Day 142

242.  So no movement as far as actual weight but I still say the 4th belt loop is a good sign.  Every week L asks me how my week was.  It's both social and investigative.  Of course she's interested in the fact's of how my life went.  At the same time inquiring about how I did or didn't do when it came to working out or overeating.  We all ways go over how my knee/leg is doing and if I've noticed any other pains associated with working out.  I always let her know if anything is amiss and frankly sometimes I feel a bit like a hypochondriac even though that's quite far from the truth.  It's important for both of us to understand how I'm doing.  For L it let's her know I'm not hurt so she won't exacerbate the injury and for me it let's me know I'm getting fitter.  That was how it went this week when she asked.  I had been thinking about how I sometimes got a bit winded just walking up a small series of stairs to pick up my mail.  I don't feel that way at all anymore.  Also some of the exercises I've been doing have gotten quite a bit easier in terms of how my body moves to execute them.  So even though I still didn't lose any weight this week I still know I'm shaping up.  Here's the idea of what I ate today:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with lemon curd and cottage cheese.  20oz of cold water.

Meal after workout: Three street tacos with carnitas.

Dinner:  If you can call it that, lasagna.  I was at a friends and it was quite late in the afternoon/early evening when I had something to eat.  We raided the refrigerator at his house and I had a single serving of lasagna.  Also had 6 mini appetizer type tacos.  Didn't have a real meal at all.  Much later in the evening I had a couple of big handfuls of popcorn.  Nothing else in the way of food.

After I left friends I came home and was hungry.  I ended up not eating anything else even though I was tempted.  Partially due to the fact I didn't really have anything available.  I'm sure that if I'd had some chips or something of that type I'd have given in.  But I didn't and I didn't.
