Day 9: Realizing How Boring My Eating Habits Are
Thursday morning weigh-in: 154.8
Down from yesterday; not much, but down.
A boring, caffeinated morning…
• Time Hortons medium black coffee
• work coffee w/cream & sugar
Followed by a boring morning waiting for lunchtime. Looking at the lunch, I wonder what all of the anticipation was about…
• Honey Crisp apple
• Yoplait blackberry harvest yogurt (6 oz)
• banana
• Arizona pomegranate green tea (16 oz)
At least the afternoon zipped by, no thanks to that uninspirational lunch. And dinner? Hah!…
• chicken pot pie
• water (12 oz)
Really?
At least I had a couple of salty snacks while watching The Goldbergs and Project Runway…
• roasted salted almonds
• cheddar & sour cream potato chips
I'm beginning to hate potato chips. Maybe I could convince the city council to outlaw them in Tonawanda. Luckily...
• home-made banana bread (a very thick slab)
ended the night on a good note, intake-wise.

Day 8: Nothing To See Here...
Wednesday morning weigh-in: 155.4
• coffee, Eight O'Clock (1)
• Al Cohen's rye toast w/butter (2)
DMV, School Tax payment day, grocery shopping.
Woo-Hoo!
• leftover chicken/cabbage soup (1 bowl)
• leftover pan-fried chicken breast strips (2)

More shopping and errand-running.
This is turning into a very exciting day.

Watched a hilarious episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway with The Boy while shoving a small quantity of…
• Clancy's Wavy Potato Chips
into my face.
Then watched some of the Yankee/Red Sox game before putting a DVD of War and Peace into the DVD player. An almost four-hour long movie. Lasted about a half-hour in.

Day 7: Grinding It Out
Tuesday morning weigh-in: 155.2
Must have been eating just that one Lay's potato chip that saved me.
Picked up a...
• coffee, Tim Hortons medium black
on my way to work. It was one of those mornings, so I also had a
• coffee from the work coffee pot (see below)
What is it about the coffee wherever I've worked that made it almost undrinkable? Adding cream and sugar is the only way I can manage to force this stuff down no matter who makes it. Ugh.
A morning of the computers being dead in the water finally led to lunch…
• sliced hard-boiled egg on a biscuit
• McIntosh apple (1)
• Wegman's fruit-on-the-bottom raspberry yogurt (6 oz)
• Arizona pomegranate green tea (16 oz)
An afternoon of the computers still being AWOL led to me finally going home at the end of the day to dinner…
• pancakes (3) w/Mrs. Butterworth's
• slice of pan-fried ham
• scrambled eggs (2)
• Nature's Nectar mango passion juice (12 oz)
That juice has the most vibrant color of any juice I've ever had. I'd love a car in that shade!
Snacked a bit — just a bit — in the evening while watching the new Fred Savage/Rob Lowe FOX comedy The Grinder. Had a few laughs, but I'm not sure how it will hold up. Will try it again next week.
Oh yeah, the snacking…
• Lay's potato chips (the last handful in the bag)
• ice cream sandwich (1)
• Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Cider (12 oz)
• leftover chicken breast strip (1)
• Fire-Roasted Tomato/Olive Oil Triscuits (6, and 2 broken ones)
And I think that was that.

Day 6: Take THAT, Bert Lahr!
Monday morning weigh-in: 156.2
If I haven't gained two pounds over the course of a weekend it was a good weekend.
An unusual Monday spent at the store working on a special project, so the day started with…
• black coffee, Tim Hortons medium, 1
Not much to report until lunch…
• Wegman's fruit-on-the-bottom strawberry yogurt, 6 oz.
• McIntosh apple, 1
• nectarine, about 1/3 before I realized it had gone bad
• Arizona pomegranate green tea, 16 oz.
• leftover Wegman's chocolate cupcake, 1
Hey You! Back to work!
Finally came home to dinner…
• pan-fried chicken breast strips, 3
• oniony mashed potatoes, 1 large pile
• steamed baby carrots & lima beans, some (who counts beans & carrots?)
• Not Your Father's Root Beer, 12 oz. bottle, 1
Did some dishes before sitting down to do a little writing. But not before I snacked on…
• Lay's potato chips, 1
That's right, one potato chip, just to see if I could do it. And yes, it can be done.

Day 5: Visiting The Doctor
Sunday weigh-in: 155.2
Somehow it's the same weight as yesterday. We won't complain.
Another weekend morning, another actual breakfast. Well, not much of one come to think of it…
• coffee, 2 cups of Eight O'Clock
• Al Cohen's rye toast w/butter, 2 slices
then it was off to church. And no, we're not counting taking Communion and wine every Sunday in our end-of-day tabulations.
Some of you will shudder when I say I then headed off to Tops for a few things; I then came home and did some laundry and had a bit of lunch…
• sliced hard-boiled egg on a biscuit
• Millville Sweet & Salty granola bar, peanut, 7.4 oz., 1
• water, 12 oz., 2 glasses
which led to Sunday's bike ride down the Niagara River pathway into Buffalo, where I roamed the lower West Side for an hour or so, Upon returning home, I refreshed myself with a…
• hard-boiled egg, 1
while planning dinner. Which turned out to be…
• grilled cheeseburger on a bun, 2
• garlic mashed potatoes, a mound
• steamed buttered baby carrots, 1 Dad-sized portion
• Genesee Light beer, 12 oz., 1 can
All of this as we watched the DVR'd latest episode of Dr. Who. Halfway through the show I began snacking (ugh!) on…
• Lay's regular potato chips (too many)
• Diet Vernor's, 12 oz., 1 can
and called it a night. A night where, just about the time the lunar eclipse was about to start, the clouds rolled in. So we weren't able to see the thing we wanted to see disappear.
