WLW – Week #5

Starting Weight:  155 lbs
Today’s Weight:  146.2 lbs
Total Loss:  8.8 lbs

Diet
I have been sticking to 1200 calories a day.  I thought this week I would share an example of what a 1200 calorie day looks like for me:

Breakfast – 271 Calories
Key Lime Greek Yogurt with 1/3 Cup All Bran Buds mixed in.
½ Cup of Blueberries
2 Cups of Black Coffee

Lunch – 310 Calories
Flatbread Wrap with chicken breast lunchmeat, spinach and Italian dressing.
3 ounces of raw Baby Carrots with 2 Tablespoons of Hummus
1 Halos Mandarin Orange

Dinner – 619 Calories
Now Breakfast and Lunch are usually a lot of the same thing every day, occasionally its different.  But dinner is different every night, here are a couple of examples.  And I almost always have enough calories for some kind of dessert after.  I like having Hershey kisses around, you can count out a few just to have something a little sweet without going over your calorie allotment. 
438 Calories – Ham, Whole Grain Mac N Cheese, Broccoli
470 Calories – Raviolis, Sauce, Garlic Knots, Spinach with Ranch Dressing
478 Calories – Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Corn
600 Calories – 3 Slices of Pizza with Veggie Toppings
560 Calories – Wendys Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe with Value Fries
465 Calories – Stuffed Taco Shells with Sour Cream
520 Calories – Breakfast for Dinner – 3 Slices Turkey Bacon, 3 Eggs Scrambled, 2 Slices of Peanut Butter Toast

Exercise
Just more of the same pretty much.  Still doing the treadmill every other day.  I couldn’t find what I was looking for at any local stores so I ordered it online.  I got a set of kettlebells and two workout dvds.  So once those get here I am going to start doing those on the off days from the treadmill. 

Lifestyle
All of this is becoming much less of a chore and more just normal every day life to me.  I do get stressed out when I have to do something out of the ordinary.  Like last night I went out to dinner and drinks with some friends.  I get where I have no idea what I will have because its not like eating at home where I have total control.  But I just did my best and figure one night won’t wreck everything.  I just don’t want to make a habit of it where I have a bad night once a week or anything because that will wreck everything.
