What's old is new again

I decided to pick up a container of Fairlife milk yesterday. Tonight, I finished my workout early by recent standards, and decided to take the fam out vs eating at home. I knew that, ideally, I needed to ingest some protein right away, so I dug out my container of protein powder from storage and made a shake with my new milk, a bit of powdered cocoa and some honey.

First protein shake since I've been on this diet.

For dinner, I went to a Chinese buffet and made a carryout plate filled with rice, lots of veggies, and a few types of chicken.

Maybe the first time ever that my plate cost the minimum and didn't have a surcharge due to its heft. Also likely the first time I didn't get an egg roll, fried spring roll, or crab rangoon.

Even better, I only ate half of it. It is a completely different experience than so many times in the past, to the point where it feels a bit surreal.

I started my recent health kick not long after getting Chinese takeout; I remember eating just some of of my plate and portioning the rest into leftover containers. 

This feels like the completion of a circle in a way, though the actual journey itself is just getting underway.

Well see how tonight's choices treat me tomorrow.
