Day 237

Today my clothes fit very well.  I wore a shirt that was an XL and hadn't fit for ten years.  I was quite pleased to see myself in the mirror.  On top of that I once again flirted with belt loop number 5.  As weigh in day gets closer I'm trying not to get to excited but I can't help it.  Here's the food list for the day:

Belt loop Watch: 4 but 5 is just around the waist.

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

1st snack: I was distracted in the morning and completely forgot to eat the Larabar I'd brought for this snack, so didn't eat anything until,

2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds.  This was when I discovered I hadn't eaten the Larabar as it was sitting on the counter in the break room at work.  Made me laugh as I really didn't notice I'd forgotten.

Lunch: Low carb/high fiber wrap with quinoa, tomato, steak strips, broccoli slaw, and avocado with mozzarella cheese.  A mini muffin pumpkin flavor.

3rd snack: Aussie Bite

Dinner: Spinach salad with cauliflower, quinoa mixed with chicken sausage and broccoli, tomato, and low fat dressing.  I was still feeling hungry so I had a 100cal bag of popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon and a quarter bar of dark chocolate.

I lifted weights at the gym after work.  I will be trying to incorporate that into the routine per the conversation I had with L.  Felt fine and I did body weight squats and lunges in between the lifting sets.  I noticed that my legs were a bit wobbly walking to my car afterwards.  That was cool as it meant I'd gotten in a leg workout in addition to the upper body workout.  I did that all in a hour so still hitting my schedule for working out.  Even though I did the squats and lunges I still gave my lower body a break from the cardio.  I think that's important so that's the main reason for the weight lifting.  I will do that in the middle of the week to break up the cardio.
