Day 134

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).

Today's Results:
Daily Food Total:  2800

Points Earned:  1529
Total Points Earned:  178227
