So, myfitnesspal.com tells me that in order to lose 1.5lbs every week, I need to take in a net of 1420 calories. It's been a pretty good day for me! Here's what that looked like today.
Breakfast:
-1 smoothie with 1/2 c skim milk, 1/2 c 0% greek yogurt, 1 c frozen fruit, 1 tbsp chia seeds.
Lunch:
-1 cup of tomato soup, 1 c cucumber salad, 1/2 a turkey sandwich, & ACCIDENTAL SWEET TEA (16oz) (honestly thought I got unsweet)
Dinner:
-1 cup pasta salad, 1/2 c grape tomatoes, 1 mozzarella cheese stick, 1/4 avocado
Dessert: 1 weight watchers chocolate bar
That's a total of 1161 calories for the day. That leaves me with plenty of calories for the beer I plan on drinking later tonight. :)
Also, today was day 2 of my JM 30 Day Shred. Honestly, it was really hard to convince myself to do it again today. Deep, deep muscles hurt today. I also managed to slip on a wet floor at work and twist my ankle, so that was a pretty good excuse to wimp out. BUT....I did it. I really wanted to eat my dinner so I told myself to go ahead and get the work out done.
It was such a better call. Working out on NOT a full stomach and with the right clothes on made me able to focus on pushing through that burn in my muscles. When I ate my dinner afterwards, I felt like it was fuel. It wasn't fulfilling some crazy emotional need, it was fuel for my body, pure and simple.
I haven't figured out how to accurately track the 30DS on myfitnesspal, so I put it under "vigorous calisthenics" for 20 minutes. That was calculated as 240 calories out.
That means that I could have almost 500 more calories today and still be on target!
Tomorrow I work a 12 so it will be very challenging to commit to a work out afterwards. Send good vibes my way!
