Had a great weekend. Got to go out with wifey without the kids! We got to split some high caloric foods. The dish we had at olive garden was a whopping 1018 calories! We determined we could save calories and dough by splitting. We have to go dancing sometime soon!
I’m spite of that meal (I had soup and breadsticks too), a few drinks, dinner with lougherys on saturday that included joy’s famous riff on Robert Redford, and a fly cheesy, sweet resurrection day brunch with the church on Sunday…oh buttery popcorn and candy and sprite at the movies…I managed to start the week less than I came in. I think the main thing is that I was active. Did my workout on Saturday, photoshoot with a bit of walking on Saturday, qt with the spouse on Friday;)
Anyway, I’m still doing it; it’s becoming a habit to become aware if what I’m doing with myself and putting in me.
I sorely miss my Chick-Fil-A. But am impressed that everyone’s enemy, McDonalds is on the list. Granted, people tend to pick on ‘em due to issues outside of nutrition.
If you’re at Subway, make sure you’re not ravenously hungry and end up eating the second half of your footlong that you intended to save for tomorrow’s lunch…oh wait…
:)
What a crummy weekend. Aight, so on the real, the weekend was really fresh, but my food intake wasn’t. i got a little cocky about eating pizza on friday, then “working it off” on saturday, and wasn’t watching much of anything (although i *was* aware all weekend of what mess i was getting myself into). I ended up with some stomach issues i’m still dealing with today even–i swear i’m still letting it out. i think i gained a net 2 or 3 pounds though.
in short–when pizza is available, i must be *very* careful. Buffets–near impossible. I even thought i was making good choices at the OCB, but even those were filled with a gang of grease and bad junk. and i paid for it.
Wow. I have to step back and think on this. With not much more than paying attention to my eating habits, and making a choice to make time to work out every day, i’ve dropped 30 lbs since December.
I have a bit more to go, intensity wise; i’m just getting started. I’m looking forward to more loss, more visible muscle, more plateauing and disappointment, more encouragement.
I’ll be posting on goals momentarily, as it’s visibly lacking around here, and people dig that kind of thing.:)
Odwalla Superfood, Pomegranate Juice and Pomegranite Limeaid. Take it in small doses (half a serving). an injection of sugary sweet goodness, with good stuff to match.
Wii -- I like everything about the gadget. Gamers bugger off; i am not one. I'll kill you in Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros. & Mario Kart, but beyond that i'm done. Moving around is dope. It's got me looking forward to playing tennis in the Spring.
Garmin Forerunner 50. I finally have this thing uploading data to both the Garmin Connect website and the personal tool. a great way to keep track of stuff, but in all honesty, their software needs way more work. The desktop has no obvious way to sync with the website (you can tell they've likely been done by two different entities), and the website sometimes simply doesn't work.
