Yesterday, of course, I worked out early in the AM before I wrote my post, so there's no new exercise outings to report. Last night, being my penultimate night here before I leave to ND was one that I wanted to work on things around the house. My wife, it seems had made other plans. Other plans that really ran counter to just about everything I hoped to accomplish. The upshot is that we ended up at Mancini's in St. Paul. I had a 10 oz. piece of chicken that wasn't too bad, I guess. My father-in-law really liked those kinds of places, but I have to tell you that (a) I don't like eating out that much and (b) I really don't care to go to old time supper clubs. I'm going to discuss this more in detail at the Neighborhood. I have thought about what normal will be when I get done with this diet. I'm not sure that normal will be much different from where I am now. The scale was up today and is up two pounds since January 1, despite all of my working out and calorie watching. I think my body has totally gotten used to eating this much. I have to say that I'm not hungry and I don't think my body is starving. I have been steadily improving in my workouts. I have committed to stage two, i.e. adding strength training, so I don't want to go back on that because that is so important to me. I'm pissed off, though, that I've stalled out 15 pounds from the goal. To address that, I will focus on weight reduction in ND and stage two here. Also, when I am in ND, I will be controlling my eating. No forays to the supper club or Culver's.
Tonight's workout is in jeopardy, too. I have to get ready for my trip and it is Culver's night for my daughter's school. Oh, goodie. More eating out, this time at a fast food joint.
10-oz piece of chicken? Jiminy. Did you have half a bird?
You know, they have these things called doggie bags. 🙂
I should have left half of it on the plate.
on the bright side, it was protein. So you gave your kidneys a workout.
I went to spinning last night and it wiped me out. There were more hills in that "ride" than the entire MS 150!
My experience with spinning class is that it is hardcore.
