Smoothie in the afternoon on our walk to the pet store.

1 square of dark chocolate and some M&Ms after dinner tonight.

delicious chocolate cake with ice cream for a multi-birthday celebration. my birthday was a few weeks ago, but that didn't stop me from enjoying a tasty treat!

Trader Joe's dark chocolate with almonds. the last of the xmas candy.

most of a dark chocolate bar from xmas @ 10pm. it lasted almost a month until i broke into it - that's a record for sure.

sweet&salty peanut bar thingy. that's all for today - i have no more food in my desk.

Up in Mammoth on a snowboard trip. The cabin we are in had cookies for us, so of course they had to be sampled, then wolfed down. Yum.

dark chocolate zone bar. not sure if i'll have lunch today, so that might be it.

Doing ok on the snacking so far, but now it seems like i'm compensating by eating more at regular meals. Plus I need to get some exercise. Hopefully when the rain stops I'll get out for a ride or something.

busted open the bag of M&Ms. there was football on, so we had to.
then some leftover birthday cake appeared and we had to have some of that too.
i guess we're skipping dinner.

forgot to blog yesterday, but i had a zone energy bar thing after lunch.
and tonight was a skinny cow ice cream sandwich - yum

strawberry yogurt - yum

sweet&salty nut bar, and some xmas licorice. time to stop with the snacks for today.

Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar. should tide me over until lunchtime.

dark chocolate zone bar. gotta do it.

more cake, as instructed by my wife, who would like to eat it all, but would then complain about it.

already hungry at work. yesterday my coworkers gave me a birthday card and a chocolate bar. i'm going to eat one of them right now. try to guess which one...

birthday continues

chocolate cake and chocolate chip ice cream--tasty

Morning snack - Chocolate Peanut Butter Zone bar. Should get me to lunchtime.

My wonderful wife made a birthday cake, chocolate with chocolate frosting with crushed up thin mint chocolate cookies in it. We decided to have some a day early because it looked so tasty. Of course there was ice cream involved as well. Off to a great start!

So tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 41 years old. It reminded my of that commercial for some home gym thing where the guy says 'I'm 41 years old and I'm in the best shape of my life.' Well that's not me...yet. I'm not really too out of shape, overweight or anything; just not where I want to be. By this time next year I plan to say that and have it be the truth. And I might be running a marathon next December, so there's that too.

There are plenty of reasons why I'm not in the best shape. The most obvious one is constant snacking and this blog will help me with that. Every time I snack you will hear about it. Hopefully there will be decreases in the frequency and severity of my snacking.

If I feel like it you might hear about other things too, but for now it's mostly about the food.
