Today I slept in and din;t eat any breakfast. Over all it was a fun day but not the best health wise. We were suppose to have some friends over today but their daughter was sick so we postponed it until next week. So instead we spent the day being lazy, witch is always nice.
I pretty much spent from nine until 6 playing Batman: Arkham City on my Xbox. I got the main story finished for Batman and for Catwoman and beat some of the side missions. Now I have to decide if I want to continue and beat all the side missions or not. If I do I am looking at probably another twenty or thirty hours playing this game. Or I can movie on to another game. I have not made decision yet but it might be a week or two before I play video games again so I have some time to think.
I did take a brief break to eat some lunch with my wife. I had the last bowl of chicken noodle casserole while we watched an episode of Storage Wars we had on DVR.
Finally around 6 we decided we should eat some supper. Since our friends were coming over next week now we decided to save all of the food we had for tonight until next week. So we mulled over our options and decided to go out to eat. We narrowed it down to a few places but Taco Bell won out because it was cheap and we didn't have to change out of our around the house shirts and pajama pants we had one. I had 5 tacos and a cheesy gordita crunch. I t all tasted pretty good but I had also ordered a Beefy Crunchy Burrito that they for got to give us.
After we got done eating and watching an episode of 90210 we put in a movie to keep our Saturday Night Movie streak at four. We watched Crazy, Stupid Love. It was a really fun and cute movie.So I was still a little hungry after we ate so I had a larger then necessary bowl of ice cream during the movie. I know I have said it before but ice cream is like my kryptonite. I have such a problem eating it in proper portions. It is for sure something I can work for the future.

January 27th
Today I worked 9-6 today so my routine was a little off this morning and I missed breakfast. I did get my cup of coffee I though.
For lunch I had to run some errands so I grabbed some food on my way back to work. A few co-workers had been talking about Chinese food and I was really craving it. So another coworker pointed out that there was a Chinese place in a little strip mall by where I was heading. I had seen the place before and it seemed a little sketchy but she said she knew some people who had eaten there and it wasn't to bad. As I headed out to lunch I still wasn't sure where I was going to eat but in the end the pull of the chines won and I went there. It was called The Magic Wok and the magic is that I didn't die. There were just two old Chinese dudes in there and no customers. On of then was surfing the internet on a computer in the corner of the dining room. I almost left but though i would give it a chance. I ordered their Sesame Chicken dinner, I didn't even know what that included but i was fairly sure it was $6.95. I was wrong it was only $5.95 so right off the bat I was thinking that if this place was good I would be coming back. So i got the food and headed back to work. The meal included sesame chicken that was pretty good. Fried rice that was very good and a crab ragoon that didn't have much in it but was ok. Then I sat back and waited to see if I died of food poisoning. Since I didn't die of food poising and the food was pretty good and cheap I will be going back I think.
I didn't get off work until 6 witch really sucked but my wife had run up to her parents that afternoon for a appointment so she wouldn't be home until later. So I headed home and got a few things done I needed to do. I got all my mileage copied down to paper from my phone and scanned it and sent it in to my case worker for my school grant so I can get reimbursed for the mileage. While I did that I was fielding text messages from our friend that was suppose to be coming over tomorrow about his sick daughter. I also took a long call from my in-laws because they broke their TV and couldn't get it to work. Finally I got my mileage in and my wife got home. She had eaten supper with her parents but I had not yet. So we settled in to watch the series finally of Chuck we had been DVRing and I had two left over bowls of the chicken noodle casserole from last night. I was pretty proud of my self because that was all I had the rest of the night.
So Over all I didn't over eat to much, the Chinese probably wasn't the healthiest meal but hey it didn't kill me. LOL I did not end up getting any exercise in but I am hoping for a really good exercise week next week.

January 26th
Today was pretty good for food and exercise. I haven;t said that since I started blogging again so I am happy!
The one disappointment of the day was the morning. I had to get a few things done around the house before I left this morning so I ran out of time to eat breakfast. So I just took my pills with some water and had a coffee on the way to work. Then at about 11 I was starving so I went down and got some Pop Tarts out of the vending machine and ate those. Probably not the best morning of eating but still not bad.
Since I had had Pop Tarts at eleven thirty I was not overly hungry at lunch. I had my frozen dinner, Santa Fe Rice and Beans, with some Doritos.
When I got to school I went on a 25 minuet walk around the school halls. I really got my heart rate going walking at a brisk pace. I also went up and down a few flights of steps. Over all it was a pretty good exercise experience and I felt better, and a little warmer, when I was done.
Then I hit the computer lab and finished up my horse race program that was do tonight. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. I wish I would have had a little more knowledge when I started it because I would have done things a little different but by the time I thought of a better way to do thinks I was already waist deep in the program so I just made it work.
After class I came home and my wife had made us chicken and noodle casserole for supper. It was really good and I had was really hungry so I had two bowls of it. But on the bright side I didn't have anything else the rest of the night while we watched TV.

Good day for food and I am going to count my running around stores after work as exercise.
Got up and had my coffee, juice and oatmeal per my new routine this morning.
For lunch I had a can of potatoes ham chowder, a yoghurt and a granola bar. I have come to realize that these cans of soup are very filling. I think I am going to start splitting them into two containers and having a can last for two days.
I got a text that someone wanted to look at our house after lunch so after work I headed home instead of doing some errands I had planned on doing on the way home. I tided the house up a little bit and loaded the kitty up in her carrier. I dropped the kitty off in my sister basement bathroom and headed out to run my errands. Since we had to be out of the house for awhile my wife and I decided I would run my errands and then we would meet at Wal-Mart and get groceries for next week.
First I went to Menards to return a water filter for our fridge. I had bought the wrong one when we had been at Menards a few weeks before. After I did the return a ran to the back of the store and grabbed the correct filter then checked out and headed to my next destination.
Next I went to Bed Bath and Beyond. I had bought a coffee filter there before Christmas and it did not fit the coffee maker I had, plus I had gotten a new coffee maker since then as well. The took it back with no hassle and I hoped in the car to go to my next stop.
Next I stopped at Sam's Club to pick up some baby aspirin and regular aspirin that my wife and I take for medication. I also grabbed another box of granola bars because we were almost out. After checking out there I headed to my final destination.
My last stop was Wal-Mart to meet my wife and get groceries. I was a little early so I went to look at some ting in the electronics. I had a Wal-Mart gift card that I had been hoping to use to buy an Amazon gift card but I found out after walking around the electronics for awhile that they no longer carried Amazon gift cards. I then spent some time looking through the games and eventually decided I would wait and use the gift card to buy the new Muppets movie when it cam out in march. About that time my wife called and let me know that she was at the store. We meet u pin the pet food area and then headed out to collect all the groceries we needed for the next week. When we had everything and we were ready to check out I left to go pick the cat up while she checked out and headed home. It timed out perfectly. I got home and took the cat in and then she got home right after me.
While I unloaded the groceries my wife started making supper for us. She made us turkey bacon and eggs and I also had four slices of toast with cinnamon butter. It was a very good meal.
After supper and a shower I had a bowl of ice cream while we watched some TV. I need to work on my portion control here. I had way to much ice cream.
In closing I am going to count all my running around in all the stores I went to tonight as exercise because I did a lot of walking even if it was not continues it is still better then nothing.

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.

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.

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.
