Hit Hard, Fighting Back

Sunday, January 6, 2013

Another super peaceful morning.  I only saw one other walker, no joggers and I only had to dodge 3 cars.  I do love the early hours -- how the hell did I never know?

Rough afternoon and evening yesterday.  I finally managed to pull myself out of it but since it's uncharted territory I don't really have a lot of experience doing so, nor do I have a lot of tools.  I'm looking forward to getting back into the usual routine tomorrow and golf season can't come soon enough.

Breakfast:  Omelet with all kinds of stuff - bacon, sausage, ham, tomato, onion, jack cheese and sour cream.  Diced redskin potatoes, 1 slice sourdough toast, coffee

I have not mastered the art of suavely taking
 a good photo when dining out.  Sigh.

I know that I need to not eat out so much.  It's true that I love me some breakfast prepared by other people though.  One of these days I should ask them about their preparation methods - I'm sure there is some kind of (ugh) vegetable oil involved in the preparation of the potatoes, but at least it's not noticeable.

Also:  Portion sizes.  My stomach must be shrinking, I am STUFFED.  Completely full.  Right to the very edge of uncomfortable but thankfully not over.

Lunch:  Bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup

This might be my best batch yet!

Didn't need a lot, this hit the spot.

Dinner:  Meatloaf, boxed potatoes, green beans with cheddar cheese.  Ate quite a bit.

Exercise:  Usual morning loop, pedometer said 3.5 miles today.  It's still 3.  Also did 20 girl push ups and 20 sit ups with better form.  Those are starting to come a bit easier, though I pretty much died on the last push up.  If I can get to 50 maybe I'll try real push ups.  Oh, and I really should add leg lifts.  I always hated leg lifts, but they would definitely help strengthen the abdomen.
