Day 416

Tabata!  Yes I love me some Tabata!  Another great session and I once again killed push ups.  I still can't do more than about one and a half by the eighth round but I'm still pushing like I can.
Today was the last day of the weight loss contest.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with my result today.  229.4lbs.  So I've finally broken the 230 barrier.  I haven't weighed this little since the mid '90's.  That was when I was fencing three nites a week and sweating like a madman.  I figure I can now look forward to my soft goal of 220lbs and see beyond that to the actual goal of 200lbs.  It might actually be doable.
Today was a challenge though as there was a birthday and a baked goods fund raiser going on at work.  A little indulgence was in order though so no regrets just going to focus on better eating later in the week.

Breakfast: Two eggs on a skinny bun with tomato and almond butter.  20oz of cold water.

1st snack: First baked goods indulgence.  2-cookies and a couple of other pastry types.

Lunch: Tortilla (low carb) with salmon, tomato, tahini, hummus, and lettuce.  More baked goods (2-lemon bars and a salted Carmel brownie)  Then a piece of cheese cake.

2nd snack: A piece of cheese cake

Dinner: Banana sandwich made with almond butter on two Wasa crisps.  Greek yogurt and Chia seeds.  A cookie from the baked goods.

Yes today was a throwback to the old days.  It felt good but I also realize that I'd better not do that to many times or else the 230 mark will be a thing of the past and 200 will never see the light of day.  Gotta remind myself 229.4 not bad and I can do better.
