Day 266

Day 13 of 13 in a row of working out.  I realize that's not a huge deal but at the same time it's an accomplishment for me.  I won't be doing it again though or at least I won't be planning on it as I'm feeling a bit under the weather.  My body feels okay but during the workout tonite I was not feeling really sharp.  I wanted to do a weight workout but ended up only doing about half of what I wanted to do.  I really was feeling tired so I stopped and went for some cardio on the treadmill and recumbent bike.  In the end I just did the treadmill and called it a night.  I didn't hurt, I just felt tired and maybe a bit burned out.  So I'll take tomorrow off and be ready for my Sat with L.  Today was my lite meal day and I think I did fairly well until dinner.  So here's the list:

Belt loop Watch: 4 but really close to 5.  Again might have actually gone to 5 but it would have been tight.

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

1st snack: Lite meal day so skipped actual first snack.  Greek yogurt and almonds.  Again a handful and then back in the refrigerator.  This works much better as I'm not eating as many this way.

Lunch: A green salad but small with steak strips, cucumber, tomato, cauliflower, and salsa for dressing.

2nd snack: Apple Pie Larabar and a mini cheese

Dinner: Ok here's where I think the feeling from the workouts (see above) played into what I ate for dinner.  I didn't binge but probably ate more than normal.  Then again maybe not but I did eat a fairly large meal, based on past experience from the last few months.  I had a turkey burger on whole wheat bread with an egg, avocado, tomato, and cheese.  It was delicious.  I also had some onion rings and 6 bacon wrapped scallops.  The bacon wrapped scallops was something I picked up at Costco.  Yes they were bacon wrapped but they were scallops and I only had 1 more than a serving.  So not that crazy but I still think I went overboard.  I will say I didn't feel bloated or had that feeling I ate too much.  So I'm happy about that.  I then later had a half of a dark chocolate bar.

I will admit that today I did overdo it on cookies.  At work it was a celebration day and we celebrated with cookies.  Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin.  I ate quite a few of the chocolate chip, sugar, and peanut butter but held back on the oatmeal raisin.  Only because I'm not a fan of oatmeal/raisin.  As I've said in the past cookies are my kryptonite and I freely admit I can eat a ton of cookies if they are available.  Today they were available.  In my defense I will also say that there was chocolate bars as part of the celebration and I resisted them.  Didn't even have one.  Of course they were milk chocolate and I no longer eat milk chocolate choosing instead to only eat dark chocolate.  As I did later in the evening.

I again had difficulty in getting out of bed at the pre-arraigned time and skipped most of my morning routine.  I will try to go to bed earlier tonite and see if it helps the morning.  I expect the burn out feeling I had this evening will be a factor but I'll try to overcome that.  The morning will be telling for sure.
