Day 300 or Have I really tortured myself for this long?

Yes it's Day 300.  The 300th entry in this blog about my journey to and fro in search for a healthy life.  I've had some setbacks ( the Debacle in July for one) but overall I must admit I've done a lot of good in these 300 days.  I've lost about 15lbs and went from a 46" waist pants to 42" waist.  I am now wearing some clothes that I hadn't worn in almost 15yrs and I've bought some new clothes in my new body size XL not 2XL.  These last few weeks I've gotten compliments from people asking if I've lost weight and these are people who've been around me during these 300 days.  I know I've made some hard choices and I've had some great support and help during this time.  Thanx to L for her kind words and hard workouts that encourage me to keep it up.  She understands the struggle we all go through every day as we all try to live a healthy lifestyle.  I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her help and support.  At the same time I'm still in the midst of the struggle to achieve my goal but I feel I have the strength to see it through to the end.  And the end will never come because now it's a way of life and I'll live it forever.

So today was also meet with L day and we had a great session.  A new workout that I will be utilizing as part of my new program that I started last week.  Also next week or the week after will be the start of Tabata 2aweek's.  So I'll be getting my Tabata on twice a week and I'll hope to start seeing another change.

Breakfast: Greek yogurt and Chia seeds.  20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: Started off with more Sunchips.  Made a frittata containing two eggs, a Tipilia fillet, spinach, and a slice of ham on top.  5.5oz low sodium V-8.

Didn't actually eat again until later in the evening as I wasn't that hungry.  When I did eat it was a Mahi Mahi burger on a skinny bun with tomato and avocado and a sprinkling of spinach.  Finished off the Sunchips.

So overall today didn't eat a ton ( except for the Sunchips ) as I know tomorrow I will be tempted to over eat a bunch.  Tomorrow getting together for the gaming group and pizza is on the menu.  I'll try hard not to overdo it but no guarantees, 'cuz we know I luv me some pizza.  Of course it's also run around Lake Padden day so maybe I'll balance out.  I can only hope.  sheesh....
