Day 36 - Stalled




Stalled for the last couple days.  I know the next few weeks are littered with temptation - tailgating tomorrow, birthday dinner next week, out of town watching football next week on two different days, plus Thanksgiving is coming up.  If I want to make it to 20 pounds lost by December 1st I need to stay on the ball.  I planning on splurging in the food department at most of those events so I need to be doing well enough on all of my other meals to weather the storm.

Today's meals:
Breakfast:  Two spoonfuls of peanut butter (another idea from the Tim Ferris book for a quick snack)
Lunch:  Chobani greek yogurt, string cheese, some pistachios
Snack:  Two slices of cheddar cheese, White Label Mt Dew, about 10 Paqui Ghost Pepper chips (not the 1 chip challenge), these:    Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper Tortilla Chips 5.5 oz
Dinner: Chicken breast and a side salad with lots of veggies

Exercise:  Day 3 of the 100pushups.com challenge.  Today I did the following sets:
                                  11, 15, 9, 9, 13
It still sucks. I didn't make it through the last set of 13.  I just couldn't do it.  Prior to doing these pushups today I was looking on YouTube and found this video on how to do proper pushups.

If you do them correctly they are a pain in the ass..er shoulders.  Ultimately I couldn't finish the last set as doing them correct like was killin me.  I'm going to keep on trying them the "correct" way, but I may stay on Day 3 of the challenge for a while until I can get them down without issue.  Just like the weight loss stuff - gotta stay the course. 

Thirty-six days down.
