Day 54 & Day 55

Im behind on my posting so this is for the whole weekend. We had a bunch of stuff going on and my eating was all over the place.

I was the same this week as last. This is the first time I haven't lost any weight, but I am pretty happy with the weight Im at so I havent been as diligent as I could be.

Day 53

On plan 100% today. I wanted to get a run in today, but practices got in the way again. Man I cant wait for practices and games to be over for the year. Having the kids done with school will help alot also. 3 kids, three sports = No time.

The schedule I am keeping these days, with work and practices is killing my weight loss, good thing I have been running alot, so I am at least maintaing my weight. So far this week I a stayed stable on the weight which is good. Im planing a big weekend of running 8 on saturday and 5 on sunday. So maybe that will help. I cheated again today and will again tommorow night at the kids school fun fair.

Day 51

My car is in the shop, so I was working from home today. This is always a dangerious time for me because the food is always there calling me. I did good, and stayed away from the food and was able to get a 5 mile run in at lunch. To make sure I stay away from the nice weather and the food, I worked from a desk we have in the basement. I got whatever food I need and went back down. Its sad I still cant trust myself around all the food. I think thats why I do so well on the weekdays at work.

Breakfast: PB Granola, greek yogurt, banana
Snack: Cheese Stick, Apple
Lunch: Ham and Bean Soup, Salad, bread and Almond Butter
Snack: BBQ Soy chips, Bread and almond butter, Apple
I had another bread and almond butter and an apple because I was really hungry after the 5 mile run
Dinner: PotRoast, carrots, potato, salad
Snack: None

Day 50

Was on plan until dinner tonight. My son had baseball practice tonight and I barely had time to get home from work and get him to practice, so I didnt have time to eat. Practices have been running a couple of hours so were not usually back home til around 8pm. So I broke down and ran through mcDonalds and got a grill chicken sandwich meal. I tasted really good, I have to admit, not good. No more of those, or it could become a habit.

Breakfast: PB Ganola, greek yogurt, banana
Snack: HB Egg, Apple
Lunch: NS Fetticini, Salad, bread
Snack: Cheese puffs
Dinner: McDonalds (DOH!)
Snack: None

Day 49

Back on plan today, and giving the legs a day of rest from running. Drank all my water today and at all my food.

Over the last year or so my eyesight has become worse and I now require reading glasses and I also use them for computer work. I did a lot of reading yesterday, but forgot my glasses at home. I ended up with a headache that didnt go away all night. I manage to throw some pitches to my son, but decided that running was out.

I tried the NS hamburger, it was a little scary comming out of the box, but once it was reconstituted it was pretty good.

Breakfast: Cinimmon bun, greek yogurt, banana
Snack: HB Egg, Apple
Lunch: Sausage beans and rice, Salad, bread
Snack: BBQ Soy chips
Dinner: NS beef patty, bun, salad, asperigus
Snack: NS oatmeal cookie

Day 48

Weigh in Day

As of this morning I am 215.6lb

Which mean I have lost 30.8 lbs and have only 5.6 to go until I reach goal. If things keep going like they have that is at most 2 weeks.

Im planning on really increasing my running as I want to do a marathon in the fall.
This means Ill have to try to get my calories boosted, but not to the point where I gain too much weight.

I want to make sure the calories are comming from nice healthy foods, and not junk.

I bought myself some recovery drink for after my runs, its a mix of carbs and protiens in a 4:1 ratio. This ratio has been proven to be the best for muscle recovery. Im hoping it will help me recover faster so I can get more running days in each week.

Breakfast: PB granola bar, greek yogurt, banana
Snack: Cheese stick, Apple
Lunch: Almond butter half sandwich, cottage cheese, banana
Snack: Post workout recovery drink
Dinner: Tacos, salad, mixed veggies
Snack: PB cookie
