Why hello January!

Well, so far 2011 has been pretty good to me. I mean, I know we are only two days in, but if keeps going this way (aka nothing too catastrophic happening) it should be a pretty swell year! As far as weighing in goes, so far it’s not too shabby either! I lost 2.2 pounds in my short week! So now I’m down to 304.8 pounds, less than 5 pounds away from breaking 300. I’m so freakin’ stoked! Can I lose 4.8 pounds in 11 days? Stay tuned dear reader!

Lunch: After church, Megan and I went with some people from church to Chipotle to catch up from winter break. As you may recall, I should be the president of the Chipotle Fan Club, but today I was pretty disappointed. We split a vegetarian burrito, like we usually do, but they hardly put anything on the dad gum burrito! I’m no professor of burritology (but I should be) but there shouldn’t be more guacamole than rice on the burrito. I feel like we got gypped pretty bad. (Plus you know it’s small when someone trying to lose weight complains about the portion size. I mean really!) Anyways, for half of the pathetic burrito it was 7 points.

Snack: Since the burrito sucked, by around 3:00 I was pretty hungry again so I had some Kashi Cereal of Awesomeness which is only 4 points with milk.

Snack: The Sequel: Later, Megan and I decided to hit up Starbucks since we were both working on stuff. (I was working on my Fitblogger article for the 1oth! I’m so stoked!) I changed it up today and had a Iced Nonfat Caramel Macchiato which was only 4 points. Yum to the power of awesomeness.

Dinner: Luckily, dinner made up for lunch. Yesterday, we bought some wild salmon at Earth Fare so we made that. I love salmon so much. I lived in Alaska for a summer and that was pretty much all I ate. It was Heaven. Anyways, we sauteed some asparagus and mashed up some red potatoes with non fat sour cream. (I married the perfect woman.) That whole plate was only 11.5 points with a glass of milk, it took 30 minutes to cook, and only cost us $4.00 a person. Yeah you read this right. If this meal wasn’t the best case for cooking at home vs. eating out, I don’t know what is. I mean, even look at the difference between lunch and dinner today! The burrito was $3.20 a person and wasn’t near as much food. Just saying…

Exercise: We are trying to do this stupid Jillian Micheals Last Chance Workout video six times a week and it might be the end of me. Personally, I hate it (I would much rather play racquetball or run) but it’s a great muscle workout which is what I’m starting to really need. Anyways, I got 9 exercise points out of it. Hooray.

Snack: The Trilogy: Megan made use strawberry-banana shakes with frozen yogurt/ice cream blend after working out and it was amazing. It was 5 points.

So overall today, I’ve downed 31.5 points which is fine with me. See ya tomorrow.
