Day 45

GOALS

• Goal date:  2/26/11
• Weight goal: 217.8 pounds
• Total Inches goal: 124-1/4

Scale weight today was 221. A notch above goal weight for the day. I noticed a discrepancy in my spreadsheet that made me re-do the "Goal, Actual, Trend Weights" chart. I'm still on track, but the 'Goal' line has become more aggressive, so at first glance, it doesn't look like I'm doing as well as yesterday. In fact, I'm doing better.

Today, I did a semi-fast: No food until dinner. I may make this a weekly habit - skipping 2 meals one day per week. I am thinking the optimal day to do this is post-cheat day. I had my best weight-loss week ever when I did that. It doesn't seem to stress me out (as long as I stay hydrated, and don't cut out the coffee).

Tomorrow will be an interesting challenge. I am going to go light on the protein and heavy on the beans and vegetables for breakfast and lunch - because dinner is going to be a river of meat. I have a travel day at work, then I'm going to see Robert Cray at the Turning Stone Casino. Dinner is at the Casino's Brazilian Churrascaria, where I will be served an endless variety of meat without limit. The restaurant also has a huge salad bar, but most of the preparations are off-plan; only a few will work. Probably no simple beans available, although I might be able to find some as a simple salad ingredient. If it is like the other restaurants of this type I've eaten at, there will be no pictures due to low light (and lots of small portions served sequentially).

Here's today's picture of dinner:

   

Dinner

Mixed vegetables with a pepper-egg sauce (1 large organic scrambled egg, water, fresh-ground pepper) with a wild-caught salmon burger and a splash of balsamic vinaigrette.
