Today I got in some exercise and ate pretty well. I was very pleased with the day over all.
I got up and had breakfast as usual. I had my coffee, juice and oatmeal.
For lunch I had a can of beef and country vegetable soup, a yoghurt and a granola bar. It was surprisingly filling.
After work I headed to school for my class. Getting off at 4 lets me get to school with plenty of time to spare. So as soon as I got thee i started walking the halls at a brisk pace. I kept it up for a little over twenty minutes with out stopping. I was pretty proud of my self. After I got done walking headed to the computer lab and had an epiphany with an assignment I had been working on. I had been doing a for loop while trying to find the differences in two lists. It had worked but I had to do two for loops to get the correct results. I finally figured out to use a Do Until loop and I could do all the processing in one loop instead two. I was pretty happy with the results. Take that computer I win again! LOL
After class I stopped and grabbed some temperature Tuesday Runza deals on my way home. They also had cauliflower cheese soup today so I got a bowl of that for my self as well. It was all really good and stuck with my routine of not large sizing my meal. I am getting back to the no need for large sizing my fast food meals. I mean a non-large sized fast food meal is bad enough for me.

January 23rd
Today was a OK day for eating but no exercise. Today was the first day of our 100 day fitness challenge through my wife's work so I need to start getting moving.
When I got up I had some coffee, juice and a bowl of oatmeal. I think that my eating breakfast might have helped with my weight loss last week. I remember reading one time that eating breakfast will get your metabolism going earlier then if you don't eat breakfast. So I am going to try and keep this breakfast thing up.
For lunch I had a hot pocket, a yoghurt and a granola bar. You know, the usual fair.
For supper we made another batch of cinnamon rolls and had the rest of the Chilli from Saturday night. I had two bowls of chilli and four cinnamon rolls. I probably should not have had four cinnamon rolls but they were just so darn tasty with the chilli.

January 22nd
I got up and finished preping the house for our open house were having later in the day. After I got done with that we loaded the cat up and headed out to my Mom and Dads for lunch. We had some home-made chicken noodle soup my Dad had made. It was very good. We also had some carrots and a veggie pizza my Mom had made. After lunch we sorted through a few boxes of stuff we had out Mom and Dads and chatted with them until it was time to head home. When we got home we caught up on some more TV and had some supper. I had a mini frozen pizza and two frozen cheese mashed potatoes. Then after supper I also had a bag of popcorn while we watched TV.
January 22nd Weigh In
weighed myself this morning and I lost three pounds from last week. I am now down to 318lbs. I am not sure how I did that but hey I will take it. I did shave my beard off this weekend but I don't think that weighed three pounds. LOL
Review of Friends With Benefits
This movie was a cute, fun, predictable Rom-Com. What made it good was the chemistry on screen between Justin Timerlake and Mila Kunis. That is really where is Romantic Comedy is made or broke. The movie No Strings Attached earlier this year was basically the same story line but Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman never clicked for me and I didn't really care about what happened to them and that brought the whole movie down. In this movie Justin and Mila made me stop thinking of them as Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and start caring about Jamie and Dylan.
The other thing that really brought this movie up a level were the small cameo/supporting characters in the movie. Opening up with Emma Stone and Andy Samberg as the two main characters boyfriend and girlfriend breaking up with them was great. Then you have Jason Segal and Rashida Jones(Of The Office and Parks and Rec Fame) play the main characters in a terrible Romantic movie the main charters watch and refer to through to the movie. Richard Jenkins as Dylan's Dad with Alzheimer's really added another level to Dylan that made you feel for him and care for him. Lastly Woody Harrelson really stole the scene when ever he was on screen as the gay sports editor for GQ. He also had the best line of the entire movie that really summed life and love, "It's not who spend Friday night with, it's who you want to spend all day Saturday with." I thought how appropriate that was as I laid on the couch with my wife on a Saturday night watching this movie.
All in all this movie isn't going to win any awards but it is a solid little movie with some good acting and great on screen chemistry. If you like Romantic Comedies like me this should go up near the top of your Netflix cue.
I give it 3 out of 4 stars!

