Days 19 and 20

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

What's up guys? It's been awhile, and I apologize for that. The trip to Buffalo was action packed, so I had no time to blog. We had a fun time, got to see Niagara Falls, see my buddies Christian and Danielle tie the knot, and catch up with a few friends I haven't seen in awhile. Besides the 13 hours of driving, and waiting at the border both ways, it was a very enjoyable trip. The food choices were limited, I had a couple of Mexican Salads up there. At the wedding, I couldn't have any of the appetizers, and the only entree I could have was steak. Even then, I couldn't have the side dishes with it. The salad was good though, it had a little fruit and some nuts in it, so I just get to scrape off the cheese and dressing. Thank god I had my trail mix, because that saved me. We also went to a buffet one night, so I had a few options there, which was nice.

I have spoken about it before, but it's amazing how unhealthy everyday for is. When we were at the buffet, I did a quick walk around, and I was getting excited because I saw a lot of vegetables I could eat. Upon further inspection, most of them were caked in butter, so that ruled them out. They had some delicious Salmon and hand carved Pork, so that helped make it easier.

Before I get into my lineup, just an update on my progress. I have now lost another 16 pounds since I started the 30 Day Challenge and Crossfit. I now weigh as much as I did in HS, which is pretty exciting. I never dropped below 290 at Villanova, so it's nice to be back under that now. I am a firm believer in what I am currently doing, with the diet and exercise, so I plan on sticking to it. It has been working wonders for me, so I highly encourage anyone else to try it, it works!!!!!

Anyways, here is my lineup for the day:

Breakfast
4 Scrambled Eggs
2 Chicken Sausage and Apple Links
Fruit Salad with Strawberries and Blueberries

Snack
Skipped because of meetings

Lunch
Mexican Salad with Spinach, Chicken, Guacamole, and Salsa

Snack
Handful of Whole Foods Trail Mix

Dinner
Baked Pork Roast
Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms made in Olive Oil and Minced Garlic

I only have about 10 more days of the challenge, and my plan now is to take a week or 2 off, and then join my gym's 30 Day Challenge. It will be nice to have a few guys doing the challenge with me, although Megan is doing it by default since we eat a ton of meals together. I am trying to convince her to do Crossfit too, because I think she'll be good at it, but she isn't convinced yet.

Anyways, comment away on the blog. Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, but I am going to be back on the blog. No vacation planned, so I'll have time to blog as much as I can.
