Well I hit my short term fat loss goal 1 day before expected.  Woo Hoo!  I first I thought the home scale was toying with my emotions again but I double checked it at the gym and lo and behold target reached! physically I can’t see a difference yet but as long as the weight keeps coming off I’m happy.

Now I just have to get into a weight lifting groove.  Although I have been working out regularly I still don’t feel that I am pushing myself as hard as I can.  Cardio is a different story, I’m a puddle when I get done running.

Sushi, I loooove sushi.  I made the decision that it is going to be my cheat meal for the week.  Of course it has to be the sushi buffet. (Why limit myself right?)  I’m standing in line with my plate when this "little bit of a thing" and I start talking.  She obviously worked out and had to weigh at most 105 lbs soaking wet.   SHe also mentioned that this was her cheat meal and she was glad that she had already working out in the morning.  

I have never in my life seen someone so little eat so much sushi in my life.  I lived in Okinawa on 3 different occasions and was a fixture at Sushi-Go-Round every weekend too.  I am still trying to figure out where she put all that food. 

Other than that the weekend was pretty clean as far as diet.  I didn’t stick to the 6 meals a day and the water consumption was off but no weight gain either. 

Can anyone recommend a really tasty low carb protein?  I’ve tried several different types over the years but am looking for something that actually tastes good when mixed with water.

There was an interesting "Brown-Bag" lecture session today at work.  (As a side note, lunch was greasy mexican food which I did not partake in.)  The lecture ended with the speaker asking if this was something we were passionate it about or just a job.  As I reflected I realized that there were very few things in my life that I have ever been passionate about. 

The gym at one time was a great passion but somehow over time it was relegated to "job status" and then finally to "awww forget it, who cares anyway".   I miss the feeling of enjoying going to the gym.  Over the past few weeks I have felt that spark slowing igniting again.  There’s been a slight set-back with losing a prospective lifting partner but the spark is still there.

The question remains though, am I going to let that spark perish or am I going to fan it until it becomes a raging inferno?

Does anyone have any gasoline?????????? 

Cookies and trying to eat clean do not go well together.  Mr. Chocolate Chip why do you tempt and torment me so?
