212 last night, 207 this morning...

Fasted yesterday for about 20 hours then ate about half my calories for the day...

Aside from that I managed to stay mostly near my goals w/ the exception of my brother's birthday, where his wife decided that homemade cake was likely to be cheaper, of course it wasn't nor was it cheaper from a caloric perspective. It was about two or three times the calories and that saturated fat was mostly off the charts.

210 finally the right direction.

I dredged up the goals the cardiologist gave me a few years ago when I went in weighing 204, I figured 6 lbs were not likely to have changed the recommendations much, and jumped back on the counting wagon.

So the goals are:
Calories <= 1650
Saturated Fat <= 12 grams
Cholesterol <= 300 milligrams

In addition I tacked on a no trans fat goal for myself.

I dumped all of this into a Google doc that I'm using to track the numbers. Here's how I faired yesterday:

Woke up to 212 woo....
Breakfast:
Had the Hy-Vee knock off cereal for 170 calories
Lunch:
A PBJ for about 410 calories
Snacks:
peanuts and raisins
Dinner:
ramen w/ garlic and hot sauce and an apple

Just overall feeling like I need to do something about my weight and overall health just can't seem to get enough sleep to get up to exercise and I don't want to do it late at night because the energy rush of exercise is enough to keep me up for a couple hours.
