Not so little, Never too late.

Not much today.  I what I was able to do is be deliberate about what I ate.  The truth is that I really didn't have much opportunity to eat, but when I did, I kept my goals in mind.  At "breakfast", which pretty much amounted to one hot dog,  I tossed the bun.  (Yeah, I know.  Really not much of a breakfast at all, thus the quotes)  I eliminated the simple carbs.  Dinner was a chef's salad.  More veggies, limited sugar and simple carbs.

I know those of you who know better, those of you who graze,  eat five small meals a day, and well balance meals at that might be thinking I'm being sophomoric about my diet but give me a break.  I haven't yet gotten into the habbit of preparing all five meals a day a week in advance!  I wanted to start today.  That's what I was able to do for myself today.  Just like Bob.  Baby Steps!

Another "baby step" I took over the weekend was switching from beer, to vodka and diet coke.  Yeah, yeah, yeah....  Laugh it up.  Look at me, the picture of health.  But I'll tell you this.  I actually felt better the next day and besides..... I've never heard of anyone with a "vodka belly"

Lastly....  When I got home this evening,  I was a bit tired and found it hard to motivate.  I thought to myself that I could hit the gym later, and being it was still light out, I thought I'd have time to grab a salad, let it digest, then head out. Such a moron.  It must've been 8pm when I ordered,  the salad got to me around 8:40.  Got done with the salad and some TV around 9:30.  Then it would take a half hour to get to the gym, which closes at 10pm. Frak!

I could've just said, there's always tomorrow.  Instead  I got my ass out of my favorite chair and took the dog out for a "run" around a dirt track in a nearby park.  I did a quarter mile lap, before I took my first walk break, then I decided to try something different for me.  I ran briskly for 200 meters then walked 200 meters and repeated that about 4 times then walked around a last 400 meters.  I called it quits after that 'cause the dog looked tired. 

One thing I would have like to do today was some light free weights but not bad for today.

Tomorrow is gonna prove challenging.  I've got a little work field trip planned to the 6 Points Brewery in Brooklyn.  Yes, beer.  I'm gonna be doin' a lot of "tasting" tomorrow.  So the plan is for me to get up mad early and hit the gym, then get home, shower and be off to meet my co-workers and head of to our little excursion.  I gotta be honest.  I don't think..... well... maybe.  We'll see.  I might even surprise myself.  I'll set the alarm and see what happens.

Nighty night all.
