246. There it is after a week being on vacation. The weigh in wasn't a big disappointment but still nothing to celebrate. Actually not true, I fully expected to have gained even more so I guess good on me. Being on vacation is always a challenge when it comes to sticking to the program. If you look back at the food menu for the week you'll see some poor choices and some not so poor choices. The previous weigh in was 243 so overall only gained 3lbs. In the real world scheme of things not bad actually. Just means I gotta pick it up in the coming weeks. I also came to a conclusion about my leg/knee and that will help in the long run. I'm going to break up the weekly workouts into cardio and weight training. Should help the overuse syndrome. Alright here's what happened today:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with cottage cheese and 20oz of cold water.
After work out: Three street tacos with carne asada and a Mexican drink called Orchada.
Snack: Handful of almonds
2nd snack: Apple, banana, and almond butter
Early dinner: Turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich on whole wheat bread. Had all the veggies and Asiago cheese.
Later that night hung out with friends, which I haven't done in quite a few weeks. There was mini tacos, chicken taquitos, Circus animal cookies, salt water taffy. Pretty much a disaster of an evening when it came to eating. I know I will pay for it tomorrow.
Today at the gym L and I had a great conversation about how to incorporate lower body into the routine I'm starting. Every week I come away with new insight and thoughts about my workouts. We also talked about my weight gain and even though I gained weight, it was agreed that it wasn't that bad. Today's watchword was, "Don't get down on yourself".