January 21st
Today was a good day for food, I did some cleaning exercise again but over all it was just a great day!
I got up around 9 and had a few pieces of toast with some cinnamon butter. We bought the cinnamon butter awhile back and this was the first time I had used it. it was really good and I look forward to using it again. I had a glass of juice and watched some TV while I ate my toast.
After breakfast I did some cleaning for the open house. I cleaned both bathroom counters, and toilets. The bulk of my work was cleaning the shower in our master bathroom. I had cleaned a few months back but it needed another good cleaning. That took me a little while to do but it looked really nice.
After I got done cleaning I started making supper. I had laid out some hamburger earlier that was thawed out now so I started browning it in the microwave while I added all the other components to the pot for chili. I got everything put together and started simmering it on the stove at about 11:45.
For lunch we made sandwiches. I toasted my bread and had some mustard, mayo, roast beef and cheese on my sandwich. I also had some Buffalo Ranch Doritios with my sandwich.
Then we settled in and spent the rest of the day doing laundry, tending to the simmering chili and getting caught up on TV from our full DVR. I had a sleeve of Oreos during the day with a glass of milk but that was it. We got caught up on Top Chef, 90210, Once Upon A Time and Chuck.
We started watching the last episode of chuck we had at about 6:45 and we had supper while we watched it. The chili had been simmering for about 7 hours and about 6:15 I had put some cinnamon rolls in the oven. I had two bowls of chili and 5 cinnamon rolls. I know that was to many cinnamon rolls but they were just so good and went so well with the chili on a cold night. That really filled me up so I didn't have anymore to eat while we watched our Netflix movie Friends With benefits staring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The review for that is coming up next.
Over all it was an OK day for eating and exersie but as I said before it was a great over all day spending time with my wonderful wife!

January 20th
Today was an OK day eating and I some of that cleaning exercise I talked about a few weeks back.
Standerd morning with juice, oatmeal and a cup of coffee. I had second cup of coffee on the way to work then. When I got to work I forgot my coffee cup in the car so that was my last coffee of the day.
Mid morning my boss had brought in some doughnuts day so I was a bad boy and had a raspberry filled doughnut and an apple fritter. I should have only had one, or had a bagle that she brought in but I had not seen a doughnut in awhile and I caved. Then around 11 they Fitness Friday down in the break room. This is where they come in and have some snacks and talk about a healthy topic. This months topic was water and hydration. They had some of these flavor packs and bottles of water you could put them in along with some oranges. I took a bottle of water and used the orange flavor pack and grabbed some orange slices. The orange slices were really good and juice. The flavor packets were so so. They made the water taste like watered down Kool-Aid and really made me crave some real Kool-Aid.
At lunch I had a ham and cheese hot pocket, a yoghurt, a string cheese and a snickers I had picked up at Wal-Greens the night before.
I got a text from our relator this morning that someone wanted to come look at our house at 7 tonight so when I got home I spent a little over an hour cleaning the house. I cleaned the kitchen dusted all the fans in the house. I dusted the entire house, I took out the trash, I cleaned up the laundry room, I cleaned cob webs off the ceiling and I cleaned the cats litter pan. It was a lot of work and I am going to count it as exercise.
After Sara got home I loaded the cat up and we left about 6:45 to let the people look at the house. We needed to make a run to Wal-Greens because they forgot to give me some drugs when I picked them up earlier in the week. Well they guy I need to talk to wasn't there so I get to make another stop there on Monday after work. While I was in there I grabbed a bottle of milk for me, a pop for my wife and some snickers for us since we were hungry and had to wait until after the showing to make supper. After we got done at Wal-Greens we drove over to the school across the street from our house and sat in the parking lot until about 8 then headed back home. The lights that we had left on when we left were off so we knew they had been there.
For supper we made Philly Cheese steaks. or at least a close facsimile. I cooked some thin steaks in a frying pan on the stove, I know that is not the healthiest way to cook steaks but it was ten degrees out side so I was not going to cook them on the grill. Then I threw in a chopped onion and some mushrooms with them. When the steaks were cooked I cut them in to thin strips and then miked back in with mushroom and onions. Next I used the mixture to make my self two phillys on hoggie buns we had bought. I also put some cheese and BBQ sauce on the phillys. I finished off the bad of Garden Salsa Sun Chips from the other night with my phillys.
Then we headed to bed around 10 and watched the 2011 World's Strongest Man finals we had recorded. We very excited to see the end and American Brian Shaw pulled out the win. Way to go USA!
