This weekend we went to Hard Rock for two nights. Eating was somewhat of a challenge and I took a few risks that I probably shouldn't have. Luckily I didn't have any negative side effects from anything.
My favorite meal by far was the hickory bbq pulled pork at the Hard Rock Cafe. YUM!
Today I decided to "get back on track" with my eating and did pretty well today with my protein (55 grams) -- shooting for 80, but that is damn good.
I just got my box of Isopure 8 oz protein drinks -- one is punch and one is grape. The taste is very good at first and then there is this very strange aftertaste that sometimes makes me gag. But for $50 (for 4 six-packs), I'm planning to drink them ALL. Each 8 oz drink has 15 grams of protein!
For lunch today I ate turkey pepperoni and Babybel mozzarella cheese melted in the microwave. Sooo good! This meal weighed 2 oz and I ate all but one of the bites.
I took a full-length selfie in our hotel room because I will appreciate the butt shots one day. I have definitely lost a bunch of inches around my waist because I could pull these jeans down while they were zipped and buttoned!! They ended up being very annoying to wear walking around because I was constantly pulling them up.
Now that I am doing well with my protein and fluids, my next two life habits I MUST get used to more are taking my vitamins regularly and exercising at least 3 times a week. I signed up for the President's Challenge at work and committed to working out 3 times a week, so I plan on sticking to it. My bicycle has been outfitted with a new cruiser seat so my butt won't hurt riding for a while. Rich also put some flashing lights on the front and back for me, AND I just got a cell phone holder that clips on to the handlebar so that I can mount my phone and track my rides via Map My Ride app.
Tomorrow will be my 5-week mark! Looking forward to a week of nutritional food, good bike rides, and a bit of weight loss, too!
