Day the whatever...

Food journal. It's been a long time since I began this long journey into getting healthy and losing the weight. I have been stuck where I have been for some time, but I am so much better than where I started!

Food:

Breakfast - 2 oatmeal scones with honey. 600 ml water,

Lunch - meatloaf - between 3 and 4 oz. Spinach with 2/3 serving green goddess - 2 servings carrots. 1 diet pepsi.

Dinner - Vitamin D milk, 1 serving oatmeal cereal, handful blueberries. 1 serving chocolate frozen yougurt.

1 yeungling.

4 handfulls pretzels. I was happy with the food journal up until the pretzel bit. I wanted another beer too, but had some unsweetened green tea instead. I will have some more green tea and then off to bed.


Had a walk after work: took me 36 minutes to walk what I normally run in 20 min. I guess I am not as slow as I think I am. I did want to go for a walk, but not to run today, because my legs and glutes hurt after yesterday.

Blog blog blog

I feel like I keep telling myself that I need to blog more often. After all, I work out 4-5 times a week, I eat every day, and I send my food journal to Rosie quite often. And yet, here we are AGAIN, it's been a month since last I blogged about my wt loss journey.

So food for today:

Breakfast: 2 oatmeal scones with 2 small jelly cups (ya know, the ones that you get in a greasy spoon diner) 1 cup coffee with almond creamer. 600 ml water.

Lunch - 3.5 oz meatloaf (it's a mixed meatloaf - 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ground beef) with a sweet glaze, a salad with green goddess (2/3 of a serving of dressing) and a sweet delish peach.

had a bottle of H20 on the way home from work.

Ran 20 min in the 90+ heat, then spent 10 minutes weedwacking on the slope out back (got the ol' HR back up to the 140's), then did 100 squats (felt it in the glutes and thighs today)

a serving of vitamin D milk post run.

Dinner: 1 serving of lentil-bean soup, with 9 saltines, 1 serving frozen yougurt (120 calories, and so delish. I needed the chocolate) a single yeungling...

Later on - I had a 1/2 a quart of water, then had another serving milk with oatmeal squares cereal (I love it - it's so expensive, but I like it so much!)



It does not sound too bad, I don't think....

Wt post workout and more water than usual..... 177 lbs.
