Day 198 & 199

I'm behind again so combining the weekend into one entry.  243.  Alrighty lost a pound this week.  I made changes in food intake and exercise and it seems to have helped a bit.  I met with L again on Saturday and then I went for a bike ride not a super long one but still got a bike ride in.  On Sunday I did the usual long ride of an hour and a half.  Saturday nite was the usual DnD get together and I feel like I did fairly well.  Still ate some junk but in a more controlled way.  This time instead of handfuls of chips I tried to eat one or two at a time with space in between the one or two.  I "savored" the chips so I didn't eat as many overall.  There were Little Debbie's snack cakes though so had a couple of those.  I still feel I did better than usual so maybe I can use that to keep it up.  Here's the breakdown of the weekend:

Breakfast on Day 198 was oatmeal with some lemon curd and cottage cheese and day 199 was a Greek yogurt with almonds.  Both days I had my usual 20oz of cold water.

After work out meal on day 198 was a chocolate milk with sauteed broccoli and onions with a turkey burger with an egg on a skinny bun with avocado and tomato. After the bike ride on day 199 I had a chocolate milk and a TJ's prepared salad with couscous and quinoa and a chicken and spinach patty from Costco.

On day 198 a mid day snack was more quinoa salad and an Aussie Bite.

Day 198 for dinner I had a Mexican sandwich.  This is a oversize sandwich called a Tortas.  It consisted of a hoagy roll with cabbage, tomato, avocado, and meat.  I got asada and I put hot sauce on it.  It was good.  I think it helped me be better at the game as I was able to control my snacking a bit better than usual.  I also had a Mexican soda and then during the game I drank lemon water all night.  On day 199 I had a really good meal and I made enough that if I'd eaten it all I would have felt like I used to when I'd stuff myself.  So that felt really good that I recognized that I didn't need to eat it all right then.  I ended up having it for lunch on Monday.  So it was a stir-fry made up of shrimps, broccoli, little pot stickers, and sumi (asian dumplings) with some quinoa.

Overall not a bad weekend.  I lost a pound and I don't think I gained it back from the Saturday night game and I got in two bike rides.  So good weekend.  Next weekend will hopefully be the same as L is out of two so I'm on my own for working out.  Hopefully the weather is nice on Saturday so I can do the big ride, I might even throw in a longer trail this time.
