Day 8 - January 8, 2014

Starting weight - 224.4
Total Weight Loss to date - 5.8 LB

Beginning of week 2.  Let's Go!

Breakfast - 2 bowls of CHeerios with 2% milk

Originally forgot to mention - I had a red bull on the way to work. I really was tired on the way in.  NEEDED to stop, but I walked in and made a left to the Red Bull, completely ignoring what was on the right (DUnkin Donuts)  :-)

Lunch - lost a bet with Big "Z" a few weeks ago - over break actually, so I had to buy lunch at Denaro's.  Had a half sandwich (6 inch) of turkey, pepperoni and Yellow american cheese.  We split fries and I had a diet root beer.  Could have done with out the fries, but it was part of the bet, and as the loser of the bet, I could not delete the fries!  Plus, i am doing great, so those were my first fries of the new year I think!

Snack - a student baked cupcakes for the pit orchestra, and I have trouble saying no to students when they cook!  SOOOO, I did good with this one.  I took it and had 1 bite at 3:30, 1 bite at 4:30, and 2 bites at 5:30.  I got 3 snacks out of one cupcake!  I think that is the best scenario for eating a cupcake.

Dinner - My typical salad, but delete all the cold cuts/meat, and add carrots!  I had 5.5 ounces of chicken with a little BBQ flavoring on it too and a seltzer.

Overall, it was not my best day of the year, but it is 100% better than any day of October, November or December 2013.  So I will take that.  

EXERCISE - Going to gym tonight to get my first racquetball game of 2014 in.  Meeting Cousin Pete at 9:30 to play.  Curious to see if the running helps my stamina in the game, because I usually play real hard and then get tired and winded quickly.  Will see how this goes . .  . . . .. . . .

Well, i got my ass handed to me in racquetball.  but got some good exercise in. PLayed 4 games - 1 hour and 10 minutes.  I won the last game only.  Wore me out though, and thats the real reason to play, so I can handle getting beaten.  Stamina definitely better.  Usually I win early, and get tired then lose.  THis time, I only won late!

Off to bed.
