Day Twenty-seven

Had the day off so the eating schedule was a bit off.  I planned on going to the gym and getting in a full workout.  Best laid plans and all, I ended up going to the chiropractor.  I had a stiff neck from the Sat work out and decided that I should take care of that now instead of later.  The chiro felt I should take a day off.  I ended up going for the first bike ride of the year and it was fun but a bit chilly.  Went for 40 minutes.  I can't wait for the weather to get better.  I'm really a fair weather rider, won't ride in bad weather.  So today was a good day overall.  I seem to be having those a lot lately, which is a good thing.  Here's the story:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich.  No avocado or tomato, just thin bun and egg and smoked turkey.  Also no banana.  Hadn't gone to the store yet but still got in the 20oz of cold water.

Lunch: After the bike ride I had lunch.  Chicken burger on rye bread with tomato, avocado.  Sweet potato fries (from Trader Joes) and pop chips (finished off the bag).

Snack: Had nibbles of stuff as I prepared lunch fixings for the week.  This week will be Mahi Mahi chunks with cauliflower, tomato, a green veggie mix.  So had to try the Mahi Mahi and then the cauliflower (roasted in oven).  Also my new thing, yams.  Roasted in the oven on a cookie sheet sliced thin.  Yum!  Not much just a cauliflower chunk here and a yam slice there.

Dinner: I had made more quinoa and this time I tossed in a can of black beans.  So I had two low carb tortillas filled with avocado, quinoa w/beans and two each felafel's.  Quite good and encouraging for lunches this week.

Tomorrow is the game day at friends right after work.  I am going to have a snack in the afternoon at work so hope that will help stunt my appetite for the evening meal.  We'll see but I also have faith that I can once again just eat a normal size meal and not go overboard.
