Notes:
10:03 am: Pretty good job getting through the weekend keeping busy and not eating too much junk food. In general though, I need to tighten things up on the diet. My slip-ups the last week haven't been horrible, but they haven't been ideal either. One thing that really puzzles me though is the calorie consumption. Even if my estimates are way low, I should still be dropping weight based on that alone. But, the fact is, even though I keep my calories down AND I avoid carbs and sugar on most days AND I'm doing CrossFit 3-4 days each week, the weight just barely comes off. I must have the world's slowest metabolism. That's the only thing I can think of.

12:25 pm: Okay, so after what I just wrote above, I still went for the sushi at lunch today. I guess I'm getting burned out on salads all the time. The problem is, there aren't that many other options at lunch. I could start doing the entrée, which is normally either pork or chicken. Another option would be to start bringing my own food - beef, chicken, pork, fish - and eating several small snacks throughout the day. I could also start frying a couple of eggs each morning and then saving the protein shake for later in the day, or maybe even just an hour or two later.

Breakfast
2 eggs
slice of ham
Apple

Lunch:
Entrée ala carte

Snack:
Protein Shake
Nuts

So, maybe something like that will work better. But, it will take a little more work in the morning.
