**June 5th, 2014**

Man, not so great yesterday.  It's only marginally over my goals, but it's really amazing how small differences add up over the course of the day.  Today, it was rainy so I got a ride to work from Jobim - that means I didn't get my usual 17 minute walk from Kendall square to work in the AM.  I did, however, walk from work to the subway.

**Activity: **Again, less active today than I was yesterday.  I didn't go for a run and I didn't walk as much as I usually do.  This is definitely furthering my resolve to stand at my desk more often than I sit at it!! Tomorrow I'll plan on biking to work and then I'm paddleboarding with a friend after work.  Hopefully that should make up for it.

**Calories:** Yep, not a great day. But that's okay! I knew going in that today would not be my most active day, so I tried to take in fewer calories.  At HubSpot that's sometimes a tough thing to do - there's free food at every turn! A lot of free food was left out at lunch, but I only took the salad instead of any of the extra fixin's.  I also made a point to have a quarter of a cookie instead of a whole one (like usual).  So, small difierences in my day.  
As for dinner,Jobim wanted to get takeout but I wanted to try my darndest to eat light that evening.  So instead of pizza we got sushi.  For the most part that's a healthy choice in the world of takeout.  Maybe next time I'll try to avoid tempura rolls.  Bonus: we did order all of our sushi with brown rice so that was a win.  
The easiest calorie deficit I could have done this evening (and didn't) was avoid my glass of white wine with dinner.  Better to go with water or tea instead.  At 170 calories, this did a lot of push me over the edge of my target goal.  I also have two piece of dark chocolate for dessert, but I'll argue that that's way healthier than a bowl of ice cream.

**Takeaway:** I did a good job of making compromises today but could do more. It would have been good to take a walk after or before dinner rather than crashing on the couch.  I'll consider today a baseline day for inactivity, and I'll im to make more of an effort at remaining active over the course of my day.  It really DOES make a difference!
