Not much to say other than I ate, I worked, I worked out and I really am starting to feel more confident as I lose weight. Today I wore a pair of pants that just happen to have a 44" waist and a shirt that hasn't fit me for 10 years. That is quite an accomplishment. I must say it was a bit surprising when I realized the pants not only fit but they felt like they should fit. They were the right size for my current body shape.
As we head into the coming winter months I know I'll have to be diligent and cautious. Winter is when the body slows down and food tends to get heavier and more plentiful. The holiday's are a definite series of landmines that will have to be negotiated with care. I still will enjoy the food offerings but must practice moderation (my new watchword as stated in the past). Okay here's the food plan from today:
Belt loop Watch: still 4 but 5 is getting closer
Breakfast: Roast beef and egg sandwich on a skinny bun with avocado and tomato. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Cherry Pie Larabar
2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: Green salad with spinach, roasted veggies, cucumber, sausage, tomato, and the marinade from a jar of marinated artichokes.
3rd snack: 12 baby carrots and hummus
Dinner: Half of a baked potato with cheese, sour cream, sausage, roasted veggies, and steak strips.
Went to the gym after work and had a good workout. Did cardio as usual and I'm getting better at intervals on both the recumbent and the stair stepper. I want to do 10min on the stair stepper but we'll see. I feel like I really want to get used to the stair stepper so am keeping it at 6min but really pushing the intervals. A couple of minutes in I speed up for 30sec and then slow for 30sec. Then after a couple of those I go for 45sec and slow for 15sec. I try to finish strong at the end of the time so I am amped up for the recumbent. So far so good.
