Day 9
Weight: 315.4
Breakfast: Oatmeal, a glass of Milk, and a cup of coffee.
Lunch: Wendy's Classic Double large combo meal w/ a Dr. Pepper
Snack: An orange and a peach
Dinner: Marie Callenders TV dinner (Chicken Teriyaki) and a 2 cans of Pepsi.
Late Snack: 2 Tums
Exercise: 3.5 hours of walking.
Since its been a week I decided to treat myself and boy did I regret it. I went to Wendy's and I'm not sure if it was the fact that its been 2 weeks since I've eaten Wendy's or the fact that I dipped my fries in the creamy sriracha sauce, my stomach hurt off and on for the rest of the day. Well at least this will help anytime I'm tempted with fast food again.

Day 10
Weight: 314.6
Breakfast: Oatmeal (Three packets of Instant), a glass of Milk, and a cup of coffee.
Lunch: Beef brisket w/ BBQ sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and a 22oz. Cherry Coke.
Snack: A peach
Dinner: An orange, a glass of milk and a can of Pepsi.
Exercise: 3 hours of walking.
I wasn't sure Beef brisket was bad for you or not, so I tried it. At least it wasn't fried, though it wasn't that great.I should've tried the pulled pork instead.I had an early work day so I took a nap when I got home, which I regretted b/c I woke up late. I also had to walk my dog.When it was time to eat it was past midnight and I din't want to eat something big so late and I didn't want to skip a meal entirely so I had an orange, plus I finished the rest of the milk. Also I think I'm going to bring in something to measure the amount of creamer I put in my coffee I don't want to put too much in.

You're a calorie burning machine especially with all the walking you're doing 
so keep making gradual changes like trying to cut down on the soda. Even if the numbers do bounce eventually don't let the day to day numbers freak you out. Daily numbers can spike temporarily due to things like eating salty meals but the weight will keep coming off as long as you keep burning more calories than you're eating.

Day 12
Weight: 314.0?? (See Below)
Breakfast: Cut up Cantaloupe, a glass of Milk, and 2 cups of coffee.
Lunch: Beef and rice, mashed potatoes, peas, a few pieces of Orange chicken. and a 20 oz. Cherry Coke. Also a few free samples (A piece of tempura Sushi and a piece of cookie)
Snack: An Orange and Theraflu.
Dinner: Healthy Choice TV Dinner (Country herb chicken) and 2 cans of Pepsi.
Exercise: 2 hours of walking.
Ok I don't know if my scale broke or what but there was a large variation when I weighted myself this morning. I woke up early in the morning to use the bathroom and I stopped to weigh myself, I weighted 313.8. ( I was disappointed, but not surprised I figured the earlier weight was a fluke). About an hour later I woke up and weighed myself again I weighed 316.0. (What?? I know I strayed a bit, but 4 pounds??) I went to the bathroom again and weighed myself again, and I weighed 314.0. I felt like I may be getting a cold so I drank an extra cup of coffee also the Theraflu (Which may not have worked since it says to drink within 10-15 minutes and it took me longer to drink it b/c it tasted NASTY.) Also, I need to stay away from the free samples. The reason my walk time is half the time I usually walk, it's b/c its raining pretty hard.
BTW thank you everyone for the encouragement.

Hey Matt,
Don't get too caught up on the individual day's weigh ins bouncing around. Happens to us all and the main thing is not let it get you down.
Sunday is a good day to plan out the lunches and dinners for the first half of the week and see if you can find some soda alternatives.
Cheers,
K&D

Day 14
Weight: 313.5
Breakfast: 1 Bagel,1 yogurt, and a glass of Milk.
Lunch: 2 packets of Ramen noodles and 1 Pepsi.
Snack: 1 Hawaiian Punch and cut up Cantaloupe
Dinner: Healthy Choice TV Dinner (Sweet and Sour Chicken) and 2 cans of Pepsi.
Late Snack: Yogurt
Exercise: 4 hours of walking.
Well my weight went down so that's a good thing.I did eat more than I should have, I have a bad habit of eating while I'm bored. That's one good thing about working 6 days a week. K&D I did go online and to the store to check out some alternatives to soda. I tried 2 different kinds, but they were nasty. There was a brand called Stevia, but it was only sold by the 6 pack and a 6 pack cost $3.50 and it was on sale! I settled on getting a 12 pack of Hawaiian Punch, not the best, but it's only 80 calories.

Day 17
Weight: 311.2
Breakfast: 1 Yogurt, 2 packets of oatmeal a glass of milk and a cup of coffee.
Snack: Some nuts and a banana.
Lunch: Piece of baked chicken breast, vegetable lo mein, roasted corn and mashed potatoes. 1 20 oz. Pepsi.
Dinner: 1 can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti, 1 apple, 1 can of Pepsi and 1 can of Hawaiian Punch.
Late Snack: 1 apple.
Exercise: 2.1 hours of walking.
When I weigh myself is it ok if I use the bathroom first? Or is it cheating? Anyway, today was payday so I went to the grocery store and got some sandwich and salad stuff so I can bring my lunch a few days out of the week. I was going to see if I could find something to replace mayonnaise however as it turns out mayo w/ olive oil is like 235 calories and dijon mustard is 0 calories. I ate the last can of spaghetti, though I have to finish the ramen noodles and the pepperoni pizza hot pockets.
