Day 150

It's day 150 and what a day.  It started out normal and then went a bit off the rails.  Not in a bad way just a real life way.  I had decided to get up at my normal weekend time and have breakfast.  I'm going thru my emails and eating my regular weekend breakfast which is the oatmeal and cottage cheese mix with some lemon curd.  I'm just finishing my 20oz of cold water, when I see an email from a friend inviting me out to breakfast....First thought is damn can't go, just ate breakfast.  Then I realize I haven't hung out for a while so what the heck. 

We meet up about an hour later and I figure I will have something lite but there isn't anything lite on the menu (that sounded good).  So I go for a breakfast burrito with sour cream and water. The food gets set in front of me and it smells great and looks good too.  I dig in and smear the sour cream all over the burrito and dump the salsa on top of that.  It's very good and the hash browns are crispy just the way I like them.  Yum.  So we're talking and eating and I realize I've eaten about half of the meal and damn I feel full.  I normally don't recognize the full feeling so I heed the warning and stop eating.  I don't feel stuffed, like I normally would, I feel happy.  That's a new one, feeling happy that I didn't clean my plate.  The waitress brings me a box and I bring it home for later. 

I have to say it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time.  Just the fact that I could enjoy the food and still stop before I had that bloated feeling was a revelation of sorts.  It gets better though.  I went grocery shopping for the week and as usual I park far enough away so I have to stretch my legs to shop.  After coming home and seeing that the rain from the day before is turning into a nice day with sunshine, I decide to go for a bike ride.  Something I haven't done enough of lately.  So I do and it's a good ride, about an hour long. I then get to eat the rest of the breakfast burrito along with some cottage cheese and roasted yam.

I was quite lazy the rest of the day.  By dinner time I was ready to eat again.  I had the Mexican salad from TJ's that is fast becoming my regular Sunday nite dinner.  It's quite good especially when I add some cottage cheese and quinoa.  I also had a late snack of a small bag of popcorn, lime-n-pepper flavor.

Overall a good day.  Good food but not overdoing it and exercise.  Excellent combo.
