Day 289

238.  So again no movement on the overall weight.  It really seems to be a thorn in my side at this time.  My clothes fit great though so not going to stress.  I'm sure L is thinking that I'm a bit of a whiner (if you could see me I'm grinning).  It seems every week I'm complaining about no weight loss and then talk about all the food I ate during the week.  For example this week it was PIZZA on Mon, Tues, and Weds.  Then Friday nite I ate the onion rings, breaded shrimps, and drank two adult beverages among other things.  So not a lot of room to complain or pull out the Oh Woe is Me card. 

Something I wanted to discuss with L was the fact that I generally don't feel hungry.  I bring this up because I've been around other people who were losing weight and they all complain about being hungry.  Due to not eating as much as they normally do.  So am I eating too much?  I might be but not sure in reality how to judge.  Of course is it real hunger?  That's another question that needs an answer.  I feel like I'm not eating that much (discounting the PIZZA situation) so I'm thinking I could cut back somewhere.  Something else to consider in the program.  Not breakfast though, as L and I have discussed.  Breakfast is the one meal I should always eat a generous (not huge) helping of food.  Wow it seems like I'm always making adjustments to my overall plan.  I guess that will keep it interesting if nothing else.  Okay here's what I put on the plate and consequently in my body:

Breakfast: Since I was going in early (for me) to work out I just had a Cherry Pie Larabar and because I had left out the water pitcher no cold water for the first time in 3-4 months.

After workout meal: Fratata with two eggs, spinach, quinoa, carrot shreds, and yellow zucchini , along with some cheese.  Had two slices of whole wheat toast with almond butter and lemon curd.  Also had a cup of Market Spice tea.

In the evening I went to friends for a get together.  A friend's birthday was the occasion and we had BLT's and cake with ice cream.  I had three BLT's and quite a few handfuls of chips along with a couple of adult beverages made with grapefruit and orange juices. 

The workout with L was a lower body workout as we'd been focusing on the upper body.  The focus was upper body because we'd been cautious of the knees after I seemed to hurt my knee's a few month's ago.  Everything felt fine and it was a good workout.  I did stay and get in a ride on the recumbent bike for an extra bit of exercise.  I was preparing for the BLT's later in the evening.
