Saturday Morning

My shoulders hurt. That’s to be expected after Jiu Jitsu last night (see last night’s post Jiu Jitsu). I had Muscle Milk for breakfast this morning – really good stuff. I’m still not hungry from yesterday but I need to boost my metabolism so I’ll drink the protein drink and go from there. I also ended up poaching an egg due to watching Julie / Julia on Netflix. So good and even more protein. However, that will have to count as my snack :)

This is my day off from the gym. I've gone the last 6/7 days. My muscles are tired and need today off. Tomorrow the gym is closed for Easter. I intend to take the dog on a nice long walk and at least get up and move around. Maybe do interval? Walk and then run and then walk -- rinse and repeat.

Tom and I are going to see Clash of the Titans today. I’m a huge fan of the original (the clockwork owl amuses me!). Lately, Tom and I had started getting all the junk food at a movie. New rule: no popcorn and probably no soda. Actually, that’s an interesting point. I haven’t had any soda for a week. I’ve only had water. Unfortunately, I only drink Diet soda so I’m not cutting calories that way. It could explain some of the inches lost but I’m not sure. I’d rather think I’m burning fat and building muscle.

Today is game day. This mean Annemarie is cooking. I am bringing my own dinner and 24 brownies to share with friends. I’m going to try to just have one. You see, I can’t say no to everything. Oh, some people can and perhaps one day I’ll not crave the sweets. However, one brownie isn’t so bad. It’s when I eat 6 the problems begin.
Anyone know a good gadget for tracking weight? I was looking for one for this blog but can’t find one.

Weight Loss Tip of the Day: On a protein bar check the carbs. It shouldn’t have more carbs than protein.

Highest weight I stepped on a scale at: 232
Current Weight: 220.2 (slow and steady and almost back below that 220 mark!)
Also -- My Jiu Jitsu Pants are getting too big!
