Day 180

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.
