Day 265

12th day in a row of going to the gym.  I am going to take a day off on Friday but until then I will continue to workout.  My belt is getting closer to the 5th belt loop and actually I've almost had the 5th loop pinned.  Not sure if I will have lost any weight this week but definitely I will have lost inches.  Here's how the day went:

Belt loop Watch: 4 but 5 is a distinct possibility

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

1st snack: Peanut Butter Larabar

2nd snack: Greek yogurt and almonds.  I'm dumping a handful in the yogurt and then putting the bag away.  I feel better about that so I'm not eating more almonds than I should.

Lunch: Green salad with steak strips, tomato, cauliflower, cucumber, and salsa for dressing.

3rd snack: Cashew Clusters and a little cheese

Dinner: Green salad with tomato, cauliflower, raw yam, chicken sausage, and salsa for dressing.  Then I broke out the last of the Cashew Clusters (other than a serving I'm saving for Friday) and finished them off.  Again ate way more of them than I should but I needed to get them gone.  And I did.  A bit later had a little cheese as a late snack.

I've noticed that since the season has changed and the mornings are a bit darker, I'm having trouble getting up at the appointed hour of rising.  That has played havoc with my morning routine.  I have been staying up later in the evening and now wonder if this has something to do with my difficulties in the morning.  I'm guessing I'll need to re-adjust my sleep pattern and see if that makes a difference.  I feel I need to get my mornings back on track with the short workouts I was doing. 

Went to the gym after work and did a cardio workout.  I did the 10min stair stepping routine so I was on track for 50 minutes.
