 Weight today: 191.0

Up a little from yesterday,  but that seems to be somewhat typical after a weight training day. Today is a running day so we will see what tomorrow looks like.

Just 12 more days on this diet. I have lost 6 pounds over all so it is going pretty well.

Today I have eaten:

•  
  • #1 and #2 of my 3 fats (in the whole smoothie)
  • #1 of my 2 proteins  (in the whole smoothie)
  • #1.5 of my 2 milks (in the whole smoothie)
  • #1 and #2 of my 4 grains (in the whole smoothie)
• coffee
• diet soda

I am going on vacation next week. I intend to try and stick with things. I don’t know how regularly I will be able to make entries. I don’t know about internet access in the mountains where we are staying. Hopefully I can make a few entries anyway.

FOr Lunch I am having:

• the second 1.2 of my smoothie (315 calories)
• Banana (80 calories) - my 1st of 4 fruits
• Grapes (80 calories) - my 2nd of 4 fruits
• Low Fat Ham Sandwich on whole grain bread (150 calories) - the rest of my grains and some more of my protein for the day

I’ll let you know how the rest of the day goes. So I am at about 960 calories for the day. I know I have some grapes for a snack this afternoon which will get me to dinner with 1040 calories and I will still need to eat 3 veggies, 1 protein, 1 fruit and 2 fats. In fact I will record my afternoon snack now

• grapes (80 calories) and the 3rd of my 4 fruits

So that gets me to 1040 calories. I’ll keep you posted as to dinner. Of course tonight is a running night as well so I will knock out between 4.25 and 5 miles. Somewhere in there.

Looks like dinner will be:

• 1 - 5 oz New York Strip (300 calories and the rest of my protein)
• Horace’s Veggie Chili (250 calories) and all my veggies

That will have me at 1600 calories. 300 left and still need to eat 2 fats,1 fruit and half a milk. I know the dairy will be yogurt (80 calories) which will leave 220, which would be nicely taken up by 1 oz of Almonds (200 calories and my last fat for the day) and another banana (80 calories) for a grand total of 1960. Hopefully I can stick to all of that.

Well - scratch the whole dinner plans

Here’s what actually happened -

I went home and ran 5 miles, then ran a combined hill workout/interval training session. THEN, my significant other decided that we should have my 2nd diet vacation night and since I was in my third week, it did fit. NOw it just puts the pressure on for the next 11 days not to cheat.

Anyway, my diet vacation consisted of

• 4 pieces of cheese pizza
• 2 lite beers
• ice cream
• small white chocolate candy bar

Not all-in-all too bad for a single diet binge. I felt okay with it since I had the run. We’ll see what happens.
