Day 219

240.  Or it could have been 239.  The divisions are so small it's hard to tell.  So to be fair I'm going with 240.  I just don't want to kid myself and get too excited.  Weigh in day is pretty much always like that.  Get up and eat a small breakfast or not, then go to the gym for my weekly meeting with L.  We workout, laugh, talk, and discuss strategies for my goals.  Not always in that order but you get the idea.  It's great.  I recommend it to everybody.  Weigh in day is also the day that I run into possible trouble.  I always get together with friends in the evening and we laugh, talk, and eat poorly.  This week was no exception.  Overall though not really bad as it has been in the past.  I'm slowly getting a handle on the mindless eating.  The key word here is slowly.  Ah well Rome wasn't built in a day.  Nor is losing 100lbs.  That's the ultimate goal, though right now it's just lose another 5lbs and I'm going to be very happy.  So here's how the day played out:

Belt Loop Check: Didn't wear a belt today

Breakfast: Aussie Bite and 20oz of cold water.

After work out meal: Chocolate milk.  Two eggs with the rest of the quinoa mixed together with some spinach, tomato, cottage cheese, salsa, and a skinny bun toasted with almond butter and lemon curd.

Late afternoon meal:  Turkey burger on a skinny bun with avocado,  and spinach.  Also the last of the Costco bean salad.

Game time: Ate some veggie chips that were lower in calories and fat.  Had more than I should have but did realize I was eating mindlessly and pushed the bag away.  Had a Fiber One bar and 2-3 rice cakes along with two ice cream bars.

I'm going to again change me weekly morning workouts.  After talking to L we worked out that I should be focusing more on core work.  So my routine will switch it up and work more on specifics associated with the core.  The off days will be weights and the evenings will still be cardio.  I picked up another 10lb kettlebell, so I will start doing more at home with them.
