I am approaching my weigh in on Monday and can't wait to see if my numbers have moved. I feel like they have, but only the scale and my tape will tell. I will say that I am living a much more active lifestyle already. As mentioned in previous posts I have taken to bike riding this week, although I only went twice instead of my goal of 3 times, but it is a start. On day 27 I was out there swimming though which is good exercise even if I'm not doing laps.
I ate out yesterday for the 2nd time since starting. It was a little drive-in style hole in the wall with what looked like great fries. Of course I didn't indulge. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce and a house salad. It was excellent and on plan. I again struggled with eating enough carbs although for some reason my calories were a little high for the day. I'm not going to freak out about calories 1 day out of the week. Especially when they weren't that high. I did a search on calorie maintenance and found that in order to maintain my beginning weight I was eating about 3,500 calories a day. I am now at about half of that along with cutting out the carbs. Other than that not much to add today. Just keep on rockin and rollin.
Day 27 meals:
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled, 2 pieces of bacon, 1 low carb brownie
Lunch - Bacon cheeseburger lettuce wrapped, tomato, pickle, mayo, salad w/ranch dressing
Dinner - 2 bratwurst, 1/4 cup peperoncini peppers, 4 dill pickles
Snacks - AM - Atkins cookie & Cream shake, PM - 1 1/2 beef sticks, 1 brownie,
Total counts for day 27, 23.2g Carbs, 2,251 Calories, 150g fat, 109g protein
As I mentioned above a little high on calories but right there with carbs and good activity for the day with swimming so I know I burned calories there anyway.
