Day 283

Another day in the continuing saga of my life and how I'm trying to keep it going.  Got to sleep in a hour longer today.  Daylight savings time ended and so we get to "fall back".  I always look forward to this day.  I would like to see day light savings time become the standard though.  It just makes more sense to me to not have this shuffling of time.  Talked to a guy at the gym today and he was telling me how to lose more weight.  He was nice about it and sincerely was trying to be helpful but I like what I'm doing with L's help.  When I said I was doing cardio he commented that men tend to find cardio boring.  I think he's right to an extent but for me I've embraced the interval training so it never gets boring as I'm always changing the rhythm of the cardio.  Even though he did make an interesting comment.  He felt that taking an hour for cardio could be better served in a half an hour doing resistance training (lifting weights).  That's one of the things I'm looking at as I only have approximately an hour total to get in and get 'er done.  So maybe I could look at combining both into one visit.  Something to think about.  Here's the rest of the day:

Breakfast: An egg mixed with spinach and quinoa.  Baked in the oven and garnished with salsa.  20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: A breaded shrimp sandwich.  It was whole wheat low carb bread and breaded shrimp from TJ's that is lite breading.  Added a tomato and cheese with almond butter.  Also had some onion rings and yam fries all from TJ's.  Oh a small glass of eggnog.

Dinner: Two thin individual pizza's with some green pepper, felafel, and cheese.

So did the cardio workout today and again felt good using the 5lb dumbbells.  I plan on getting back into my morning workouts this week.  Yes I've been saying that now for a few weeks and have been having difficulties in accomplishing that promise.  Going to take a new approach and just try to do something and then build on that.  Won't get down on myself if I falter.  Re-commit!
