What I ate: December 4, 2011

Breakfast: Homemade whole wheat bagel with 2.0 oz. lox, cream cheese, tomato and red onion. And a mimosa.

Snack: 0.7 oz. peanuts.

Lunch: Hot dog and potato chips. I plan my menu a week in advance but sometimes I'm not in the mood for what's on the menu. And then I run down a list of (literally) a couple dozen things that I have the ingredients for until I find what I'm looking for. Today, it was a grilled Hebrew National beef hot dog on a Barowski's wheat hot dog roll with Kettle Chips barbecue potato chips.

An Ommegang Abbey Ale, a Belgian-style Dubbel, brewed in Cooperstown, New York.

Dinner: Iron Chef Chinese buffet with Mom and Dad.

Weight at beginning of the day: 113.0 lbs.

Weight at the beginning of the next day: 115.0 lbs.
