What was that about a Magic Bullet?

Oh yeah, baby. I think I found it. Today's weigh? 184.8

Okay. So, I know it's probably water but I am totally psyched! This is really an eye-opener for me and I'm really trying hard. The workouts are continuing and the other aspects of my eating plan are in place. The difference? The salt-lick I so lovingly cleaved to during all my other weight loss attempts. I also know that I'm not delusional. There will be slip-ups and days where the salt will just be there...like today. It's Cinco De Mayo and we're going to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. Let the salt fest begin!

I've already identified the higher salt items and have regaled myself to one of the following items:

1 Beef Tostada 187; 8g; 152mg

2 Chicken Tacos 410; 22g; 330mg

1 Chicken Quesadilla 420; 20g; 570mg

1 Bean and Cheese burrito (not smothered) 413; 21g; 600mg

I'll take a little cheat sheet to place in my purse. I hope my coworkers don't think I'm crazy when I oh, so subtley check the list to see what jives with the menu. Price is also a factor, too. I hate spending $10 on lunch and have been refusing to do so for a while.

Here are yesterday's stats:

May 4th, 2009

Calorie goal: 1,352; calories consumed: 1,355; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 1,355

Mood: Motivated

Worked out to Hooked this morning. Hard to tell what the calorie burn is with these workouts, but I'm guessing around 250-300 calories. I was sweating like crazy (probably from all the water I've been drinking). I drank 88 ounces of water before 5:00pm today. Hopefully that's the trick to keep me from going to the bathroom so much during the middle of the night. [edit this diary entry]
