I fell off today. Started the morning well with a good breakfast and good workout and then had to rush out to work without packing lunch. I had planned to go to Whole Foods for a good lunch, but with the realization that I was short this paycheck and money stress hitting me with a sucker punch, I felt a bit down and out. Headed to corporate deathburger and ate till I was sick for less than half of what I would have paid at the healthy store for far less portions. This is the precise roadblock that goes up and thwarts my progress every time. I can't get stifled by it- just a minor set back. I will work my ass off tonight and eat salad for dinner. Mea culpa.

I did my best to make up for the burgers by working out pretty hard in the evening. I limited myself to just chicken broth for dinner, however, I really wasn't that hungry until my wife started nibbling on some chocolate. I fought the temptation by retreating to bed.
