I wasn’t really focused on losing weight yesterday, probably because I didn’t really have a specific eating plan. My training class was kind of exhausting—it’s hard to sit down and slog through training material for eight hours a day. For lunch, I had a pizza from the cafeteria at work. I don’t know why I’ve been eating at the cafeteria lately given the mediocrity of the food. I suspect it’s just because my brain has been overtaxed and I feel like I need to eat something. For dinner, I had (once again) shepherd’s pie. I did have some sugar in the form of chocolate whipped cream. I know that’s weird, but it was something I saw at the grocery store and wanted to try, and I figured it was less damaging than ice cream.

Somehow, despite not eating mindfully at all, I still lost two pounds, so I was able to extend the weight loss streak another day. There’s still a bit more to lose to get back down to 250 pounds, and even more to lose to get to where I was before the Great Ice Cream Sale, but at least I’m making some progress. I’ve realized that, when I find myself straying from anything resembling mindful eating, there are times when I go absurdly overboard. The ice cream fiasco was one of those times.

I can’t write anything further because I’ve got to get ready for work. Hopefully I’ll have more to say tomorrow.
