Day one 1/23/2012

Ok here we go for the first actual entry of my year of food talk.  First up is something I'm trying as an incentive.  Women lose weight to fit into that bikini or the little Black Dress, so I am taking a page from their book.  Even though I will admit you don't want to see me in a bikini or a little black dress, so Saturday I purchased two shirts that I quite like and really want to wear at some point.  The trick is, they are size extra large.  Currently I am wearing 2XL shirts and yet ten years ago I was wearing XL size shirts.  So it's not that far out to expect to be able to lose the weight and wear these shirts.  One is prominent in my closet up front and the other one ( which I really like ) I have hanging from the top of my bedroom door so that when ever I walk thru that door there is the shirt.  This worked for me when I was trying to get down to 250lbs.  I had a pair of black jeans  that at the time wouldn't fit so I kept trying them on as I lost weight and when I got close it just made it that much easier to not have that second cheeseburger.  Ok my food intake for the day.

Breakfast:
My version of the egg mcmuffin, thin bun,egg(microwaved),avocado,slice of tomato, and 2-3 slices of roast beef.  A banana.  Oh and 20 oz of cold water.
Snack: Greek Yogurt w/handful of Almonds.
Lunch: Low carb/high fiber tortilla filled with Spinach,avocado,roasted cauliflower and brussels sprouts.
Snack: PBJ w/low carb/high fiber bread.
Dinner: Spinach salad with Salmon burger (Trader Joe's version), carrots strips and cottage cheese w/Hummus dressing (also TJ and quite good)

So there we go first day food blog.  I went to the gym after work and did one of L's routines.  Which was a weight work out.  We've talked and I need to be doing more cardio and for now not worrying about weights, but I still need to do some weight work outs and will do two maybe three a week with the rest of the week either resting or cardio.
