I need to be more accountable for what I eat. I'm going to try to list my daily intake here (regardless of what it is, even if I've been bad) here so I'll have to face it if I eat something I know I shouldn't.

This weekend I went to Phoenix. Friday night went out to Sushi 101 with some friends. I'm always a little scared about eating and drinking alcohol, for fear I'll lose some of my common sense and forget to chew or eat to much or something. Everyone else had saki bombers, and I drank saki straight without the beer invovled. I ate none of the edamame appetizer (not because it's bad - it's a ton of protien, simply because I didn't need it). I ate maybe five sushi rolls, they went down amazingly easy - I was scared as I have had two fills and feel pretty good restriction. I made sure to chew well, which I tend not to do with sushi. I didn't even have an issue with the seaweed wrap. It was a delicious meal, I'm ecstatic I was still able to eat it.

From there we went to a couple of other places, where I drank a bit but turned down all food.

Saturday I made an omelet for breakfast - used three eggs. Don't know why I made that much, it was definitely excessive. But I wasn't able to eat it all, I ate just a little over half of it. I ate maybe 4 honey-hot buffalo wings just two hours later. I wasn't actually hungry, so I shouldn't have eaten anything. I realized I never drink water, so I made a point of trying to get in all my water yesterday afternoon. I didn't drink as much as I should, but better than usual. We didn't go for dinner until about 10:00 pm. We went to a sports bar, so not a huge selection for me (I never eat out this much, or at all really - it's one of the perils of travelling). I ended up ordering teriyaki chicken tacos, flour tortillas with chicken, pineapple, lettuce and tomatoes inside with some teriyaki sauce. They brought three, I ate the innards out of two (left the tortilla behind of course). My friend's steak fries looked delicious, but I didn't have a single one.

And that was my weekend. I didn't list the many shots of saki, and the sex on the beach drinks and some terrible green syrupy alcohol on Friday. And the bloody mary and 1.5 margaritas and 2 salty dogs on Saturday. But calories don't count if you drink them, right? Just kidding. I don't usually drink that much - I did avoid carbonation, but I'm sure I took in more sugar this weekend than I have in the past month from the juices and what not in my drinks.

I've now decided to fast for two days. My stomach's been weird and I just think it does a body good to periodically cleanse. I'll drink water (and water only - no flavored water or SOBE or FUZE or Crystal Lite or Gatorade or anything, just straight water) and a cleansing tea (and boy, does it cleanse) until noon on Tuesday. Then I'll rededicate myself to eating right. We'll see if I can do it, it seemed like a fabulous idea when I wasn't remotely hungry this morning - less of a good idea when I decided it was lunch time. I need to get up off my couch and do something productive, downtime still makes me terribly snacky.
