Progress report after my first work-week on the weight loss project! I have been good at planning meals and following my diet, incorporating whole foods and lots of lean protein and fiber, drinking water instead of soda/coffee (mostly), and aiming for <1600 calories a day. I also did a few cardio workouts and a strength training workout and have more planned for after work today.
I have been weighing myself first thing in the morning and first thing after work each day and averaging them out to try and account for fluctuations, and so far this week I am down approximately 4 pounds since Monday morning!
An example of my eating (from today):
Breakfast - 1 slice whole grain toast, 8 oz nonfat mocha
Snack - 1/2 cup oatmeal w/1 tsp brown sugar
Lunch - Lean Cuisine, 1/2 cup broccoli cheddar soup
Snack - Apple, Luna Bar
Workout - 3 mile run, 30 minutes abs/arms
Snack - Banana/strawberry smoothie w/nonfat Greek yogurt and protein powder
Dinner - Baked chicken and potatoes w/veggies
That should add up to around 1500-1600 calories of filling deliciousness!
Now to see how well I can keep it up over the 4th of July long weekend... Wish me luck!
