Good morning!
Ahhh, it's FINALLY Friday! It's been such a long week. I've had two nights teaching and a night out for a jam session already, and last night I just konked out early. Wife and I were fast asleep at 7:15 PM. :)
I needed the sleep, though, and I got it. I slept 8½ hours and I feel great today.
I was hungry for EVERYTHING yesterday. I definitely ate more than I initially planned, but I made damn sure that I didn't go over RDI. I actually had like 100 calories left, so it's all good.
My only issue in that is that I had planned to have around 600 leftover calories. Meh.
There is no breakfast for me this morning. No coffee either. Not even water. It sucks.
I'm gonna have that "check-up" at the gym, have them weigh me and do the fat percentage and all. I'm curious as to how they measure me compared to what I did this morning. Until then, no anything, and no exercise.
I will spend an hour at work - leaving in a few minutes - before going to the gym. Then back to work to finish my work day. I'm gonna skip out a little early, use some of my comp time, and Wife and I will most likely go to Copenhagen this afternoon - just to do something different.
This of course means that we're gonna dine out, but I think I've got it all down.
My breakfast (after checkup and workout) will simply be two boiled eggs. They'll give me protein and fill me up reasonably.
Lunch will be a huge orange. Not too bad. I can easily live off it for some hours. The trick to this - to make it easier - is that I will have the breakfast MUCH later than usual. About 4 hours later. This means I probably won't need to eat lunch until at least noon or 1 pm, which is on the train. And again, this means that I should be able to go with that until dinner. No biggie.
Dinner will probably be a Turkish restaurant in Copenhagen. They have a lot of salads, chicken and also turkey, beef, lamb, potatoes, rice and pasta. But it's fairly easy to compose a plate of food that is NOT bad, and really tasty. I've been there before and have gone home stuffed with less than a 600 calorie dent in my RDI. That's what I'm aiming for again.
All it takes is focus. Right? :)
I'm down 100g today. Not much, but then again, I know I shouldn't expect ANYTHING after a 2½ kilo drop yesterday.
I do feel further change though. Last night - for the first time since the surgery - I woke up because it felt weird when my knees were rubbing against each other! I haven't had that feeling in quite a while, and even though it's a very annoying feeling, it's one I welcome back. It's like seeing the little flowers poking out when spring is coming - you just know you're heading in the right direction. Now, if only the numbers would be a little different....
Still, I know I'm getting there. I see changes in my hands, I feel changes in my face - especially when I shave, I can feel my bones more pronounced. And, not least, I can SEE that my body is a lot more toned compared to last time I was at this weight. No sixpack in sight or anything, but definitely heading in the right direction for a better physique.
Today, I'm thankful for:
- FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!
- A text message from my drummer - there is a new bass cabinet sitting in his living room. He'll bring it for practice Sunday.
- Going out with Wife today. We always have the BEST of times.
- Determination to stay within RDI on a day out!
- Morning Coffee. In about 2½ hours. :/
- Absolutely NO plans tomorrow.
Have an awesome weekend! Life is good!

As a little treat for those who actually read this to the end:
I found this on Youtube the other day. I could definitely relate - and laughed hard! I hope you will too. Have a great weekend!
