Day 289

So again can't really hear anything but am encouraged that I will be getting better soon.  That is as soon as I can start this new drug.  I called this morning and was able to activate the coupon for the drug discount.  Now I just need to get the drug from the pharmacy.  That was an interesting time.  It took almost an hour to get the prescription filled.  Even though I'd brought it in the day before and they knew they had to order it they still didn't have it ready.  Then they tried to charge full price because they didn't ask if I'd activated the coupon.  Oh well I have it now and have already done the first dose.

The rest of the day was rather a non issue overall.  I went to the gym and did the cardio as usual.  I'm quite happy with the new routine as it seems to be a better workout than before.  I have to really pedal if I want to keep the rpm's up and it changes every 5 seconds.  Alright here's the food for today:

Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and avocado.  I didn't have avocado last week as they weren't going to be ripe but this week they were so I'm quite happy.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: I'd decided to switch up the snacks but because last week I didn't eat any yogurt I spaced today and had Greek yogurt and almonds.  My new plan is to eat the yogurt in the afternoon so I'll start that tomorrow.

Lunch: Since I wanted to pick up the new medicine at lunch I planned to go to the pizza by the slice store and grab a couple of slices.  Which I did.  Again this is a thin crust pizza with minimal cheese and fresh toppings.  So I feel good about eating this pizza.  I also had a juice.

No 2nd snack but I did start the new drug.  Yay!

Dinner: Also a new dinner plan for some nights.  Tonight I had a small bowl of chips with salsa and more of the wasabi peas and nuts mix.  I also had a low sodium V-8.  As the main course I had a Greek yogurt.  That was it for dinner.

If I can believe the recumbent bike calorie read out, it says I'm burning about 250 cal doing the random setting.  Plus the time on the treadmill and the elliptical all adds up so I'm hoping to start eating less at dinner than I expended during the workout.  Now it's only 24hr away from Tabata so I'm getting ready for that workout.  Yay.

Oh and tomorrow is the weekly weigh in for the weight loss contest.  I won't look but they send out the percentages of loss or gain so I'll have an idea of where I'm at.  I wonder??

Hey Al! Things are looking great--keep up the good work! Where are you getting the healthy pizza by the slice?

Thanx. I don't know if it's really "healthy" but it's thin crust and good fresh ingredients so...anyway it's a pizza place in the Yorky's Market gas station on Alabama. It's newly rebuilt from the ground up next to the 7-11 strip mall.
