Crash Diet - Day 3 (oops)

Today started early for me - well, on 'not working' time. It would have been sleeping in on 'working' time. At any rate.

Physical Therapy - 7:30 in the morning. I slept like crap last night. Fell asleep around 1am (mind you, i was in bed by 10). woke up at 3:30. Fell back asleep around 4. Alarm goes off @ 5:30. Groan. Jason left house at 6, and I fell asleep again shortly thereafter, and got up at 6:40.

Not hungry though, which surprised me. Thirsty. Oh My God thirsty! I drank an entire glass of water (20 oz) before my appointment.

Physical Therapy was, as usual, painful. However, there is a cheer. I made it all the way from the PT exam room to the front of the building without needing my cane. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! First time I've walked without it (except little bits in the house) since the year started. I was super-happy with that. I have new exercises I have to do too. Whee.

After PT my plan was to come home, have a bowl of cereal, take tram. However, such was not to be. See, there's a McDonalds between PT and home. Like, practically in the same parking lot as PT. And as we're pulling out Jason nods to it and says 'wanna sandwich? or going to go home, eat cereal, and be good?' I hesitated. Yummy, fatty, salty, tasty badness...or cereal. Then, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said 'cereal.' Jason laughed at how long it had taken me to respond and took me to mcdonalds.

I love this guy. He knows what I want, even when I try not to want it. Sadly, this left me staring at the MCD breakfast menu trying to determine what would work best for my diet. I had a (very very very yummy) sausage burrito off their value menu. I looked it up. 300cal. So we'll have to be VERY careful today. Yes indeedy.

8:30 am - MCD sausage burrito - 300cal

I was very very careful afterwards. There was serious discussion of pizza for dinner, which I managed (narrowly) to avoid. I skipped lunch to try to compensate.

6pm: salad - 160cal
2 cups lettuce mix (15cal), 1/2 burger patty (w/ sister's help, calculated 1/2 patty at 125cal), 4 tbsp salsa (20cal)

7pm: popcorn - 50cal
A bit later, watching tv, i wanted a snack. I felt the need for something salty. I split a 100cal bag of popcorn with my friend who's visiting this evening.
