Hips: 59.5
So, I've lost a total of 5.8 lbs and 2 inches. I feel good, don't feel deprived. I'm eating an average of 1500 calories a day, sometimes under, sometimes over. It really depends on my protien intake. Of course the meals with higher protien keep me full longer. Not to be too informal, but my period also started this week, and to be honest, that usually comes with about a 3 to 5 lbs weight gain, so I must be doing something right. I'm not keeping track of fat, carbs, and protien, just staying in the calorie range with foods that keep me full, which kinda force me to eat healthier. The nice thing with just watching calories is that I can go out and eat with friends. I also made a taco salad, using fat free sour cream and salsa for my salad dressing, and instead of meats, I used a low fat chili and baked tortilla chips with reduced fat cheese in the salad with tomatoes, cucumber and onions. I can't even begin to tell you how filling this salad is and I got it out of a Hungry Girl recipe book. I ate out 3 times this week. I was scared, but Wendy's has a Grilled chicken breast sandwich that really filled me up and under 400 calories. I went to a coney island and got a chicken finger salad, and got a small one, and had their low calorie greek dressing....and then, I went out with another friend and had a steak dinner. The coney island I went to is Leo's and actually bought a bottle of their lo-cal greek dressing, it's only 30 calories a serving, but you would never know it's lo-cal by the taste of it. It doesn't have that fake taste like a lot of fat free italian dressings have. I worked out 4 days out of 7. I own my own elliptical machine, and started at 5 minutes here and there,,,,then yesterday, I got up to 40without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I kept getting on that machine through the days to build it up to do all that at once. So persistence pays off, but don't do more than your body is willing to. If you cannot do 5 minutes, don't, but get back on it another time that day, and do what you can. All of a sudden, I passed the 5 minute mark, and caught a second wind and could breathe. It's just your body adapting to change. It always feels like it resists change at first...and it sucks because it makes me want to stop, but I'm happy I didn't. Well, that's my first weekly update.
