Exercise
Planned on doing cardio in the AM, but the alarm clock won. I guess that means it's to the gym after work.

No treadmills open after work. Did the bike instead. Not sure I like it, but I did get a sweat going and did 7.25 miles in 20 minutes.

Thoughts
I feel pretty good. No cheating this week and it's already Wednesday! Only 2 1/2 more days to free day.

I spoke too soon. Our branch manager just pushed a cart of ice cream around the office handing out it out to everyone. Who does that?! I was weak and ate a cup of Graters Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. Here's how bad it was: 600 calories, 42 grams of fat, 56 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of protein. My god, no wonder we all get fat! No more cheating until Saturday for real!

I'm kind of proud of myself. In a weaker day, I might have decided to blow off the rest of the day after the ice cream, but I am back on track for dinner.

I'm thinking of making Friday my free day this week. I have a luncheon at work so it will be hard to stay on track. If I make it a free day I could get a bagel and hot chocolate for breakfast and maybe talk Eric into going out for dinner. I'm not so sure how hard the rest of the weekend would be though. I'll have to think about that some more.
