Day 238

Dare I hope I'm losing weight?  It seems that way.  I've been fooled before though so I'm not holding my breath.  My clothes are looser fitting and I feel good, other than my glutes and inner thighs being somewhat painful due to my workout yesterday.  The squats and lunges really did a number on me.  Today at the gym when I went to put on my shoes I could barely bend over.  I had to laugh though as I did it to myself.  I remember yesterday when I started the workout thinking it was a good idea to do the whole body thing.  Yes it was but wow does it hurt.  My arms are a bit sore but nothing compared to the lower body.  So heading into the day before weigh in day and I've got my fingers crossed.  No plans at this point to overindulge.  I'm planning on taking my gym stuff as I'm quite sure I will go to the gym after work.  We'll see.  Here's what I ate today:

Belt loop Watch: 4 but 5 keeps taunting me.

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

1st snack: Didn't have a snack at this time due to eating breakfast later than usual

2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: A small serving of quinoa with broccoli slaw, cheese, steak strips, and salsa.

3rd snack: Aussie Bite

Dinner: Quinoa salad with spinach, chicken sausage, cauliflower, and tomato with low cal dressing.  That satisfied me. 

Today I tried to eat less and I succeeded for the most part.  I'll continue this experiment for the next few weeks as it seems to be working.  I'm noticing some cravings and I'm going to have to address those in the coming weeks also.  I've got a plan for my first craving and that is fried chicken.  So we'll see how the plan works out.

Went to the gym after work and did cardio.  Next week I'm planning on increasing my time to a total of 50min.  That was the original time frame but I ended up tailoring it back a bit and easing into the full time.  I think my body can handle the extra time now but I'll probably do a bit of up and down for the next few weeks before committing completely to the program.
