Today had some nice surprises related to the diet, plus a combination of cheating on the diet and extra exercise to make up for it. First the surprises. I had a couple doctor's appointments today including my first physical in a year and a half. The doctor was very happy to see me down 40 pounds from my last physical (apparently I was a little lighter then, than I was back on October 20). My blood pressure was a little elevated, particularly at the start of the appointment, but the later numbers put it in the higher end of normal. Blood work was done, but I don't have the results. All in all I'm healthier than I was at my last physical.
The big surprise came when I hit the store to grab a couple new pieces of clothing. I decided to try on some new pants and found that the 40 waist I had thought might still be too small was actually too big. My new pants are actually a 38. I doubt I've been in the 30's since college, possibly high school. Makes the 46's that I have in my closet look gigantic. I also grabbed a button down shirt that was only XL but actually fit ideally. No idea if it'll still fit well after a trip in the wash but it's an XL rather than 2XL.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), some peanut butter as a snack during the day (100 calories), dinner was a trip to 5 guys for a cheeseburger and large fry (2400 calories). I'd promised myself the trip after my physical. Since I knew I was going there I got in some extra exercise today as well to help work it off. One hour on the treadmill (829 calories) and kickboxing class (500 calories).
