It's The Weekend!!! (909 Days Left)

I got a lot of things going on today so I decided to get up an hour earlier and exercise since I don't know if I'll have time later this evening. I feel more awake than usual this morning...probably from going to bed an hour earlier and exercising at 5AM.


The day and the rest of the weekend is shaping up to be pretty nice. Half day at work today...Woohoo!!!  I have an appointment to turn in my leased vehicle this afternoon so it's not all fun and games like I would want.  Later this evening is a guys night out.  Typically this involves dinner, beer, poker, cigars, sports and NO WIVES (sorry  ladies).  I'll be watching my intake for sure.  I have some turkey brats and a salad ready to go.

Saturday is actually all work.  Fun work though.  I have another friend who I will be helping brew about 10 gallons of beer. The reason I help so many people is because I have the equipment and I know the process. The rest of the day will be spent working around the house.

Since Sunday is Father's Day (HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you dads), I decided that we will be spending the day at the park.  I'll be packing up the new 5 day cooler and heading out to one of the local park/beaches for a day with my kids.

This is how yesterday shaped up:
I walked on a treadmill for the first time yesterday.  Aside from trying to get my legs about me for the first few minutes, it was not bad.  I changed pace between 2.5 and 3 mph through the workout.
B: Greek Yogurt
S: Carrots, Celery
L: The other 6 inches of Subway ham and cheese from yesterday
S: Orange
D: Roast, potatoes, carrots, green beans
S: Popcorn
30 Minutes Cardio

Have a great weekend!

910 Days Left

Yesterday was a pretty good day.  I was busy at work and then I headed over to my sisters to use my brother-in-laws garage to change my brake pads.  I am not a car person but I do take pride in the fact that I can change the oil and brake pads like a pro. My sister took notice and said that it looked like I lost some weight.  The best part is that she didn't even know I had been trying so the compliment seemed pretty genuine.

Even though I got home late, I was still able to get 30 minutes exercise in while I was watching the hockey game (way to go Boston!).  I ended up consuming just under 1600 calories for the day, which is right on target.  I was even able to turn down several beer and regular soda offers from my sister, which I am proud of.  A few weeks ago, I would have probably had about 2 or 10 beers while working on the car.  Instead, I declined and enjoyed a homebrew while I watched the game later in the evening.

Here is how my eating for the day played out:
B: Egg Beater omelet with a slice of cheese
S: Greek yogurt
L: 4 oz. turkey breast, pickles
S: carrots, celery, orange
D: Subway 6in ham and cheese
S: beer and Tostidos Scoops
Total Calories: 1512
