Picking up the thread

Morning weight: 250.2. Getting there. Here's what the system demanded today:

On the way out of the house: a sweet-and-salty pretzel granola bar. On the train, a can of Diet Mountain Dew. At North Station, a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich from Dunkin. At work, ten ounces of iced coffee, with three Coffeemate creamers and four Splenda. Around the lunch hour, two bottles of Diet Mountain Dew and a meat-and-cheese snack stick. Mid-afternoon, two stroopwafels and three peanut butter-filled pretzel bites. After work at Barnes & Noble, where I sat for an hour reading Herder and clearing my head after a busy day at the office, a bottle of Diet Pepsi and a bag of salt-and-vinegar Pop Chips. At home at around 8, a turkey and cheese sandwich with mustard and tomato on a potato roll, and two pizzas of leftover pizza from Rye & Thyme. After dinner, a slice of "Single Layer Red Velvet Cake With Cream Cheese Icing" from Hannaford's.

I'd have liked a salad with dinner, but our salad greens were all mush and rot.
