I found an WiFi hot spot in, of all things, a Starbucks in a BiLo grocery store in Clemson, SC. Amy and I are in nearby Seneca for a wedding of one if her college roomies (she's the Matron of Honor). Amy is getting all gussied up, so I've got some time to kill. I thought I'd update the blog while I have the time.
Only one day into my vacation, and I've been bad already. Sigh. I just don't have will power. If there isn't food around, I'm OK not going out to find any. But if it's sitting on the table in front of me, it's tough to not just keep shovelling it in.
Diet Update
Dinner 10/7 (Wendy's):
Spicy Chicken Sammich
side salad with as little light ranch dressing as I could stand, about 1 tbsp
20 oz iced tea
Breakfast 10/8 (continental breakfast at the Days Inn in Jellico, TN):
1 english muffin with 1 tbsp margarine
4 oz peaches
8 oz milk
6 oz yogurt
8 oz coffee
16 oz water
Lunch 10/8 (Firehouse Subs in Easley, SC):
8" sub w/roast beaf (~3 oz), chicken (~3 oz), lettuce, onion and tomato (~2 oz total) and ~ 2 tbsp mayo
4-5 Baked Lays chips
40 oz iced tea
Dinner 10/8 (Rehearsal dinner for the wedding at a mexican restaurant):
20-30 tortilla chips w/ salsa
fajitas (beef & chicken, ~3 oz each) w/ onion & pepper (~2 oz total)
2 flour tortillas
~1/4 cup refried beans
~1/4 cup mexican rice
30 oz iced tea
Looking back, I could have been a lot worse. The big problem is the same one I've had all along, very little in the way of fruits and veggies.
Breakfast 10/9 (continental breakfast at Days Inn in Seneca, SC):
1 english muffin with 1 tbsp butter
24 oz coffee
8 oz OJ
8 oz water
And I'm sucking down a 16 oz coffee here at the Starbucks.

TOM, TOM, TOM, stop being so hard on yourself. You are doing awesome for being away from home. Something that helps me: When I am filling my plate, I mentally divide it into halves. I fill half with fruits and veggies and then I divide the other half in quarters. In one I put a carb and in the other a protein. I hope that helps. Give Amy my love. I hope the wedding went well. I miss you both and am hoping that Amy will be able to join you for D&D at the end of the month.
Piglet,
I think I did a little better today (the new post will come in a bit). Thanks for the advice. Haven't talked with the missus yet, dunno about our end-of-the-month plans....
