Run for Freedom: Day 13

Today, I almost fell to my arch nemesis - the almighty French fry. I was coming back from an interview in Newark and I stopped by to see Chuck at work on my way home. I got a drink at Starbucks . . .and right across the street is Burger King. I imagined getting some French fries. Just a small, I reasoned. Nothing is off limits. I want to make that clear. And I don't believe a small order of French fries will kill me - or my weight loss efforts. But there's an addiction there. And I knew in my heart that it was too soon to test the waters of will power and moderation when it came down to the one thing I cannot resist. I will eat French fries some day. But not today.

Spent an hour on the elliptical. Not too bad today - thanks to the premier of Survivor. Today for breakfast I just grabbed a graham cracker. Lunch was a wrap with guacamole and vegan ham and cheese - also some carrots and strawberries. Dinner was leftover pasta. And I also indulged in a soy mocha frap. For a late snack I had some graham crackers with cookie butter. Total calories estimated at 1400. I'm not counting calories but I was curious to see how much I consumed including the mocha frap. Turns out my favorite sweet drink is only 200 calories. Thanks, soy.
