After some fun calculations, I learned that I have to aim for 2,286 calories per day to lose weight - so long as I keep up the exercise. If I skip a day, my calories drop to 1798 per day.
Karen suggested eating the same thing each day for two weeks. I'll give it a shot for weeks 1 and 2.
3 cups of black coffee per day - UPDATE: Black coffee turned into coffee with a TBS of cream.
Breakfast: 1/4 cup of egg whites, 1/2 grapefruit, 12 raw almonds - I had this breakfast a few times, I also made an egg sandwich out of Ezekiel bread, a little cheese and a smidge of ketchup.
Snack: Cliff bar - I had a few types of protein bars this week.
Lunch: 1 can tuna, 2 cups of salad, a few sprays of salad dressing. I only had this meal a couple of times as well. In fact I stopped eating salad all together as the week progressed. I know it's stress that causes me to want something different than salad. Mark often says he craves salad. I think he's full of malarky.
Dinner: 1 serving of lentil soup, 1 slice of Ezekial bread, 1 Tsp of peanut butter, 2 cups of salad with lemon wedge. - I only had this once as well. Most of my dinners included chicken, salad, or a protein shake.
Post-workout meal: Protein smoothie with almond milk. - I had a post-workout shake several times, as well as a few other meal substitutions.
Snack: granny smith apple
Water: 120 ounces of water per day. Week 1 was fine, but as Week 2 progressed, my intake of water also decreased. Again, old habits and behaviors under stress reared their ugly head this week.
Daily multi-vitamin. - Again, I was great for Week 1 and not for Week 2
I'm also going alcohol free for the first two weeks. - I slipped once and indulged.
