20 days in and all is quiet on the western front. I am comfortably in the routine now. My body likes the way I am eating, and I feel better and this morning even a little smaller. We'll see if that holds on weigh in day tomorrow. I have agreed to purchase a mountain bike on Monday and will be meeting with the fella to pick it up. Just as a plug, I've been looking on Craigslist forever without any luck but just tried the new Let It Go app and found some really good deals there right in my area as well. Very cool. My plan once I have a bike, is to get out in the mornings before it heats up too much and bike as far as I can each day. I really need a low impact way to workout and get my heart pumping. This is going to be good for me. Got to keep this brief today but obviously weigh in is tomorrow so look for an extra post with my stats. I've done a good job this week of hitting my minimum numbers so I'm excited to see just what the results are. If they are not good I at least have a data point to work from. Once I start adding exercise that will change my plan entirely so I'm not going to jump to conclusions based on 1 week either. I feel like Sherlock Holmes, I need data! I again reiterate the absolute importance of tracking everything you eat. If you miss anything on the day it's not the end of the world, but the more data you have, the better you will be able to adjust the plan accordingly when things aren't going well, or you'll know what numbers give you the greatest success. Once I have the bike I'll also be tracking how long I've been biking and how many mornings. My goal is to go 6 days a week. We'll see if I can handle that right away or if I have to build up to it.
Day 20 meals:
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled, 2 pieces of bacon
Lunch - 6 oz Polish Kielbasa, 1 cup steamed cauliflower, dipping sauce
Dinner - 3 beef franks, 1/4 cup peperoncini peppers, 3.7 oz sharp cheddar
Snacks - AM - Atkins cookies and cream shake, PM - 2 mozzarella sticks
Total counts for day 20, 18.2g Carbs, 1605 Calories, 85g fat, 86g protein
My calories, fats and proteins were quite low this day. Not sure what that will do to my weight loss. I am again struggling to get all my numbers in. Seems like the hardest is calories. I had to eat some cheddar cheese to add in the calories I needed after supper. I just have Sunday to keep my numbers up before my weigh in. Then we'll see what these higher numbers have done. Even if I don't get the numbers I want I'm going to keep them at these levels for another week while I add exercise to my regime. Wish me luck!
