Day 11 - Not the best food day

So it wasn’t the best day for dieting.  I started off strong with my oatmeal and coffee, but then came lunch.  My wife and I had plans to meet up for lunch today but we were struggling to find a restaurant somewhere in the middle.  Finally we decided on Chili’s.  I didn’t think Chili’s was a bad choice because last time I was there I remember this whole section of the menu of “guiltless grill” choices.  See, I can eat healthy when I go out to eat.  Well their menu has changed.  Besides a few salads, there weren’t a lot of choices.  So…I ordered a steak.  I know, steak isn’t on most diet plans but at least I ordered it with brown rice and broccoli for sides.  I should have ordered a salad but I haven’t been able to jump that hurdle yet.  But I’ve felt bad about my lunch all day today.

Breakfast
Oatmeal
2 cups of coffee with 2 tablespoons of creamer

Lunch
8oz sirloin steak
Brown rice
Broccoli

Dinner
French dip sandwich
Ice tea

Surprisingly, even with what I thought was bad eating on my part today, I still stayed at about 1500 calories.  Wow!  I thought I really blew it today.  No matter what the numbers added up to, I still feel bad about my choices today and I will do better tomorrow.

As for activity today, according to my training schedule today was supposed to be a rest day or cross training.  It was such a beautiful day today there was no way I was just going to just rest.  I went and picked up my little girl from daycare and we rushed home to go on a bike ride.  I hooked up her trailer and we went for a ride down the Cherry Creek trail.  It was great!

Activity
5 mile bike ride
1.5 mile walking
Yoga later tonight.

Up early again tomorrow morning for some running.  See you out on the road!
