It's easy to talk about the last couple of days, because I think they have gone pretty well. Yesterday I was very careful about what I had to eat. Breakfast was a yogurt and a plain bagel - no cream cheese. A few hours later I had about of cup of trail mix - very yummy. Lunch a simple PB and J sandwich, some baked potato chips and a Girl Scout Cookie(darn those Girl Scouts). Dinner was some glazed carrots, rice and a chicken parmasean Mark made, which was wonderful.
Today was a running day. I ran a hard 3 miles. I cranked up the speed and ran the last mile on a hill program. I was tired, but felt oh so good. Foodwise today - a bowl of Life cereal and a scone. Lunch - a tuna sandwich with some cheese and spinach. Dinner - potato soup.
While I am not ready to weigh myself, I felt good, and that is a bit more important. I haven't felt good in a while about my body. I would say I looked pretty favorably on myself.

Good on you, Charlie!
The one thing that strikes me looking at your list is that it doesn't include many vegetables, or even many fruits. Except for the spinach with your lunch, the vegetables you list are also fairly starchy (glazed carrots, potato soup). You might consider trying to add one more serving of a low-cal, high-fiber fruit or vegetable a day?
But regardless, you should be proud of yourself. This is hard stuff, and I can't tell you how much your running journey has inspired me.
