Day 228

New day new purpose.  Today was the first day of the new routines.  In the morning instead of the lifting routine with the kettlebell I did the core workout.  That's the new routine for the next month.  Three days a week with core and two days with kettlebells.  I also am altering my food intake a bit more.  L and I talked about cutting 300 calories out of my total food a couple of times a week to try and jump start the weight loss machine.  So I will be making a small lunch on Tues with that in mind.  It will be interesting to see how I do.  So here's what I ate today:

Belt loop Watch: 4

Breakfast: Egg and roast beef sandwich with tomato and avocado on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Peanut Butter Larabar

2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: Low carb wrap with roasted veggies and quinoa with salsa.  Strawberries.

3rd snack: Aussie Bite

Dinner: Spinach salad with quinoa, tomato, roasted veggies, chicken/spinach patty from Costco, and raw beet with a low fat dressing.  For dessert I had a kiwi fruit.

Went to the gym after work and did the cardio.  I didn't do the full 50min as my foot seemed to be a bit sore.  Don't know if it's from the day before when I started the extra time but I decided to cut back a bit.  So I still did 16min on the treadmill but only 6min on the stair stepper.  Still did 24min on the recumbent though.  I'll see how I feel tomorrow and maybe ramp it up then.  Probably though I will continue to ease into it.  If I hurt myself again it will definitely slow down my progress.  So I'm taking a slow and steady approach this time.
