‘I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.’ ~Mae West

TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN POUNDS!!! Weighed myself last night and it was 214 shortly after dinner (211 this morning). I knew I was around there since I weighed myself at the gym a month ago and was around 208-210. Add on some binge drinking of Guinness and you get 214! I really don't care about numbers but when you put it in the context of a year ago it's ridiculous. One year ago in August while training for the marathon I was 187 at the lowest but mostly hovered around 190. Yeah....that's a 25 pound increase in one year (and not a "good" 25 #'s). Needless to say, I've let myself go regardless if I was training for a race or not!! Time to get back to it.


Anyway....on with the day (Friday)......
Sleep - 1045-530 (so much for getting to bed earlier!)

Got up and ran on treadmill for 1/2 mile before I realized how much I hate running on treadmill in vibrams! It's hard to focus on form when it's pulling me along. We'll see if I run later or just wait until the weekend.

Breakfast - 630am
Eggs and a little fruit. Had 1 chicken sausage with 5 eggs*, mushrooms*, garlic*, coconut oil*, salt, pepper, Tabasco. Also had 2 cups black coffee from home around 800am on bus ride into work.

Love these things

my eggs are never pretty but they sure are tasty!

1115am - cup of green tea

Lunch 1215pm - Mixed Greens Salad Bar
Romaine, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, blue cheese, one scoop balsamic vinaigrette, and grilled chicken. I also ate a handful of macadamia nuts as well. I can't wait to do some shopping this weekend.....this shit isn't even that good!!



















300pm - 2 cups of black coffee, cashew cookie Larabar

Outback tonight! Trying the crab legs.

615pm - 1# of crab legs, asparagus, (and my favorite) blue cheese wedge salad. Glass of fresh brewed iced tea from keurig.



















Dessert - 745pm
1/2 serve dark chocolate* about 125 calories (this is the BEST chocolate ever)






Countdown is on....two more weeks till we get our quarter of a Minnesota grass fed cow!!!

Tomorrow - Nice little Saturday....Farmers market, Smurfs movie, maybe Lowes in the afternoon to look at freezers for Bessie!
