For three of the last seven days, I've consumed fewer than 4,000 calories per day. Yesterday was a very bad day. I decided to put it behind me and more forward.

I know what I did today that hurt me. I worked at the shop and missed lunch, so when I had to stop at the store to buy cheese for tonight's enchiladas, I also bought a Diet Coke and a can of Mixed Nuts. I love mixed nuts, but I fail to eat them in moderation. A better choice would have been to buy the cheese and nothing else, come home, and make up a yummy salad. I could have pigged out on salad (and I would have enjoyed it), gotten more veggies, and consumed a whole lot less fat.
