Since today’s pretty much over, I can post both.
Day 3 Results
- Weight: 139.8 pounds (24.8 to go!)
- Steps: 10,337
- Lows: I woke up around 9am and still couldn’t get 5 meals in. It wasn’t the number of hours in the day at this point, but I got distracted with work and didn’t eat lunch when I should have. I ate a healthy breakfast but it still wasn’t according to the plan as laid out (I have a carton of egg whites to finish). I think I can update the plan with what I ate today, as it is still high in protein and within the right calorie range. With a day off from weight training, I should have done my HIIT today, but I didn’t.
- Highs: Motivation is still high! Without weight training, I had extra time to get some work done. The boys’ food smelled awfully good today, but I wasn’t swayed!
- Nutrition:
- Breakfast – 1 whole egg, .5 c egg whites, 1 slice of white toast
- Meals 2, 3, and 4 – .5 c steamed white Basmati rice, 4 oz boneless, skinless, chicken breast, .5 c onions (chicken and onions boiled in water, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, ginger powder)
- Exercise:
- LISS – walked for 89 minutes
- All other markers checked.
