Day 23

Despite my back being all messed up yesterday, it turned out to be a good day, at least with regards to my overall health.

It really is amazing what a stiff back can do to my psyche. Even though I have basically eaten just fine the past two days, I still felt like everything I have been working towards was totally derailed. I felt fatter than I ever have, but, after weighing myself earlier, things are just fine.

I still have a bit of stiffness, but I think that another day of popping Advil will result in my waking up tomorrow all better. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Even with a stiff back, I did manage to get in three long walks with the pup, though not a foot longer than was necessary to make this claim. And my eating was pretty much perfect. Shake, salad, soup, with just a handful of those Quaker Quakes, and a tangerine to boot.

So, the facts:

Day 22 food:

Shake (banana, blueberries, splash of OJ, strawberry yougurt, ice)
Water
Grilled chicken Caesar salad (about 3/4 order)
Water
Tangerine
Chunky chicken and rice gumbo (2 servings, full can)
Water
Sip of orange juice
Quaker Quakes rice cakes (about 1 serving)

Day 22 exercise: Three walks

Daily weight: 263 lbs. (down 24)


So that's it. Today should go according to the book as well. At least that's the plan right now.

Thanks for reading!
