Got another surprise today. Yesterday it was the 238lbs I weighed at weigh in and today it was another positive sign of weight loss. I decided that I needed a new pair of jeans as my regular pair have now gotten too big for me (yippee). So I went to the store and decided to grab a 44 waist and a 46 waist. I currently wear a 46 but I thought I'd give a 44 try. Well to my surprise the 44's fit just fine. They weren't loose but they weren't tight either, they fit perfectly. Quite the shock frankly. I guess I should expect something like that as I know I'm losing weight but it was still a very pleasant surprise! Now, more incentive for me to continue to eat right and work out. Speaking of which I did go to the gym today and ramped up the cardio to the 50min mark. Doing 10 minutes on the stair stepper instead of 6min. Tomorrow I will do 6 again as I try to break my body in slowly and not end up injuring myself. I will alternate this routine for the next two weeks and then go for the full time limit. Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: Greek yogurt and 20oz of cold water.
After workout meal: A baguette sandwich with fried chicken breast, bacon, avocado, and tomato. I then finished off the chicken breast. I ate all the skin and everything as I was craving fried chicken all week. I also had a leg and a wing. Then I was done. I will use the chicken for meals the rest of the week.
Mid afternoon meal?: I didn't really eat a meal so much as grazed for an hour or so. I was making food for lunches and was sampling as I went along. In addition I had a chicken thigh, fried of course. I also had a beer. At this point I'm thinking I may have another piece of chicken but I am pretty much done for the day as far as eating. If I don't have the chicken then I may have a bag of popcorn. Otherwise I'm good to go.
