Day 146

What a great day!  That is if you like sunny spring, sorry, sunny summer weather (it's the first day of summer).  I left work early, went to the gym, came home and went for a bike ride.  I haven't been on a bike ride for almost a month.  Partly due to my knee/leg issues and partly due to really crappy weather.  Even though I have to laugh when I read the part about the weather as back in Jan/Feb I went for the bike ride that ended in snow.  That was an experience for sure.  It made me appreciate nice warm weather.  In my defense it was actually sunny when I left for that ride.  It was a crisp winter day and it did the typical thing where in a matter of 20-25 minutes it turned into a snowy blustery winter day.  I'm not getting to excited about the nice weather though as I've heard that tomorrow will be back to rain.  I'm just glad I got out today and rode the bike.  So here's what I ate today:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato, turkey, and some almond butter.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

Snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: Met a friend for lunch and we went to a small Mexican restaurant.  I had three carnitas "street" tacos.  Drank water.

No afternoon snack

Dinner: Spinach salad with the homemade meatloaf, tomato, cauliflower, cottage cheese, and dressing.  Also had a small bowl of yogurt pretzels and a hunk of baguette with some almond butter smeared on them.

So went to the gym as I left work early so did a weight work out and then quickly came home and hopped on the bike for a short ride.  It was about 30min.  
Tomorrow should be interesting as work is having a BBQ potluck.  So there will be lots of chips and other bad for me things to try and avoid.  Ah who am I kidding, I will eat some of all the stuff I like and try to keep it under control.  Actually it won't be too hard as I've discovered I'm a much lighter eater in a crowd.  Especially a crowd I might want to impress (women).  I still plan on enjoying myself just not over doing it.  I hope.
