Day 255

Day two of my vacation.  It's actually the weekend but I still like to consider it part of vacation.  Went out to eat for lunch with friends and then went for a bike ride.  Haven't gone on a bike ride for quite a while as it turns out.  I still remembered how to ride so it wasn't too bad.  In all fairness it was great.  I figured it was a nice day so why spend it inside at the gym.  I rode for a bit more than an hour so it was a good long ride.  The day started with a bang as I went with friends to a gun range and we took turns shooting targets.  Not much of a work out but you still have to be able to stand and hold your arms out in front of your body and not shake.  So probably a bit of an abs workout I guess.

Breakfast: Two egg frattata with spinach, steak strips, cheese, and sour cream.  20oz of cold water.

Lunch:  A hamburger with avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomato, cheese, and no other condiments.  Had them hold the secret sauce in favor of avocado.  Came with a side of potato salad.  I ate half of the burger with the bun and then ate rest without the bun and only ate half of the potato salad.  One of my companions offered up some of his onion rings and so I had to have some of those.  I almost ordered onion rings with my meal and I'm glad I didn't as the amount was ginormous.  Seriously it was probably two orders anywhere else.  I drank unsweetened tea.

After lunch I went for a bike ride and then just drank some tea afterwards along with a cereal bowl of the pasta bake from a couple of weeks ago.  I wasn't real hungry as the burger was still blunting my appetite.

Dinner: I was going to have curry and quinoa for dinner but I started the curry to late in the day.  So instead I made a potsticker soup.  I mixed potstickers with broccoli and  beet.  The base was low sodium chicken stock.  I then added some quinoa as it was done.  A bit later I had a quarter bar of dark chocolate.  Much later in the evening I did sample the curry and declared it good.  It's a fish curry so that and the quinoa will make an awesome meal that should fill me up and satisfy my food brain.

Tomorrow is sushi day so I must go to the gym and workout first so I can go crazy.  Heh I hope I can practice moderation.
