Day 275

236!  Yes, L was right as I knew she was.  It was just a bit disheartening when the scale registered 240 a couple of weeks ago.  This whole week has been one giant boost in confidence, what with the belt loop #5 continuing and I've again noticed that certain parts of my body look,...well, less fat.  Still not the area I'm really wanting to get less fatty but I know that it's coming.  I also know that excess weight in certain body areas comes off last.  I'm working on getting there, just gotta hang in. 

Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and avocado.  20oz of cold water.  Today the egg was fried instead of my normal microwave method.

After workout meal: Today the gym was having a fitness fair so they had some food and stuff happening.  I ate two little sandwiches made of turkey and ham with veggies on them and they equaled a half of a sandwich.  I also had a snack bar made of pumpkin seeds and other healthy stuff.  I then got a 10min free massage.  Never had a massage before and it felt good.  The massage guy was cool and I was glad I let myself be talked into it (thanx L).  I then went home and had a Cod sandwich.  It had bacon, guacamole, tomato, cheese, spinach, and of course Cod on a crusty baguette.  Added a few carrots to crunch.  I had an ice tea mixed with lemonade to drink.

Went to friends after that and hung out for the rest of the day.  My normal Saturday night was canceled.  My friend had made chili without beans.  I picked up some fancy foccacia bread sticks for the chili.  I had a bowl and a half of chili with added cheese, little smokeys, onion, and crackers.  By the time the night was over I eaten four of the bread sticks, not all at once.  I also had an adult beverage.

So another great day in the life.  I had a good workout with L as we focused on upper body to stay away from the leg that was still painful at times.  L suggested that I lower the weight of the hand weights and work my way up to the higher weight.  I readily agreed as I think it made a lot of sense.  I will say that by Sat night my leg was a distant memory so it just needed to be rested.  My cardio workout tomorrow will incorporate L's suggestions and we'll see how I do then.  I'm confident it won't be an issue.
