My Dinner on Oprah

Did you partake in the free meal from Oprah, yet? Well, there's still time (mid-May) to run to your local KFC and pick up some goodies. The grilled chicken tastes suspiciously like their roasted chicken from a few years back. I suspect it wasn't popular, which is why the menu item was retired. Now that people are taking a stronger interest in their eating habits and health, along comes the chicken with the lines (grilled) but, really roasted. Whatever. It was good. I kept it light-fare by choosing sweet corn (no sodium at all with this), a dry side salad (I added my own dressing at home), and a corn muffin in place of the biscuit (less sodium and fat). I didn't work out twice like I'd planned; however, I did mow the lawn (first time in my life!) and felt that was a super substitute. Here's the journal entry from yesterday:

Things are going really well. I'm now 184.8 and, even though a lot of it is water, I'm psyched by finding the magic bullet. I just hope I can keep it up. Cinco De Mayo is here and it's off to eat Mexican food at lunch. Mexican equals a salt lick. I will try my very best. [edit this diary entry]

Still doing well with my salt intake, although I had to "guess" on my tacos. That's all I had with some salsa and just a few of the chips on the table (maybe four).
