Hi Everyone,

I wanted to say Hi.  I finally had some time to sit down and write and reflect on my weight loss journey.  A co-worker of mine wrote an entry on his site today at FatGuyOnADiet.com about the recent Gold Crushing Olympian Michael Phelps and his amazing 12,000 a day calorie diet.  I think that his calorie intake verses his calorie output proves that you got to have activity in your life.

That is one thing that I struggle with.  Again I will get up early in the morning and try to make it to the gym.  I guess I’m not hungry enough yet.  Maybe I should think I’m single!! LOL!!  But you get the point.  All of us over the years after we are married have fallen to the tire around our waist. I’m blessed though to have friends that eat healthy and are skinny from good activity and healthy food choices.

I’m listening to a very cool mellow album right now by Oceanlab called “Sires of the Sea”.  The album was presented by DJ’s Above & Beyond.

 

I had some good meal choices today and here they are:

 Breakfast:

Quaker Oatmeal: 2 packets: 314 Calories
No Fear Energy Drink: 20 calories

Total for Breakfast: 334 Calories

2^nd Breakfast:

My boss brought in bagels and I had to have one.
St. Louis Bread Company Plain Bagel: 290 calories
Plain Cream Cheese: 200 calories
Total: 490 caloires

Lunch:

Lunch was very absolutely yummy today.  When my wife and I went shopping this past weekend I picked up one of Oscar Meyer’s Deli Creations. It was fast and easy and was full of flavor. Did not taste like a typical TV dinner.

Deli Creations (Fajita Beef and Salsa): 280 Calories

Dinner:

 You guessed again. 2 for 2.  Roly Poly for dinner. I went with #53 again. The Chicken Popper.

Whole #53 Chicken Popper sandwich: 518 Calories

For desert I had one of those weight watchers ice cream bars: 150 calories

Total for Dinner: 668 calories

Total for August 13, 2008: 1772 calories
