Day 5
Breakfast was a 1/2 order of Biscuits & gravy, hasbrowns, a small omelete, and coffee. For lunch we had Dingers signature jambalaya. As usual I also snacked on deer jerky and peanut clusters that afternoon. I ended up getting home late from deer hunting so i didnt have dinner.

Day 7
Breakfast was a granola bar and a cup of coffee. For lunch I had a salad and fruit from Hy-vee. After work I ran 5.0 miles on the treadmill. For dinner we ate spaghetti & meatballs.

Summary:
All in all probably not the best week. I only got a few workouts in. I did more walking on the weekend then I would normally do, so hopefully that off set some of the lack of exercise. My food choices were obviously poor all weekend. I hoping to have a good week this week as I have another weekend of birthday parties and deer hunting coming up.

Day 1
No Wednesday morning breakfast. I went and weighed by myself this week as John was busy. I lost 1.0 pounds. Hopefully that at least kept me on pace with John in our bet.

Dinner was baked chicken breast with white rice.

Day 3

Breakfast was a granola bar and a cup of coffee. Lunch was Campbells Healthy Request Light Maryland Style crab soup. This was actually a lot better then i anticipated it would be. It is also one of the healthier soups in this line, so I think I may be eating it more often. After work i ran 4.0 miles. For dinner we went out and ate at Sakura which is a japanese steakhouse. I believe this is probably fairly healthy place to dine out as all of the food is cooked directly in front of you. There is no deep frying or grease involved. We really enjoy eating there as there is a little entertainment included with dinner.

Day 4
For a late breakfast I had a bowl of frosted mini wheats. For dinner I ate an Original recipe chicken breast from KFC along with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Day 5
For breakfast i cooked my wife and mother-in-law pancakes and bacon. For lunch I had some salt & vinegar chips with salsa. For dinner I had take out chinese food for a local restaurant in Savannah.

Day 6
I ended up working overnight and then sleeping until afternoon today. I surprisingly wasnt hungry at all most of the day. I ran 6.0 miles on the treadmill late in the afternoon. For dinner my wife made some delicious potatoe soup. I did include some shredded cheese and bacon so it probably wasnt the most healthy meal, but it was literally all i ate all day.

Day 7
I again worked overnght and slept in. I got out of bed about 10:00am. I ate a Subway footlong ham sandwich for lunch, with no cheese and lowfat honey mustard. This afternoon I jumped on the treadmill intending to do a minimum of 5 miles. I ended up doing 8.0. I actually feel a lot better than I have in the past after running 8 miles. For dinner I made a ham steak with fried potatoes.

Summary
I picked up the pace quite a bit with the exercise this week. Last week I only logged 8 miles total and this week i put in 23.0 miles. I did have a few not so good meals, but all in all I think I had a pretty good week. I have 2 full weeks left in my weight loss wager (which will complete 12 week since i started the weight loss initiative).

Summary
I only ended up logging 8 miles this week which is far and away the worst week since I have started. I essentially made up a lot of excuses for not exercising this week. I was fairly busy, and one day I didnt feel really well. Nonetheless, im planning on really picking up the pace this next week. I also intend to do a better job of eating a little more healthy and updating this blog more regularly!
