Three more down

I came in at 221 Friday, so for those keeping score at home that's another three pounds gone, nineteen overall. To reward myself, I bought a shiny black 30 GB video iPod. I now have a separate playlist for cardio and lifting. I R N NERD. I previously had an iPod Shuffle which used to drive me crazy by playing the same ten songs over and over again. I have given it to Mr. LRA, who is mystified by anything computer-related but who is thoroughly delighted that he can now listen to Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix while watching CNBC at the gym.

Travel time is approaching at Chez LRA--next week we're going to Disney World for a family reunion (gah, Disney in August, what I do for family), then three weeks after that we're on our way to Seattle for a week, with two days in Vancouver during that time. We've also scored tickets for the Seattle Seahawks/Tampa Bay Buccaneers game since that's the opening weekend for the NFL (which are Holy Days of LRA Obligation). A few weeks ago I purchased a Seahawks jersey to wear to the game, a men's medium. When I tried it on, it was tight across my middle. Yesterday I was in my closet and glimpsed the jersey, and for the hell of it I tried it on ... and it's definitely loosened. Huzzah.

As far as eating goes, I'm going to try my best to stay on plan. As a rule we don't tend to eat a lot on vacation anyway. I don't think Seattle/Vancouver will be a problem, but Disney isn't exactly the most welcoming place for healthy eating. We did luck out that the big family dinner will be at the restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge so I can get some decent meat and veggies. I will have a hot dog from Casey's Corner in the Magic Kingdom though, as that is tradition and I do not fuck with tradition. Believe it or not on one of the Disney fansites someone posted an article about doing low-carb at the Mouse Hole, so I'll take a look at it.

I'm adding two days of cardio this week. Pray for me.
