Day 227

Went to the gym today and tried out the new cardio plan.  Not bad I did 16min on the treadmill, starting out a bit slower than I had been doing before.  Then went to the stair stepper for 10min and some intervals.  That got me sweating like I normally do on the recumbent bike so yay for me.  I finished up on the recumbent bike and I noticed that I got right up to speed without thinking about it.  Normally it takes a bit of effort to get up to speed.  It really felt good when I finished and felt like I'd accomplished something.  It was a total of 50min and it took just about an hour ( it takes a minute or two to get the machines programed ) so I'm very happy with the timing.

No belt loop watch today.

Breakfast: Two eggs with roasted chicken on a skinny bun with avocado and tomato.  20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: Mexicali salad from TJ's.  I added a salmon patty, cottage cheese, and a bit of tomato.  A chocolate milk.

Worked on lunch for the coming week.  Made some more roasted veggies.  This time I focused on carrots and cauliflower only.  Made quinoa again but this time not as a salad but as a side dish with sausage and broccoli in it.

I bought beer at the store and had a beer while cooking for the week.  I then had a baked potato with guacamole, broccoli, and a salmon patty chopped into small pieces.  I also had some Cheetos.  The package was a four serving package and I dumped them out on a plate and divided them into two halves.  Yes that's more than a serving but at least I didn't eat the whole package.  Getting ready for the week and feeling quite good about myself.
