Thursday Sept 27

All in all a good day.  Stayed on task and worked out.  It is amazing but I feel so good after a workout.  I think its two parts.  First physically, and then emotionally that I did my workout that I need to lose the weight.

Bkfst: 2 eggs toast.  Snk: popcorn at Dondelinger’s.  Lunch: 1/2 hamburger at poncho’s mashed potatoes and some chips/salsa.  Snk: other 1/2 of hamburger.  Dinner: peach, “healthy dinner, (pre-made)”, Total cereal.  Ev snk: peach and protein desert bar.

Ex: 51 min run, jog, walk treadmill. (watching CSI)

Wednesday Sept 26

United Way Chili cook-off day.  62 different chili’s at the mall to raise money for the United Way.  Fun and I was one of many judges.  My group tasted (about one spoonful) of 20 chili’s.  Not the best thing for a guy trying to lose 100 but a fun day just the same. 

Bkfst: 2 eggs toast.  Snk: missed as I know about the chili.  Lunch: lots of Chili samples.  Snk: healthly Check mix.  Dinner: hamburger, couscous, and broccoli, and fruit.  Ev: snk protein desert bar, and (this was extra, some potato chips).  I think the extra was brought on by emotional eating out of an irritation I had during the work day, that was still annoying me. 

Ex: end of the day as I was busy.  34min treadmill variable paces.  (run, jog, walk, etc)

Tuesday Sept 25

Not a bad day.  Started out good but after work I went on an eating binge.  Started with healthy and then went to the chips.  Way over.  Dinner was the same way.  4 tacos instead of 2 I planned on having.  Went to watch TV and relax.  At one point the “Biggest Loser” show was on and I watched people a lot bigger than me work hard but only loose 2, 3, and 5 pounds  for the week.  Somehow this got me off the couch and on the treadmill.  Went for an hour straight of fast walking and running.  That was the most over by far.  Felt good and I was less annoyed of my let down from earlier with food.  Kind of works into the fitness tip of the week.  Had trouble, but didn’t quit.  Went back at it with a vengeance and turned out ok. 

Bkfst: Oatmeal, toast.  Snk: missed.  lunch Walleye sandwich  and fruit at Rockwoods.  Snk: Healthy instant hot-dish thing.  (home) peach, baked chips with salsa, and kettle chips.  Dinner: 4 tacos.  Snk:  protein dessert bar.

Wednesday Sept 19

Today was a fun but not a good day for weight-loss.  I started the day good with a great hour workout.  Then headed to Fergus Falls for Lunch with their Sertoma club.  Then visited some clients in FF and Detroit Lakes.  I had to be back in Fergus for the Sertoma club new officer dinner.  Lunch was a wonderful bacon cheese burger, with fries and dinner was a fabulous pork tenderloin, corn on the cob and salad.  There was more food, but I did my best to pass, as I had gone to far already.  The part to remember was I did my event planning and ate the best items, and stayed away from the rest.  And I cut back the rest of the day. 

Bkfst: grapenuts.  Snk: latte.  Lunch: bacon cheeseburger, fries.  Snk: low fat brownie.  Dinner:  see above.  Snk: none.  Lots of water.

Ex: 20 treadmill, 20 elliptical, 20 treadmill. stretching

Sunday September 9

Now that I am backed into the corner I don’t really have the option of a free day anymore.  Oh, I will have a little extra if I worked out, or cut back on other meals but no more just blind free days.  With the school year started and the labor day behind I have new focus and am doing pretty good.  Still have moments where I argue I can have this and tomorrow I will do better, but those moments are getting to be fewer as I have no tomorrows. 

Bkfst: Healthy pancakes, 1 egg, 1 glass skim milk.  Snk: peach, healthy chips, grapes.  Lunch:  Healthy pancakes, 1 egg and milk (I liked the bkfst) and used sugar free syrup.  Aft snk: popcorn for part of Vikes game.  Diner: leftover hot wings, then 1 McDonald’s double cheeseburger, no cheese, and a few of my sons fries.  Ev snk healthy chips.  All in all a fairly good day for a Sunday that is normally a free for all, and I worked outside building dock sections for over 5 hours.

Ex: work dock sections, Jogged 3 miles on Tread mill. 

Wednesday, Sept 5

Good day.  I think I am a little better at doing the right things.  I assume it helps to be backed into a corner and there really is no option to start tomorrow.  I must do well each day. 

Bkfst: Oatmeal, 1 toast.  Snk: Healthy Chips.  Lunch Sertoma/bonanza: 2 pieces broiled chicken, steak 1/2 potato.  Snk: rice and beans pack.  Diner: 1/2 burger, roast, cold salad stuff, (all leftovers from Labor Day weekend).  Desert: healthy cookie, and then a orange bar 60 cal from DQ.

Ex: 50min in FitQuest Aerobic class.

Will be on the road for Thursday so we will see how that goes.  I do plan on bringing a meal plan and my own snacks.
