DAY 8

Here we go on the second week. Food's becoming a little easier to prepare and decide what to eat.
This is what I had yesterday:
Protein Shake (ingredients listed earlier) for breakfast
Clif Bar and Yogurt for snack
Sandwich with turkey and turkey bacon, lettuce, and cheese, along with carrots for lunch.
Clif Bar and String Cheese for snack
Chicken and skim milk for dinner and a salad.

Totals.
Protein: 1(breakfast), 3(lunch), 3(dinner) = 7 (2 short)
Fruit: 2(breakfast) = 2
Vegetable: 1(lunch), 1(dinner) = 2 (2 short)
Dairy: 1(breakfast), 1(lunch), 2(dinner) = 4
Carbs: 1(lunch) = 1
Condiments: 2(dinner) = 2
Fat: 1(dinner) = 1
Snack: 2 doubles = 2

So I'm still a little bit short on protein and veggies, but this was pretty dang easy to get ready to take to work, and chicken is simple to grill.
I'm going to try to add vegetable soup to the mix at lunch or dinner.
I don't mind eating the same thing everyday, especially when I see almost a pound a day drop off.

The workout was Chest and Back again today. It was harder today that last week. I think it was because I was really working on the form, trying to make my push-ups perfect and using less chair help on the pull-ups.
ABs were hard. I can do more now on the first 2-3 moves, but then it feels like the first time for the rest. Just gonna keep goin', I'll get there!

FYI - There was a day last week that I missed breakfast. I decided to just continue my meal plan that day without breakfast which meant I ate 500 or so calories less than the other days. Well, guess what, that was the only day of the week that my weight didn't lower at all. Sometimes its hard to eat so much, but eating fewer calories didn't do a thing, I only lost weight when following the nutrition plan!
