So I had the day off today, which was nice. I definitely like having 3-day weekends, even when I can't use the weekday off to overeat at the all-you-can-eat Pizza Hut lunch buffet (always a favorite back when my weight was in the high 200's). Spent some time with friends but I was proud of myself for both having a reasonably healthy lunch with them (though Subway's free cookie today for President's day was a little evil), and also going out to the gym after finally getting home. Two things that would have been very easy to say, "It's too late to go to the gym," and "I was planning an unhealthy meal today anyway, let me stop somewhere on the way home." I did say both of them, but I managed to avoid doing either of those things.
Also on the plus side, it's pretty obvious that my running fitness is coming back pretty well. I don't quite have the speed back yet, but at the end of 50 minutes on the treadmill I was still doing pretty well and could probably have gone a longer distance. Once I get back up to an hour in time I'll start training on speed again. I think I still have a pretty good chance for a half-marathon in April.
Food today: egg and cheese for breakfast again (300 calories), lunch was a 6-inch meatball sub from subway with a bag of chips (750 calories), snack was a chocolate chip cookie (150 calories), and dinner was salmon, whole-wheat noodles and green beans (900 calories). Exercise was 50 minutes on the treadmill (741 calories).
