Bad Breakfasts

For the past 1.5 weeks or so I've been getting a coffee (normally a tea drinker), breakfast sandwich or bagel or breakfast roll, and a donut. I've also been  eating sandwiches and getting lunch dessert, and snacking freely. I haven't exercised, but that's more due to laziness than actual avoidance. I expected to see a spike in my weight, but that doesn't appear to have materialized.

I have noticed that my belly seems to be getting bigger, even if my weight hasn't increased. I felt a little more moody at first, but I think my mood has stabilized over the last week. I am also starting to feel a little catch in my throat, after an abnormally healthy winter. That could be due to lack of sleep, lack of exercise, or mere coincidence, but I maintained health despite those factors at other points this winter. 

By the end of this week, I'd like to start exercising again, and try to improve the diet and then see if I can reduce the belly size, improve overall health (particularly my knee!), etc.
