Monday August 24th

It is a beautiful day out today! I actually think that after typing this, I'm going to go out for a walk to the lake (a mile of hills)...woo hoo! Too bad I don't have an iPod to listen to, grrr...(I lost mine).

So here are my stats:

Week One:

Weight: 145.5
BMI: 24.28 (per Wii Fit)
Waist: 29.5 inches
Hips: 43.5 inches

Week Two:

Weight: 144.5 (it says I lost 1.1 lbs, hard to tell with the scale exactly how much I weigh as far as decimals are concerned)
BMI: 24.10
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 43 inches

So I highly doubt I lost that many inches in a week...though I could not find a single part of my waist or hips that was bigger than those numbers I came up with today and somehow I came up with the ones from last week...I'm wearing the same clothes too...maybe it is all the water I drank? Maybe I was just bloated last week? Who the heck knows.

So this week, I'm going to go back to sparkpeople.com and start counting calories! I think I'll still post what I'm eating on here and then at the end of each day, I'll update with the calories and all that fun stuff (or the next morning...)

Workout today: EA Active at medium intensity (I only noticed more reps on the weight training...still about the same amount of minutes and calories burned)

104.3 calories burned
23:58 minutes

2nd workout (yeah baby!): walked 1.22 miles (per www.geodistance.com) for 22.5 minutes. Not very fast, but holy heck, that last hill back up was horrid!

Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios with fat-free milk

Snack: YoPlus Vanilla yogurt with 1/4 C. Kashi Go Lean (I can't stand the cereal alone with milk, so someone suggested putting it in my yogurt...it is working wonderful!) and a glass of water :)

Lunch: last slice of leftover pizza from Pi (couldn't resist!) and half a cup of cottage cheese, oh, and more water :)

Dinner: 3oz. chicken with bread crumbs and brown rice cooked in chicken broth...oh, and some corn with a glass of water.

Dessert: Skinny Cow chocolate ice cream cone (yum-o!)

OK - now the lowdown on my numbers for the day...I actually did pretty darn well. I wasn't able to find the exact nutritional info for the pizza, but I went to a famous Chicago style pizza place in Chicago that did have nutritional info and just used that...should be just about the same. I'm using Sparkpeople.com and that gives me a range of what I need to get to the weight I want, losing only 1lb a week...wish me luck!

Calories (1,200-1,550): 1,361
Fat (32-56 grams): 28
(I find this hard to beleive with the food I usually eat, but looking back, I guess I did do really well today)
Carbs (163-236): 218
(I'm going to have to work hard to get this down...our diet is full of breads/pastas/etc)
Protein (60-127): 82
