive to the beach for a quick lunch.  I had my usual half of a sandwich eating only half of the half of the bread.

After lunch we took a medium walk that includes a gigantic staircase.  Locals use this for their workout by jogging up and down, back and forth.  If I lug my sorry carcass up and back one time I view it as a success. 

Diet Day 77 Afternoon Snack

Once I made it back home I dove in to get more chores taken care of so I slacked off my snack regime once again.  

Diet Day 77 Dinner

We decided to walk a couple of blocks to a local spot for some appetizers that might suffice as dinner.  I rarely have luck finding healthy options but I lucked out today!  There was an offering for fresh house-made gazpacho which came with 3 medium sized boiled shrimp.  This was perfect!  The dish was a small portion but really hit the spot.  I knew I'd have a snack later when I got home.

Diet Day 77 Dessert/Snack

Boy am I in a dessert rut.  I had the Kirkland Nut Bar, again.  I can't think of a better combination than dark chocolate and nuts.

Diet Day 77 Wrap Up

With my staircase/beach walk and my walk to dinner walk I was still short some steps.  I hopped on the treadmill for 15 minutes at about 3.4 mph.  I hit the 11k mark and left the treadmill pleased with myself.  I made the best of a couple of bad days.  All is well. Tomorrow is Saturday and I look forward to my weigh-in.  Have a great weekend and I'll check in tomorrow.
