Four-peat

Day 254,

Yesterday I hit the exercise Trifecta. Today, I managed a Four-Peat. I'm so sore, I may need copious amounts of ibuprohen, a tube of Ben Gay, a few Icy Hot patches, and a cane just to get around tomorrow. But, I'm content.

I've been working my way back into the game for weeks... possibly months now. And, I finally feel like I'm there. I've been seeking motivation from others like Sean Anderson who has a blog called The Daily Diary of a Winning Loser. His story is so inspirational. He started out at 505 pounds a little over two years ago and today, at 239 lbs, he is just a few pounds from his goal.

I am particularly fond of his "Calorie Bank and Trust". I've created one for myself. My bank has 1800 calories per day in it. I can choose whatever I want, so long as I stay at or below 1800 calories. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the leftovers yet. 

I've stayed well within the 1800 this week. But, I missed breakfast yesterday and today and that is just not acceptable. The very nature of the term Breakfast is to Break the fast that your body goes through during sleep. Eating breakfast jump starts your metabolic furnace. I had snacks at the office to eat and forgot them too because I got busy. I know better. I will do better.

Today I ate:
Burrito Bowl from Chipotle with steak, rice, beans, salsa and cheese
Which Wich Sub and House Chips
Small Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream from Marble Slab Creamery

Tomorrow, we migrate north to Newton Falls, Ohio for the long holiday weekend. I'm excited to see my friends and can't wait to enjoy some down time.

Cheers!
