Day 388

So as I said the other day I was approaching 500 total posts.  Not all 500 are about this journey but a good portion are.  This is post number 500.  I've said in the past that I didn't expect to maintain my interest in continuing this blog, so surprise I'm still doing it and plan on keeping it going.  That is until I figure out that pizza and cookies are health food.

Tabata! day is here and it's weigh in day.  First off I did expect to have gained weight since last week.  I was expecting another jump and I was right but hardly a blip in the big picture.  I gained one pound.  That is so acceptable I can't even imagine.  That was with the cookie-palooza and the pizza nightmare.  Also I didn't run at Padden so the energy burn was way off, I figured.  I'm quite happy.  My pants are really fitting better.  The belt loop watch has gone to Defcom 6 so that's very cool.  It's not just in the morning or a day here and there.  It's the new normal.

Breakfast: Three egg frittata with the sausage and spinach.  Added some feta for a cheesy feeling.  Today just the 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds (24)

Lunch: Had the veggie salad again.  I think this is a good substitute for a regular green salad.  I'm keeping this one around.  I feel the salsa does a good job of making this better than not having it with the salsa.

2nd snack: Because of Tabata later I did have an apple and 2tblsp of peanut butter.

Dinner: Beet/jicama salad from Costco.  Jerky.  Cauliflower with the spicy yogurt dip.  Then had a banana with a tablespoon of almond butter.

It was good to get in the Tabata.  We did push ups and I went for the toes.  I still can't do more than one and a half by the end but I'm not going to give up.  We also did these hops onto the platforms.  I was really worried I'd get fatigued and trip myself but didn't happen.  I impressed the teacher as she complimented me at the end on the push ups and hops.  I know I got in a good workout as I was drenched in sweat and could feel my arms twitching.  Fun stuff!

Yay post number 500!!
