Day 140 - 225 Days Remaining - 140 Days to First Goal Weight (220 pounds)

Today marks the halfway point to my first goal weight. I have been training for 140 days and have 140 days to go. Overall I feel I've done pretty well. Sticking with it will be the theme for the next 140 days.

My run last night was different than normal. I did my normal 5 minute walk to warm up, but then ran until I couldn't run any more. I measured it out using Gmaps Pedometer and it ended up being just over a mile. After that I walked until my GymBoss said time to run and finished by doing my programmed 2:30 run 2:30 walk for the remainder of the 2.6 mile run. Recovery after my run was over was hard, I was very, very tired and it took a while for my blood pressure to come down. I need to start incorporating longer running segments into my run, I think I'll go to 3:00 run 2:00 walk on Thursday.

Breakfast
3 egg whites [1.5P]
3 strips bacon [1P/1F]
mixed fruits [3.5C]
2 tsp. olive oil [2F]

Lunch
Indian buffet with my work team.
It dawned on me last night that this is going to be a terrible week for lunch. I'm booked today, tomorrow, and Friday to go out to lunch with friends.

Afternoon Snack
Skipped, way too much food at lunch.

Dinner
1 1/2 ounces baked fish [1P]
1/2 cup mixed vegetables [1C]
3 whole almonds [1F]
I had a light dinner to compensate for having two plates from the Indian buffet at lunch.

Evening Snack
21 peanuts
I wasn't going to have an evening snack, but I started craving salt so I had some peanuts.
