I am really getting into being able to handle my meals, and at first I thought it was going to be pretty restrictive, but it is actually the same, just being more aware of what I eat and how much.
I actually don't really get that hungry during the day, and when I do, I eat a snack that is normally just light. Because of that, I am able to have some more lenience for my dinner.
Here is what I had:
1 nutritional shake (breakfast)
1 Banana (snack)
1 sandwich with chunked chicken and a fruit cup of mandarin oranges, Coke Zero (lunch)
1/2 Powerbar (snack)
Cheesy Crockpot Chicken over rice and broccoli and cheese and Crystal light (dinner)
1 Yoplait Light Fat Free Blueberry yogurt (snack)
If you haven't invested in finding a good site to plan your meals, I would highly recommend mealsmatter.org
It isn't necessarily focused on healthy eating, but it provides recipes, a calendar that you can pick meals and plan each day out- then transfer the ingredients onto a shopping cart so you know what to get for grocery shopping. It also has a section for healthy recipes, and other categories like quick meals under 30 min..etc.
This will save you alot of time, stress and money when planning for meals. I definately plan on using it to my best advantage for my future low-cal meals.
Anyway, my net calorie count for the end of today was 1,072- a little better than yesterday and today I am not exercising since it is highly recommended to work out about 2-3 days in a row then give your self a days worth of rest in between.
Tomorrow, I will be continuing, and my goals for this week are to do 3 cardio work-outs that are 20 min long, and 2 strength training work-outs. So far, I have managed to work up to 15 min workouts- yesterday I did 1- 15 min cardio and 1-10 min exercise bike session. My next goal for tomorrow is to start on the treadmill and follow my 12 week program.
If you would like to follow a program that pretty much works as a trainer for you- check this out, it is pretty specific:
12 week exercise plan
Well, I am going to enjoy the rest of my night, I am pretty pooped from walking at LEAST 3 miles across campus today, Auburn is huge..especially when you have to run like a hampster on a non-stop wheel all over the place.
NIght!
