How Can I Be Eating That Much Sugar?

"In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats about twice as much as nature requires." 
- Benjamin Franklin

I'm getting sick of drinking so much water, but I think it's doing something for me.  I feel like I'm being flushed out.  I nearly forgot to have a second bottle at work today, but I pulled through.









Today was the first day I put everything I ate today in The Daily Plate.  I did pretty well calorie-wise.  I consumed 94% of my daily recommended calories for losing 2 pounds a week, 100% of my fat, 75% of my cholesterol, etc.  As you can see, I really need to reign in my sugar intake.  I also need to boost the amount of fiber I'm consuming.  My diet was also high in protein and low in carbs today.  I've heard protein is a good thing, but did I have too much?

I've definitely been feeling a little blah about losing weight.  It was hard to get started at the gym tonight, and I'm getting hungrier and hungrier.  I hope this is just because work has been tough this week and I'm worn out.  It's too early and I've been too successful thus far to hit a slump already.

I'm exhausted and it's time for bed.  You've got less than 24 hours to vote on if I will take the Plunge or not.  If you're not sure what I'm talking about, click here.
