Day five

So after five days I've lost three pounds(255) and my clothes continue to fit better.  I was at three belt loops and had gone done to two and am still there comfortably so expect to get back to three soon.  I didn't work out on Friday other than my morning routine which really isn't a work out, more of a way to get my metabolism going after 8 hours of sleep.  It's mainly body movements with a set of push-up/squats that I do.  Which I do M-W-F with Tues/Thurs same body movements but instead of the push-up/squat I do a superman.  The superman is laying on your stomach and lifting alternate leg and arm for 5-10sec.  I do three sets of 8-10.  The push-up/squat consists of a pyramid type of work out that goes 5 push-ups/1 squat, 4 push-ups/2 squat and so on until you've reached 1 push-up/5 squats.  This a variation of the original which starts with 10 push-ups/1 squat and so on, until you reach 1 push-up/10 squats.  I have run this as starting with the ten push-ups and by the time I finished I was doing the push-ups on my knees.  It's a killer.  It's called the 55 workout because when you've finished you've done 55 of each exercise.  Ok on to the food for Friday:

Breakfast: the same as everyday for breakfast.  Some might think I'd get bored with the same thing everyday but I like eggs and I change the meat from roast beef to turkey or sometimes Canadian bacon and that seems to help change it up.
Snack: Greek yogurt and almonds this is also the same almost everyday it's only different if I forget the almonds and occasionally the yogurt.  Of course the flavor of yogurt does change everyday.
Lunch: So this week I went with Subway.  I had a 6" roast beef on 9 grain wheat with all the veggies including avocado and no cheese.  I drank water and didn't have chips.  So I avoided the "make it a meal for just a dollar or three more" pitch.  Oh yeah not that it's a work out but I do have to walk about two blocks to get to the Subway.  So total of 4 blocks to get my sandwich.
Snack: I skipped the afternoon snack as I wasn't working out after work and my dinner was planned but I wasn't sure if I would stick to it.
Dinner: I had purchased an oven baked chicken breast from the store and shredded that into a spinach salad with a small yellow zucchini, tomato, carrot chips, and a couple of scoops of cottage cheese.  The dressing I used was store bought, olive oil vinaigrette Tropical Mango(30cal/10g fat/5g carb/4g sugar) good taste and I didn't use a lot but probably more than a serving.
Late night snack: Yes I did have a bowl of 100cal popcorn around 9pm (didn't go to bed until 11ish)

So that's my first week day effort.  The weekend is always different as Saturday I meet with L and have an awesome hour workout and then later that night I generally get together with a group of friends that can turn into a nightmare in the sense that we plan a food smorgasbord and it goes all night.  When I was going to the nutritionist we talked about trying to just consider it a meal and not graze all night.  HAHA right that will work when everyone around you is eating and eating.  So this Sat will be the first meeting of the new year and I will be honest and record it in all it's glory.  I doubt it will be pretty.
