So to counter that, I've gotten considerably more aware of portion control (did some last month, more this month) and making better choices for food. My family sent me to pick up food at Portillo's on Sunday night, and I got a caesar salad (only used half the dressing) instead of an italian beef sandwich + a piece of cake. I had heard the salads were good there, but the beef is awesome and I've never deviated from that as my order there over the past 10 years.

Down to 181.8 this morning, which is down 2.3 pounds. I would be thrilled to get down under 180 by the end of this month, but even if I keep it here it would be a pretty good month considering the loss of exercise time earlier in the month. I don't think I'm out of the woods with this injury just yet (feels pretty good without shoes, not so good with shoes) but I need to get back to exercising so will push it a bit tomorrow.

way to go hoops!!

Yeah - portion control is the #1 thing.
