Took the family to visit my parents and celebrate a belated Mother&#8217;s Day along with my wife&#8217;s birthday. We took a picnic to the local park and I managed to resist snacking on all the lovely picnic items. I took the Cheese Pizza Bites and that sustained me, until we decided to walk along the bike path for about 1.5 miles.<\/p>\n<p>I use an app on my android phone called <a title=\"Runkeeper for Android\" href=\"http:\/\/runkeeper.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\">Runkeeper<\/a>\u00a0which uses GPS along with google maps to plot your activity (walking, running, biking, canoeing, what have you) which showed about a 100 calorie burn during that time. \u00a0This is really the first time I&#8217;ve exercised more than my normal daily activity since I started on Medifast and I immediately noticed the hunger about an hour afterwards. \u00a0I had eaten my 2pm Medifast Meal and then we went for the walk, by 4pm I was starving and not going to make it to my Lean &amp; Green so I opted to take my 5th Medifast Meal which is\u00a0normally\u00a0around 8pm at 4pm. \u00a0This turned out well as we decided to eat out for my wife&#8217;s birthday at Red Lobster.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t get a seat until about 6pm but because I ate at 4 I was only slightly hungry. \u00a0It was hard to find something that fit the plan that I liked but I opted for salad along with grilled chicken, scallops and shrimp. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure I ate a bit more protein (maybe 8oz total) than I should have but it was a special occasion. \u00a0For dessert everyone had homemade ice cream and pecan pie at home. \u00a0The temptation proved too much and while I managed to avoid the ice cream I had to have a tiny sliver of pecan pie. \u00a0When I say tiny I mean it was pretty much a forkful but it was good enough to get the taste and craving behind me. \u00a0I know I&#8217;m going to have these small setbacks from time to time but when you are around family in a party atmosphere I felt giving in a little was better than going whole hog off the deep end.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we plan on canoeing and I&#8217;m going to bring a few extra crunch bars for energy if I need it. \u00a0Should be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well today was a fun filled day.
