All right, definitely no food journal today. It would be nearly impossible to figure out everything I ate. I finally figured out how to update this blog from my hotel room here in Wyoming. I haven't totally figured out the keyboard for this laptop, which isn't mine, and I am way too tired, so bear with me.

How is this whole diet thing going here in Wyoming? If you don't want me to be honest, it is going well. If you do, however, wish to hear an honest answer, then it is going well only because I haven't totally given up on the diet.

When I say I haven't given up on the diet, I mean that I won't be giving up once I get back to Colorado. As for the first two days I've been here, it hasn't exactly been Healthfest USA. I haven't worked out and I haven't eaten very well at all.

There are reasons, although none really serve as good excuses. My reason for not working out is simple. Time. Most of the time I am following around the basketball team. Today I went to breakfast, went to the shootaround, had to line up a freelance photographer, laid down for a few minutes (because I was up writing articles until 3 a.m. the night before), and then I had to go to tonight's game. After that I came home and wrote, watched film with the coaches, and now, at 2 a.m., am settling down to do this entry. So that is why I didn't work out. However, I am going to walk tomorrow, even if it is just up and down the street looking for a CD to buy for the ride home Thursday.

As for the eating, it is pretty simple: I haven't tried that hard to eat well. There have been a few times where I was put in a bad situation, but I guess the only frustrating thing is that, with a little effort, I could be doing really well on this trip. There are two Subways in this town and the buffet at the games was, get this, stocked with six-inch Subway sandwiches yesterday. That was nice. I haven't gone completely crazy, though. I woke up today and had two bowls of Special K from the breakfast buffet. And I easily resisted the main courses on the game buffet the last two days: First smoked sausages and hot dogs and then barbecue beef. But there were other things that got me. I gave in to a sweet tooth today and had some Rice Crispies treats, and I went to Subway yesterday and got a Spicy Italian, my real favorite sandwich there.

I went to lunch with the coaches today and that ended with a lot of calories and fat. I tried a little bit. I got fajitas. But then someone ordered nachos for the table and the coaches swore that the bread was big time. So I had some bread and it turned out it was deep fried and garnished with some very sugary substances. It was amazing.
