Day 232

Once again day before weigh in and I'm quite stoked for the actual numbers.  I think it will be a number I'm looking for and not a repeat of the same numbers from the last few weeks.  This week I have changed a few things, like cutting back on the amount of food I eat for one meal and increasing the time and intensity spent on cardio.  Today though was a bit of a challenge.  I was subjected to a massive amount of Thai and I succumbed to the siren call.  It was a conscious decision though so no one to blame really but myself.  Still I'm considering today as a cheat day and we know I gotta have one of those once a week or else.

Belt loop Watch: 4 but again seeing the possibility of the number 5

1st snack: Peanut Butter Larabar

2nd snack: two mini scones from the local grocery store

Lunch: Here's where it gets sticky.  Two plates of Thai food.  First plate was loaded with chicken Pad Thai, yellow curry w/rice and chicken, floppy noodles with beef.  Second plate was a repeat of the same but a smaller portion.  After that I had a blue berry mini muffin made gluten free.  Also a piece of pumpkin bread.

3rd snack: A small size plate of Thai food.  Pad Thai and yellow curry.  Another piece of pumpkin bread.  It was one of those days.  I also had a green tea with lemon.

Dinner: Got together with a friend and went to a Mexican restaurant.  I avoided the chips and salsa that came as we sat down but I ordered a margarita.  The drink was a big one but with pomegranate juice so it was healthy...okay maybe not.  I ordered a taco sampler plate that came with four different tacos, rice and beans, and guacamole and sour cream.  I got a to go box and put two of the tacos away.  I ate two tacos and about half of the rice and beans.  I ate all of the guac and a little bit of the sour cream. The tacos were street style tacos so very basic other than a sprinkle of shredded Mexican white cheese.  Afterwards at home I had a beer.

All in all not a great day but still I am going to live my life.  I didn't eat everything put in front of me at dinner so that was a win.  The rest of the day was what it was and that's all there is to that.  This whole deal is a one day at a time type of thing and keeping that in mind is all part of the bigger picture that is my life.  And I'm going to live it.
