Weight: 180.2
Breakfast: 2 Yogurts, 2 Poached Eggs, 2 pieces of Toast, 2 Packets of Oatmeal, 2 cups of Coffee.
Lunch: 1 Salad from the Salad bar at Martin's.
Snack: A few crackers, 1 slice of Cake, 2 Yogurts.

Unfortunately, I broke down and had a slice of cake. Also I went somewhere different and got a salad there and I think it got me a little sick since my stomach was bothering me a little, the rest of the day. I'm not sure if it's the lettuce or the imitation crab meat.

I've been thinking of my cheat days and I decided to establish some ground rules which I hate to do but it seems like it's necessary.
New Cheat Day Rules
1. No more than 4500 calories.
2. I can have pizza or burgers not both.
3. No more than two different types of sweets.
4. No more than 3 doughnuts.
5. No more than 3 sodas.
6. If I have something "cheat-y" during the week I have the offset it on the cheat day (IE: if I eat a 400 calorie cookie during the week then I have to subtract 400 calories on Sunday).

Well my weight went down which is a good thing, though not as much as I would have liked. I ate a little more and walked a little less. It looks like I may be walking less this week since there is a heat advisory this week (It might get up to 105 degrees F or 40.6 C!). I'm also thinking about joining a gym, my apartment complex has a gym but it's kind of pathetic lol, though truth be told the money is kind of tight since I bought the car and I don't want to sign any contracts or anything.

My weight dropped more which is good, though I ate a little too much. It's still hot out but it was a little cooler so I did a little more walking. Since I had some mini candy bars (about 150 calories total) I have to subtract it from Sunday (so no more than 4350 calories).

Yeah I am feeling better and I'm pretty sure it was the heat, it affected my dad also. I feel sorry for my dog since I have to take her on shorter walks b/c of the heat and every time I try to bring her in she wants to stay out and starts whining! The closest mountains to where I am is a 2 hour drive. I wish there was frost! BTW thanks for the cool air lol, send some more!

I still feel crappy, the Bronchitis is getting better I think, though the side effects of the medication are killing me. I guess what they say is true about the cure being worse than the disease! To top it all off the dog has a case of the runs so there's sickness all around! Ugh.
