Day 290

It's Tabata! day.  I always look forward to the torture that is Tabata.  Today was no different.  It's also weigh in day for the weight loss contest.  I've decided that I don't care if I know what my weight is so I looked today.  Again a disappointment.  Last week I blamed the weight gain on the fact that I was wearing jeans.  This week no such luck.  Again with the not losing weight thing!  I was surprised though as yesterday I wore all new smaller waist and only XL shirt to work and got a compliment that I was losing weight.  Then tonight at Tabata one of the ladies said the same thing.  This was even more surprising as I was in my work out clothes and they are baggy because they are from the days of a much heavier me.  So again even though I'm not losing actual numbers I must be doing something right?  I've taken all of my new size pants in and am having the inseam shortened.  That way I won't walk on the back of the pant leg like most of my other pants.  Amazingly enough the pants makers don't make 42" waist pants with 27" inseams.  Can't imagine why?  Okay onto the food:

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

1st snack: Apple Pie Larabar

Lunch: Two small tortilla's with Tipali and quinoa.  Also added a dollop of salsa.  It was quite good and I look forward to tomorrows lunch which will be the pulled pork version of this meal.

2nd snack:  I had a Peanut Butter Larabar.  I feel more rushed in the afternoon so I'm thinking I'll go back to the Greek yogurt in the morning and Larabar in the afternoon.

Dinner: Mahi Mahi burger with BBQ sauce,avocado, tomato, and a slice of turkey on a skinny bun.  I also poured out some salsa and had some chips.  When the salsa was gone I stopped eating chips mostly.  I did have a few more after that but overall I felt fairly successful at stopping when I wanted to.  Of course I also finished off the wasabi peas and nut mixture.  Not a whole lot of that but still did finish it.  To drink I had a 5.5oz low sodium V-8.

So another Tabata workout and tonight I tried to expend more effort and not do the completely easy versions of the routines.  I succeeded to an extent that left me happier.  I will continue to try to out do myself and definitely look forward to the second night coming in March.
