My normal no workout day and I went to dinner with friends. Let my pig out attitude get out of hand but still didn't let it be a set back.
Breakfast: Bran cereal with chia seeds, blue berries, and a banana. Also a slice of toast. 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Ground turkey wrap with stir fry broccoli and cauliflower with guacamole. Also a tortilla with peanut butter.
Dinner: With friends went for sushi. Ate way too much. Also had an adult beverage.
So the social aspect caught me again. I've now read about social situations causing you to over eat. Frankly I didn't even notice how much I was eating until I started to feel over full. By then it was too late, the damage was done. So I had some more (no really I did).
Good thing I plan on going for a long walk tomorrow. Hopefully I can burn off some of these calories.

Day 746
Met with L after work. We went over what sort of exercises we'd focus on for the next few weeks and it's almost like starting from scratch. I also had an appointment with my new doctor and we discussed doing a sleep study to determine where I was with sleep apnea.
Breakfast: Frittata with 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Ground turkey wrap with stir fried broccoli and cauliflower with guacamole.
Dinner: Stir fry broccoli and cauliflower with veggie chix strips. Also a protein drink smoothie.
So the workout was core and some arms. We did bird dogs, supermans, and biceps curls sitting on an exercise ball with bands. For now we want to stay away from stressing the surgery area. So by doing some core that helps strengthen the area affected by the surgery. Then working the biceps helps to start the strength process up again. I've not done any strength workouts since before the surgery so starting slow is the idea.
It really felt great to be back with L. She has great ideas for workouts and I have confidence in her to help create the right workouts for my situation.

One day to go before meeting up with L. Can't wait as I've really missed working with her, plus she makes it fun.
Breakfast: Frittata and a banana. 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Turkey burrito with broccoli, cauliflower, and guacamole. Still hungry so made a small corn tortilla with turkey and guacamole.

So walked up hill and down for an hour and fifteen minutes. Prepping for tomorrow's meeting with L.

Day 741
Weighed in at 230lbs. Still thinking I'll gain weight during this rehab but I guess I'm finally getting it when it comes to the eating thing?
Breakfast: Oatmeal with blue berries, chia seeds, and a banana. 20oz of cold water.
Snack while working on the trail cleanup: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Lunch: One fish taco and some rice and beans plus chips.
Afternoon snack: Smoothie
Dinner: Another fish taco and the rest of the rice & beans.
Late nite snack: Peanut butter and guacamole sandwich.
So I helped a group of people cleanup and repair a mountain bike trail. Spent three hours raking and sweeping along with digging some drain channels. The weather was nice not too hot and definitely no rain. Good way for me to see if I had any issues from the surgery.
