191.0lbs

As of Monday morning I've dropped 2.3lbs. I'm headed in the right direction. On Sunday I weighed in at 190.3lbs, but that was after a five mile run so most of that was water weight I had sweat out.

It's all a matter of making the choices, especially when it comes to meal time. I could choose to eat a burger or I could choose to eat some vegetable sushi. Both are filling and very tasty. One has lots of calories and fat. The other has significantly fewer calories and lots of nutrition.

Recently my workout routine hasn't been as consistent as it should be so the only other thing I can do is control my diet. One of the podcasts I listen to makes a good point:

Loose the diet drama. Anytime you are eating you are 'on' a diet. If you pig out on one meal, no big deal. You only have to wait until your next meal to get back on your diet. Its that easy.

Right now breakfast and lunch are easy. Breakfast generally consists of oatmeal and some fruit. Lunch is a little more difficult depending on if I go out with co-workers or work out. Dinner is the most difficult meal. I'm going to try and concentrate my efforts on doing better for dinner in the weeks to come.
