Day Ninety-five

First day of vacation and I didn't go to the gym.  I went to the chiropractor and we talked about my leg/knee.  More insight into what I needed to do to fix it.  I will say that not going to the gym and doing stuff to aggravate it was the best choice.  I do plan on the gym tomorrow and I'm going to try to create a system where I'm not doing the same thing everyday.  It sounds like that would be a good idea to prevent future situations like the current one.  This week is going to be interesting to see how I can control the eating, as at least when I work there is a structure that I can follow.  When I'm on my own it's harder to think about only eating at certain times and eating correctly.  You will see what I mean when you read my food choices for today:

Breakfast: Greek yogurt and almonds.  20oz of cold water.

no snack but...

Lunch: A bacon cheese burger with seasoned curly fries.  It was from a local burger joint and I added avocado to the burger.  I then had some baguette with spinach dip.

Later: Wheat thin chips with spinach dip

Later still: Apple with almonds and more Wheat thins

Dinner: Really wasn't feeling starved so it took a while for me to eat dinner.  I ended up having a Tipali fish sandwich.  This was a skinny bun with fish, avocado, and feta.  I also had a serving of quinoa and feta.  I had two glasses of red wine.  One during the day and one with dinner.

You maybe wondering what I'm doing to have lost 45lbs in the last 6 months.  I want to lose in total enough that by the end of this year I will weigh close to 200lbs.  In a way that is healthy and won't leave me with loose flab.  So far it seems to be working.  I think that eating the right food and working out with L was the best decision I could make.  As I've said this is not a diet but a change in life.  I want to live forever and if I can't do that then at least live as long as I can and as well as I can.  I believe I'm on the right track.  Stick around and we'll see.
