Today is Friday.  Yesterday was a fast day and today my weight is 226.  That's .5 lbs less than last Friday, so there's a little progress.  Again, next Monday a.m. will be the critical weigh in.  I'll try to do better this weekend.  I think my Sunday eating last week killed me.

Fast food yesterday was a grilled chicken caesar salad at McDonald's, with low fat Italian dressing, and an apple for lunch.  For dinner, two Taco Bell Crunchy Taco's, fresco style.  I seem to be gravitating toward fast food on the fast days.  The calorie count seems easily quantifiable--you just check the nutrition info on their web page, or use myfitnesspal.  Next week I'm going to try to make and eat some recipes I'm seeing on  other 5:2 blogs.  It could be that the fast food nutrition info could be inaccurate--lying and cheating in the name of profit seems to be coming a way of life in America.
