Today went okay. I ate a little more than I wanted, basically due to bad planning and letting myself get too hungry.
Food:
Breakfast: 1 scoop bev int'l vanilla, 1 cup milk, 1 cup frozen mixed berries
Midmorning: 1/2 cup cottage cheese w/raisins & nuts, 6 oz yogurt, orange - this was supposed to be the morning and afternoon snack, but I was really hungry
Lunch: 2 oz linguine w/1 cup meat and tomato sauce & 1 tlbs grated asiago cheese
Afternoon snack - salad greens w/homemade oil & vinegar dressing
When I came home from work I was starved and mad that my computer still didn't get delivered and I started munching. I ate: raisins, cheerios, baby carrots, 1 chocolate truffle
Dinner: roasted chicken w/potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, and olives

I went to the gym and tried out the interval and steady state workout in NROL4W.
3 min warmup @ 5.2
1 min 7.0, 2 min 5.5
1 min 7.0, 2 min 5.5
1 min 7.0, 2 min 5.5
1 min 7.0, 2 min 5.5
Then I got off the treadmill for 5 minutes, during which time I got bored and did some pull ups. I managed to almost get three in a row. I had my nose at bar level on the third. Yeah!!!
Then I got back on the treadmill for 25 minutes at 5.4.
I expect this magical fat burning workout protocol to make me thin by morning. Ha ha!
One thing I noticed, when you have basically quit doing any steady state cardio, it is really boring! Now doing it outside would be cool, but the treadmill ...
In 2003 I decided that the magic bullet for finally losing those last couple pounds was to run a 1/2 marathon. I trained for one that was in March, so I did a lot of it on the treadmill. I can't even think how I could stand to run on the treadmill for two hours back then!
Now I am going to soak my sweaty self in the tub.
