Day 19-21 for Kyle

I don't mean to make this a habit of reporting in 3 days at a time. But sometimes the schedule dictates such behavior. That said:

Friday - Multi-grain cheerios and almond milk for breakfast.
Lunch was the rest of my Zuppa Toscana soup a granola bar and a brownie that Kim and the girls brought me for Valentines Day.
For dinner, Mom and G-ma came to our games and they hooked me up with a Market Fresh sandwich from Arby's, those things are more filling than one might assume.

Saturday - the lazy morning led to me having breakfast at like 9:30 or 10, a couple of eggs 2 slices of sourdough bread and a fruit smoothie with almond milk and almond butter.
Lunch was not planned well, we were out and about taking care of kids and cousins and I had a few pretzel bites from pretzel maker, then we fed the kids some chicken nuggets and apple slices at the McDonald's. I had some nuggets and a few fries.
Dinner was our Valentines Day date, Kim had planned it and we went over to a nice restaurant here in Logan called Elements. Good food, it was one of those 2 for 50 type meals where you split an appetizer and then each get your own salad, entree, and dessert. So the appetizer was shrimp cocktail and coconut shrimp with a veggie egg roll. Not a very big appetizer which is good. I had a small cobb salad with light honey mustard, and then a bacon wrapped filet with garlic mashed potatoes. And for dessert I had this brownie thing with ice cream.
     --- This meal was really pretty good, and not quite as big as you might think. At no point did I feel overly stuffed and full. I drank water, as opposed to the Pepsi I would normally order in this situation. It was a pretty nice celebration dinner.

Sunday - Breakfast was a flax seed/wheat flour waffle that Kim had whipped up, with fruit and syrup. Lunch was more like snacks really, I had some sourdough toast and some celery with pb and apple (Mom's idea). Dinner was honey dijon pork chops with roasted potatoes/vegetables and garlic bread.

Each day I feel good and feel like I am keeping my portions in relative check. The water instead of soda thing is definitely the thing that I have noticed being the most impactful on how I feel each day. And on the nice end of things I lost 1.5 lbs, so as of this morning I am down to 330.5. The results are nice to see, in some ways it makes it easier to keep off the Pepsi, knowing that change along with others is producing good results.

Until next time -
