I feel Great! I had a really good workout this morning. I did 30 min on an elliptical cross trainer (heart rate between 120-137 level 13) and 15 min on a Stair Master. I varied the level one minute at a time from level 8 up to level 20 (Max of machine).
I am finding my happy place with healthy eating at work.
For breakfast I had 1 package of instant oatmeal, 3 egg whites and one yoke, a banana, and a Yoplait light yogurt for a total of 441 calories, 7 grams of fat, 73 grams of carbohydrates, and 23.6 grams of protein. I felt satisfied. I did not miss my Mountain Dew soda at all.
My morning snack was under 170 calories with raw carrots and a can of tuna with 1 table spoon of light mayo.
Lunch was a fresh made salad with some strawberries and blue berries topped with 8 oz of steak and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and a splash of orange juice. I had an apple as well. Grand total of lunch calories: 622.
I did 30 minutes on an exercise bike after work to keep me active since I skipped lifting at the gym with my buddy off work today.
I might get on the scale tomorrow to see if two days of eating better has had any impact on the numbers. I would think not eating until full and cutting out soda and potato chips might account for up to a 2 pound difference already. My plan is to do official weigh ins on Fridays and Mondays so I can see what my weekends are doing to my progress. It is winter here and cold weather does make the couch that much more cozy with my wife.
