Day 75
Still another picture perfect day. It could have been mid-summer and it's March. Crazy. Loving it, though.
I could tell that I'd had too much starch yesterday. Felt just a tiny bit bloated this morning and if you believe the scale I was up a little. I'm not worried about it -- I am trying real hard not to worry about the scale other than at monthly weigh-in time -- but it's another reminder that I need to tighten it up. I am starting to think that ultimately I will end up following a life plan a lot like the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet but more on that some other day.
Breakfast: ~ 3 oz ham
Post-golf: 12 oz Miller Lite
Lunch: Taco salad, spicy pork
Dinner: A couple bites of steak, braised cabbage with 3 slices bacon, garlic
Totally screwed up the steak. Need to get more propane for the grill. The cabbage was good but it was supposed to be a side dish, not the meal!
Dessert: NSA rice pudding cup
On the exercise front, got in 18 holes this morning. I didn't get as much of an opportunity to walk, since I rode by myself (carts are required on weekends), but I figure I still got in a couple miles. Not great but good enough.
March days with meaningful exercise: 11.
One more thought on that subject -- I could not be happier with how much better I feel on the course. I know it's early and I haven't played in heat and humidity yet but I have a lot more energy. No struggles. And with a new pair of better-fitting shoes plus a quality ankle brace and I haven't had any foot or ankle pain this week! I'm really starting to get excited for what could happen if I continue to lose weight and get in better shape.
