Dateline Wuxi, China, October 08, 2012

604 calories this morning in my 31 minutes on the elliptical.

Zhong qiu jie, the mid autumn festival holiday is over.  Back to teaching this morning.

A full cup of oatmeal with a few banana chips Ruth turfed from her muesli this morning.  A smallish bowl of soup over brown rice for lunch.  I think I also ate a banana at some point in the day.

Shared a glass of wine with Ruth this evening, and put some cheese chunks on our green salad.  Does this count as going off the program?  Well, yes.  It counts as not being strict.

I find that now that my belly is back to a reasonable size, I’m not highly motivated to get rid of the last layer of fat.  But I do want that six pack.  Must get strict again.
