Well, getting close to the half way mark in my quest for the elusive weight loss adventure. I am still in the 240's and continuing to look at the goal of losing enough to make it 200. I am making my way slowly but surely and will keep moving forward. When I stepped on the scale and saw I weighed 304lbs I realized something had to be done. I made the commitment then to do something about it. It has taken me a couple of years to change my way of thinking about food. I have made the attempt to be more aware of what I am eating. I then incorporated exercise under my own power and then sought out help to focus that exercise. I know that that is going to make it work. Exercise and not eating like I'm 20 is the secret. Now I just have to keep reminding myself of that. So here's how I did today:
Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich with tomato and avocado on a skinny bun. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
Snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: Two salmon patties on two slices of whole wheat bread with Mozzarella cheese, avocado,peanut butter, and pickle relish. Fiber One bar and 5.5oz of low sodium V-8.
Snack: Peanut Butter cookie Larabar
Dinner: A mixture of quinoa, cauliflower, beets, and corn mixed with some dressing. A Greek yogurt and about a half hour to 45 minutes later a 100cal bag of popcorn.
Went to the gym after work and did a weight work out. I used the one from Saturday that L wrote up for me and I tacked on part of one from the previous session. On one of the machines I wanted to use the previous user hadn't put the weights away. So here I am trying to move a 100lb weight disc and man it was heavy. It made me realize that it's a good thing I always clear my weights when I'm done.
