Okay still working to catch up. So these two days are the weekend and of course the weekend everything changes. The plan to eat smarter and healthier becomes an almost impossible job without be constantly vigilant and that's no fun.
Day 796 (Sat): Breakfast was a bowl of bran cereal with a banana and chia seeds along with 20oz of cold water. I then went for an hour and 20min bike ride (my first of the new year). I really miss riding the bike and the surgery really threw a monkey wrench in whatever plans I had for riding this year. It was a great ride and the weather was awesome. When I got home I drank a protein drink. Then went and hung out with friends for a few hours followed by a late lunch of Mexican food. Dinner consisted of pot sticker soup with some veggie chix strips.
My afternoon exercise was at the gun range and I got in some target practice that was definitely needed.
Day 797 (Sun): I ran in the morning but it wasn't much of a run. I wasn't feeling it so cut it short. Could have been due to the long bike ride the day before. That was the longest bike ride I'd peddled all year. After that I met up with friends for brunch at a local restaurant. I had an egg and shrimp scramble that was quite delicious. Later still hanging out with friends we had fake rib sandwiches with cole slaw and cookies.
So not a horrible weekend of bad decisions but still could have done better. Of course then it wouldn't have been as fun.

Day 791-795
Okay I'm getting behind and not catching up so it's time to do something drastic. I'm combining the next five days into one post.
Breakfast the first four days was the same Frittata with cottage cheese and 20oz of cold water. Day 795 was bran cereal with chia seeds, blue berries, with a protein drink and a slice of toast with peanut butter.
Lunch was different every day and was made up of Mexicali salad, tuna/egg salad sandwich with peppers and avocado. spicy lentil wrap, black bean soup with broccoli, and a torta sandwich.
Dinner was also different every day and revolved around stir fry broccoli and cauliflower, cottage cheese, yogurt mixed with bran flakes, protein drinks, hamburger with an egg and avocado, and Chinese finger food with veggie chicken strips.
The last day (795) was Friday and so had an adult beverage as it was the weekend.
Exercise those five days consisted of going to the gym and doing the workout L showed me the last time we got together. I also ran and it was much better than the last run, closer to 65/35 run/walk. I then did a walk with friends and finally met L during the week for a scheduled workout.
So there you have a week's worth of my life as I slowly try to get back to myself. It's turning out to be quite the chore to get back to the old me. It's a challenge and maybe that's a good thing.

Day 790
Went for a run and timed out at 18min. So not a huge run but it was running. I felt that I was running more than the time before so less walking (55 walking vs 45running). Getting better and I expect to run sometime this week again.
Before the run: 20oz of cold water.
After run: Onion bun with egg and ham.
Lunch: BBQ ribs with potato salad, three bean salad, garlic bread, and pie.
Dinner: Veggie burger with an egg and avocado. Rice crispy treats. Finally finished off the rice crispy treats. Won't make that mistake again.

Day 789
So the last two days have been no working out. Today was different. Very different. I didn't have a structured workout but I still got a workout of sorts.
Today was a shooting workout. I competed in two different shooting competitions. The workout came about due to having to re-set targets. So the shooters would knock the targets over and the rest of us would run out and replace them. So it wasn't an intense workout but it still was a workout. Plus the shooting part was working the upper body fairly consistently. I liked it and will make plans to do this again.
Breakfast: Two egg mcmuffins.
Late lunch: Mexican with adult beverage.
Snack: Rice crispy treats
Dinner: Finished off the Mexican from lunch.

Day 787
Breakfast: Frittata and 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Two small wraps with falafel, quinoa, spinach, guacamole, and roasted peppers.
Dinner: Protein drink. A slice of bread with peanut butter and an egg. Rice crispy treats.
My work schedule was weird today so I ended up not working out at all. Tomorrow is Friday and I never work out on Friday so I'll have to make up for it some how. Maybe Sat?

Day 786
Met L for a workout as I'm busy this weekend.
Breakfast: Frittata with salsa and 20oz of cold water.
Lunch: Falafel wrap with quinoa, spinach, guacamole, and roasted peppers.
Dinner: Went crazy and had sushi. It was with rice but also had some raw fish so it's a better choice than I normally have. Slipped some rice crispy treats in there.
So we worked on a bit of both upper body and lower body. Easing into getting back to where I was before the operation. It felt good and no feeling of stress on the hernia area or the mid section. Yay!
