Day 45/365
229.6 lbs

coffee, ham/egg/blue cheese scramble

bbq babyback ribs, onion rings, few beers

carrot cake

So as has been the pattern, day off = taking some liberties. This is what I want to have stop. I guess I'm making baby steps (no nachos, pizza, super carb heavy entree) but it could have been better. Didn't have to eat onion rings, didn't have to have beer. Certainly didn't have to have carrot cake. Justified it b/c wife is travelling for work next week, then I'll be traveling the week after and our schedules won't match-up for awhile. Kinda our last night out and about for probably a month... so enjoyed a few things with her. Only OK if stick to plan over the next few weeks (i.e. not have an excuse since I'll be eating on my own... not that the excuse is a good one anyway)

bench press - 215x4, 205x5, 185x6

Day 49/365

Long LONG day of work. Stayed good at lunch and strayed just a bit in the late afternoon. Considering there was a full spread of cakes, cookies, taco bar, chowder, popcorn, etc.... not bad.

coffee

fajita steak/chicken (no tortillas), side salad

caesar chicken wrap, 1 cookie

Day 50/365
230.2 lbs

Actually pleasantly surprised with the weight at 230 after straying a bit each of the past two days. Weird day after a long one yesterday. Had to wake up at 5:30 to drive to airport. Got some sleep, but clock pretty thrown off. Great job to NOT grab a crappy lunch (burger, fries, etc.)

Only food today: baby back ribs. Yes I have been a bit obsessed with them lately. Was in costco looking for something, so got a full rack. half for lunch, half for dinner. Sauce does have some sugar, but figured it was better than the alternative. (pizza, sub, burger)

Unsure if I can hit the gym tomorrow... definitely Wednesday.

Day 51/365

Fasted through the day until dinner (other than coffee). Another weird day... had to drive someone to airport early (again!) and still felt really tired from a long weekend of work. Finally feel caught up tonight and looking forward to a productive day off... including a visit to the gym!

coffee

wings

big bottle of water (make it more of a habit!)

Day 52/365
230.6 lbs

Having a hell of a time breaking through the barrier at 230, but really happy I'm staying on point for the most part and straying in moderation instead of killing myself in the gym and eating Waay less just to get a number on the scale. Definitely look better... Definitely getting stronger.

Having said that, had a few beers again! Haha overall a good day though

Few pieces of pepperoni

Steak, broccoli, sweet potato, beers
