Day 263

It's the first day back to work after vacation and it was almost as if I'd never went.  I still ended up going to the gym after work and felt right at home.  It's day 10 of non stop gym workouts and I'm on track to make it all the way to 13 in a row.  I normally take Friday off but because I wasn't working last week I just kept it going.  Haven't felt any down side so far so I'm guessing my body is used to the work outs.  Not sure if that's a good thing as I know we talk about not doing the same thing all the time.  The body gets used to the same routine and the metabolism starts to slow down.  You need to give the body a reason to ramp it up.  So this week will be a mix of weights and cardio as much as I can on my schedule.  Here's what I did food wise to get started:

Breakfast: Canadian bacon and egg sandwich with tomato and avocado on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Cherry Pie Larabar

2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds.  I think I'm over doing it with the almonds.  I'm going to start putting the bag back in the refrigerator.  It's less tempting that way.  One big handful and then out of sight out of mind.

Lunch: Salad with steak strips, cauliflower, greens, tomato, cucumber, and salsa as dressing.

3rd snack: 6 Cashew Clusters

Dinner: Cauliflower and steak strips dipped in guacamole.  More Cashew Clusters and a 100cal bag of popcorn.  I wasn't really hungry (I thought) so I just had the raw cauliflower and the guacamole to dip it in.  And more Cashew Clusters.  Man oh man those things need to be taken out of the house so I won't keep eating them.  Ha I had that moment where I didn't care how much I ate I was just going to keep eating.  And I did for a bit, but I finally got it under control.  Still though went way overboard.  Unfortunately.  Ah well that's how life works for me.  Now I just have to get back to the plan.

Went to the gym after work and did the cardio workout.  Tomorrow I will do a weight routine as part of this weeks plan.  Cardio Wed and weights Thursday.
