Day 363

It's meet with L day and I'm ready to do it.  I took yesterday off and I'm feeling the need for some workin' out.  I will probably go for a bike ride after as the weather seems to finally heading towards the side of spring we all love.  I'm also thinking tomorrow will be my first attempt at the mountain biking trail at Lake Padden.  I'm still feeling the need to give my lower body a break from the running and pounding it's been taking.  Especially this week.  I'm not worried as to what Lorinda will have me do but I'm quite sure it won't involve heavy impact.  So here's food:

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

After work out meal: Protein drink.  I then went for an hour long bike ride and ate three fish tacos.  I used Tipali fillets and added avocado, tomato, and roasted red pepper to some 6" corn/floor mix tortillas.  They were awesome and I made them all myself.  I also had one of my ice tea drinks.

Dinner: Okay I ended up going to friends for a board game night.  Same group as the D&D gamers but everyone didn't show so there was lots of PIZZA.  I really wanted to try and limit my intake of pizza so I went with a plan.  Which didn't really work but I may have figured out a bit more of the conundrum called "It's there why not eat it?"  I started out with one piece of pizza and a plate of salad.  The salad was actually very good, so bonus.  I then waited for a bit (probably 15-20min) before having another piece and more salad.  So far so good.  Then about 20-25min later it was time to have another piece, BECAUSE IT WAS THERE!  Yes even though I had felt full after the second serving of pizza and salad, I still HAD to have another piece.  Okay I think if I didn't need to walk thru the kitchen to get a drink of water or something I probably would have been okay.  But there it was right on the kitchen counter, not one, not two, not three, but four pizza's.  Did I mention the host thought there were going to be more of us, hence the four pizza's.  So after I had the third piece I was able to control myself to the point of not having any more pizza for a couple of hours, so a win.  Then as it got later and the bowl of granola bars and such came out, it seemed more appropriate to eat another piece of pizza.  So I did.  So we're up to four pieces.  Long story short somewhere in there I lost count and so having another piece became five pieces of pizza and I finally knew I was done or at least I had to be done.  When the night was over I declined any pizza to take home, so another win.

I did figure that since I was going to ride my bike on the Padden mountain bike trail tomorrow I could indulge a bit more than normal.  I wasn't planning on indulging so much that I was going to have to work a lot harder than planned.
