Cart before horse

Normally I do a detailed planning phase before starting any new endeavor and in doing so I'd have had my first few days of food planned out.....

This time things worked differently and I was "in it", FULLY invested in the plan, and got going without much planning on the food for the first few days. I know that this is going to be a long road and my first goal is 5 weeks away so I will get it together quickly but not having a plan has hurt me already. :(

Here is a short food log so far: (I think I'm going to have to log as much food as possible for the first few weeks/months in order to have something to look back on later if needed.)

1st meal in was a dinner and we had to drop of my son somewhere that had us out and about. Great eating out for the first meal of a "diet"....swell.

I picked McAllisters Deli and did ok I think but could have done a lot better..

Wild Salmon Sand. on Wheatberry bread
small cup of chili
side of coleslaw

What I should have done is steamed vegetables and something else but this place is 20 yeards from the Road House where 99 times out of 100 I would have went there over the deli and had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and cream gravy so it was a better choice but not excellent by any means.

For breakfast I've had 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1 scoop of Muscle Milk with water. This is probably ok on paper as far as stats go but I feel the poor planning here and will get some eggs today. I'll get the best Whole Foods has until I can get better eggs at the farmers mkt. this weekend.
