Day 367

Tabata!  I once again have gained weight and at the same time I'm okay with it.  I realize no matter what it's going to happen every week.  Either I will have lost weight or I will have gained a pound or two.  I think my new mantra will be "as long as I don't gain a small person I'm okay".

Something I discovered this week is the fact that I'm basing my weight ups and downs on old info and different circumstances.  What I mean is the fact that first off, the scale I'm using is not the same scale I used before.  Also when I weighed my self before I wasn't in street clothes, I was in my underwear.  So the fact that when I weigh myself for the contest I'm wearing street clothes and I still only weigh 236/237 means that in fact I've actually lost weight.  Granted I'm stalled again at this lower weight but maybe this is an indication that I'm still doing something right.  So with this new perspective I think it's time to move on and start trying new ideas.

Breakfast: Two eggs, three slices of turkey, tomato, and avocado on a skinny bun.  Chocolate milk and 20oz of cold water.  Banana

1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: Green salad with spinach, and a turkey burger with a hard boiled egg inside.  Corn/bean salsa for dressing.

No 2nd snack.  I am thinking of forgoing the 2nd snack for a while and see if I really need it.  L always asks me if I'm feeling hungry and most times it seems like I'm still feeling full from lunch.  So for now I'll not have the snack and wait until dinner after the workout.

Dinner: Protein drink.  Greek yogurt and Chia seeds with a 5-seed bar and a handful of wasabi pea trail mix.  Also 3 pieces of candy.

So again Tabata and I tried to push myself a bit more this time.  I feel I did okay and got a good workout.  I've decided that I need to do that on a regular basis.  I need to get more out of the workout.
