Day 109

So going to get a bit personal here.  Felt some depression today.  I know it's not cool to do the woe is me.  Can't help it though and in a way I think it's perfectly normal and actually cathartic in a way.  So today I felt like I was gaining the weight back that I'd lost.  The shirt (one of the ways I judge weight loss or gain) that I was wearing today was tight or at least it felt tight.  A few weeks ago my belt almost fit comfortably into the fourth hole where as today It almost seemed to not want to enter the third hole.  As the evening wore on I did feel better and even felt I could acknowledge the depression.  Have to keep reminding myself of the big picture.  I say that alot but it's true, gotta keep the big picture in focus.  And the big picture is that yea I probably have gained an inch back but tomorrow or the next day it'll be gone and I'll be back to where I was.  Lesson learned, no free lunches, you have to work to get results. Alright enough, here's the food of the day:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich with egg, tomato, roast beef, and avocado on skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

Snack: Greek yogurt w/almonds

Lunch: Wrap with chicken meatballs from Trader Joe's, quinoa, and roasted cauliflower sprinkled with cheese.  Went for a walk afterwards.

Snack: Cherry Pie Larabar

Dinner: Salad with roasted cauliflower, feta, quinoa, tomato, avocado, roasted beets, and a veggie patty.  Three pieces of candy.

So followed L's advice today and started a habit.  Went for a walk after lunch.  Wanted to go for a walk before lunch but spaced it.  So instead of not going at all like last week, after I finished eating lunch.  It was a very nice day so well worth it.  It was only 20 min but will work up to a full half hour.  Went to the gym after work and did a weight work out.  I think that's where some of the depression came from.  I feel like I'm just going thru the motions.  It seems that the leg/knee did more than just make it hurt, it took some of the wind out of my sails.  I can get it back I will just have to work thru it and put some effort into the work outs.
