Day 147

Well today was a day.  First there was a cold shower.  Then a work BBQ with tons of bad for you food.  Then a very nice day that made me go for a bike ride that was quite enjoyable.  So it looks like there's something wrong with my water heater so my shower this morning was a bit on the cool side.  At work there was a potluck BBQ where every imaginable food that's bad for you showed up.  I'm talking potato salad, macaroni salad, 7 layer dip with a maximum number of bag 'o chips, there was cookies, an awesome dessert called "Sex in a pan" (so you know it had to be bad for you).  There were six or seven other salads including two different pasta salads.  It was a smorgasbord of BBQ delight.  Oh and of course there were hamburgers with cheese and condiments.  It was quite a tremendous spread.  On that note here's what I did:

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

Snack/Lunch/Snack: This was a feed bag worth of food at each of these breaks in the day.  Including and not limited to hamburgers, potato/macaroni/pasta salads.  "Sex in a pan" for dessert and some strawberries.  I will say that with lunch I did listen to my stomach and stopped before I over indulged to the extreme.  I had grabbed two cookies and realized as I sat back down that I was full.  This of course was after I'd eaten a big serving of the Sex dessert.  Still I didn't eat the cookies and I would have 6 months ago.

Dinner: Spinach salad with homemade meatloaf, tomato, cauliflower, cottage cheese, and big glop of potato salad mixed in.  A hunk of baguette and two choc chip cookies.

After work I went for a 45 minute bike ride and that was good.  I haven't been out on the bike very much yet this year so felt good to ride.  I know the weather is turning again after just two days of almost spring weather, so had to enjoy it while it lasted. The belt loop is holding steady at 4 but am curious to see where it is tomorrow after today.
