Day 5 - Lunch and Dinner

I strayed from the diet since I unexpectedly ended up away from home all day. But I didn't do bad. I went to Cosi and had a half sandwich and half salad (w/vinaigrette which I never do b/c I like fatty cream based dressings). And for dinner I had to use my free KFC coupon and try the grilled chicken... Thanks Oprah! It was ok, a bit dry and the pieces were tiny but it was free so who cares. Even though I don't feel too bad about my day I am going to try to not stray from the diet anymore. Ultimately I want to go to the 5 per week plan so that I have weekends to do as I please. Not so much as to eat what I please but to be able to go out to restaurants and such and just hang out without having to try to get back home for meals. But for now I want to stick as closely to this plan as possible because once I stray a little I usually stray a lot. And since this is still the beginning phase I don't feel comfortable with my determination on portion sizes and food choices (my husband had to pull me away from a brownie, a cookie, and a pretzel dog... I went kicking and screaming, he thought I was crazy. He just doesn't get it :)
