Day 241

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.
