Day 273

Belt loop #5!  Becoming the standard for the week as I put my pants on.  It seems that I've possibly started back down the weight loss road.  I really was bummed last week so I'm not holding my breath this week just trying to be pro active.  I did eat less today just as I did a couple of days ago.  This is part of the plan that I've come up with after talking with L about how to convince the metabolism to "get movin".  I also added carrying dumbbells (8lb) when on the tread mill to up the "burn".  We'll see if that makes any difference.  I do feel like I'm working a bit harder when I'm doing that.  It's early days though so I'll just keep an eye on the results before making any kind of pronouncement.

Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and avocado.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st break: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: Small spinach salad with the last two quinoa patties.  Had tomato, cauliflower, and dressing.  Also had a couple of pickles.

2nd snack: A slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter

Dinner: Spinach salad with quinoa, tomato, cauliflower, broccoli, and salsa.  For dessert I had two donuts.

The workout was a bit more intense but not enough to be crazy.  I will continue the use of hand weights during the treadmill segment for now.  I do want to talk to L about it though just to make sure I'm not overdoing it again.  The legs feel good.
