Easy morning breakfast. Mint chocolate Clif bar, peach greek yogurt, and some caffeine to wake me up. The dishes were still dirty from my egg breakfast so I couldn't make something in them.

Standard lunch. Ate it while watching people in the lounge play bughouse, a chess variant. I'm amazed at how not-polite people are when ordering at McDonald's. Not necessarily rude, but no one else bothers to say "Thank you" when they get their food.

Quick midday pick-me-up before heading into the High Energy Nuclear colloquium. I knew that if I didn't have something my mind would have a very hard time focusing on anything. As it was, I paid very good attention for the first half, where he was discussing the theory of what they were trying to do, then started spacing out once he started mentioning different accelerator experiments. That seems to be how it always goes.
As a side note, this was one of the first colloquiums where I didn't feel the need to go down the hall to the room with all of the refreshments and snag one or several cookies. That's a definite Non-Scale Victory (NSV).

Dinner was a pair of breaded chicken Bocca patties, each with their own slice of provolone cheese and spicy southwest mustard. I'm not a huge fan of the mustard, but I have a whole bottle of it and figured it might not be bad with these. It has much less of a mustard flavor and is more just piquant. In the microwave is a steamer bag of cheesy broccoli, which I had after the chicken sandwiches to round out the meal and add some more carbs (though most of it came from the bread, for sure). My stomach is super full from all of that broccoli though. Fortunately it's low calorie, and the cheese sauce really adds to the flavor.

I went to the gym today even though I really didn't feel like exercising because I want to get in the habit of going. Hopefully if I go enough it'll stop feeling like a chore on some days, and just feel great like it does on the days when I'm highly motivated. I walked for a while on the treadmill to give my legs a relative rest, then did a bit of weights. Earned an extra 236 calories from the walking.
