Sigh.
Moving forward.
I've been working out. I've been making smarter choices (compared to previous choices/desires). I've been drinking more water. I know that muscle gain is a good thing, but I need to see the numbers on my scale go down. I need the numbers to change for my own sense of success.
I have the "my fitness pal" on my iphone that tracks my food and I can keep a food diary with calorie intake. I used this a while back... but I'm going to give it another go. It says I should eat about 1,200 calories on a non-workout day, and a bit more when I workout. I also bought one of these which will track the calories burned. So I started today:
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with pepper: 180 calories
Lunch: Peanut butter (1 tbs) and jelly (1 tbs) sandwhich with 1 cup of shredded wheat and a 5 calorie fuze drink: 490 calories
Dinner: 1 bean buritto from Taco Bell (no DH home tonight) and 1 cup of shredded wheat: 570 calories
Total calories for 4/14/10: 1,240 (40 over)
I guess I did pretty well. It took some planning, but I can handle it. Honestly, the calorie intake seem a little low, but if I see results - I can get used to being a bit more hungry than I have been in the past. I imagine the beginning will be harder as my stomach adjusts to not having so much food. I didn't workout today, but I have plans to attend a class on Thursday and Friday. I'll report back with how many calories I burned.
Just in case you don't already know: The fuze drinks are awesome. I love the fruit punch, slenderize. They're only 5 calories and much more exciting than water. Highly recomended!
