The start of the new work week and I'm setting out to make some changes. I am hoping to start a new workout regime and help myself not get burned out from over extending myself. I'm skipping cardio for a day and trying to give my knees and shoulder joints a rest. I'm using body weight and bands along with the exercise ball to create a workout. I'm planning on that approach for tomorrow's workout. Tonight will be cardio as usual.
I'm also trying to continue the eating less method. So this week will be quinoa burgers as a wrap with spinach and broccoli.
Okay here's the list for today:
Breakfast: Egg and ham patty with a slice of turkey on a skinny bun with avocado and tomato. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: So I didn't eat the Mexicali salad that I had brought to the game on Sunday so I ate it today. I added a tomato and a quinoa patty.
2nd snack: Was supposed to be a Larabar but the boss brought in DONUT HOLES! OMG! I can't win. Of course I ate way more than I should have. It's funny but sometimes you just can't win and definitely I didn't even try to not eat the donut holes.
Dinner: So dinner this week will be a hodge podge of stuff. First up is cauliflower, baby carrots, and hummus. Followed by pistachios and the seed bar. And finished up with a Greek yogurt. Oh a bit later had a puffed rice cake thing.

Day Ninety-four
So the day after weigh-in and work out with L day. Still wanting to take it down a notch for the leg/knee so didn't go for a bike ride today. Went for a long walk instead. I also didn't have any plans for today as I'm on vacation for the next week and a half. I let myself sleep in much later than I normally do, it was fun. I was very haphazard in the eating department today also. As you will see, I pretty much threw the baby out with the bath water today. So let's get to it:
Breakfast: Now normally I'd have my oatmeal breakfast but since I slept in so late it was basically brunch. So I had a two egg fratatta with spinach, quinoa, and feta. On top of the fratattaI put some cottage cheese and salsa. I was going to have two slices of wheat toast but decided that I would hold off.
After walk snack: Not really a snack but here's what I ate. Sour dough baggette sliced up and toasted in the oven (about 12 pieces) and spinach dip. As I said not one of my better days and we're not done yet.
Meal later in the day: Mini potstickers with broccoli, and quinoa in chicken broth.
Here's where it really goes off the rails. 12 cookies from a frozen cookie dough tub. Not all at once but still all the same day. Finally, a small bowl of Wheat thin chips with spinach dip. It was probably 25-30 Wheat thins.
So there you have it. Once again not the best day but not the worst either. Just not the way I want every day to go. Honestly though my days don't go like that, they are quite a bit better when it comes to eating better and not crazily. It was just one of those days that happens and you just have to look at the big picture. I am and it's the rest of my life, so one day doesn't break anything.

Day seventeen
Once again a good day. Got dressed up for work and wore a tie. Haven't worn a tie in quite a while. The revelation that hit me was that the buttoned up shirt collar wasn't tight around my neck. So it was great and I attribute that to losing weight. Otherwise no big realizations. Here's the food:
Breakfast:This morning I had my usual with a bit of a shake up. Instead of the canadian bacon, I had a veggie burger as part of my egg sandwich. Plus the banana and 20 oz of water.
Snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: Spinach salad with tuna and cauliflower, tomato, and red pepper. Yummy and delicious.
Snack: Remembered my apple, so had an apple and peanut butter. Could get used to that as a snack.
Dinner: Tonite instead of a salad as I've had all week ( well not Tues but...) I made a frittata. Two eggs mixed with a big handful of spinach, some yellow pepper, and Trader Joe's quinoa for additional protein. I threw some cottage cheese and mango-peach salsa on top. I also toasted a skinny bun and spread this lemony stuff on the slices. Not the best use of calories and carbs but couldn't help it and am not going to beat myself up over the choice.
I had a good work out after work. I did a little weight lifting and then hit the treadmill for 20 minutes at a rapid walking pace. Got a good sweat going. Last nite I used the rowing machine and this morning I woke up to my shoulder joints being a bit painful. I will have to ask L about that. Oh I had a piece of Bit-o-Honey candy today. Just one piece and I was satisfied. Yea!
