My daily meals consisted of:
1 nutritional shake for breakfast (basically a Slim Fast Wal mart rip off)
For a snack, I ate half of a protein bar (Power Bar)
For lunch, I ate some Campbell's chunky chicken, white and wild rice soup
For afternoon snack, I ate the other half of my Power Bar
and for Dinner I was probably bad, but I had a chicken taco salad from El Rio, but I had water to drink.
So..the total? Out of a preferred 1200 calorie diet for myself I reached 1239...so I only went over by 39 cals!
Although this may sound great, I did notice there are somethings still lacking...
Of course, the main thing is --I need to start on a rigid exercise program.
Besides that, I had several important nutrients I was very low on:
Fiber, Potassium, Carbs, Calcium, Iron, and Vitamins A and C.
I did, take a multivitamin supplement, so it should set me off a little better, but I will probably start focusing more on foods that have more of this to balance me out.
So..did I mention how awesome this site I go to is? Anyway, it provides a exercise program to go by and how to start off.
The keys is muscle confusion, and being gradual. Muscle confusion basically is constantly doing something different to change your routine after 4-6 weeks so that your body does not reach a plateau.
Also, my biggest mistake was always jumping straight into the program and trying to exercise like I already knew what I was doing..but then I would drop off after half-dying.
However, this includes only about 10 min of cardio and gradually upping the intensity until about 5-6 RPE..which is basically enough to get up to where you are sweating, and puffing just a little.
With that said, I am going to hit "Dance with Juliane Cardio Ballroom" dvd session and go from there!
I hope you are having a victorious night over food and closer to the you that you are happy with.
