So I figured I would get this down before I forgot. First up good news in the motivation department. I am back to my before holiday weight, 250lbs. Yay me! Of course I had a bit of help there. L has been great getting me to look a bit harder at my diet and that's a good thing. I also feel a bit more committed to the gym. If you were doing the math you'd find I actually went to the gym during the week three times. For me that's not a record but it's a step in the right direction. Currently on Tues and Friday I have social interactions that interfere with working out and I don't foresee that changing. I also don't think that's a bad thing as long as I am trying not to over indulge during those interactions. Which up to this point it has been a challenge for me. Especially the Tues get together, Friday not so much as I'm actually at home so I have better control over what I eat. I think that Tues' solution is to just remember that there is only one pass at the food trough. Friday I just need to plan better and plan ahead. Instead of thinking I will stop on the way home and grab something from the store, I need to have a dinner plan in place. When I get home from work I can throw together the dinner and snacking menu and then focus on the situation at hand (WoW). Alright here's the food blog so far today:
Breakfast: Oatmeal w/cottage cheese (2 big tablespoons)and honey (1tblspoon)
After work out meal: Two fish tacos/one carne asada taco, 3-4 pieces of cracklin (fried pig skin)
Mid-afternoon snack: Greek yogurt w/almonds
So that's it up to this point in the day. I had a great workout with L and a good discussion about the consequences of food. Talked portion control and possible snack substitutions. I guess I will need to start buying apples at the store.
Ok more later. I'm off to my Saturday get together and it's ham nite???
