Good morning Winterlily.
Yeah, everything is ok with the journal. I decided to take it offline and switched over to the fitday journal private format. Hey! I'm gonna take you up on that steak one of these days.
I really like fitday.com a lot. I can't believe I didn't visit the site sooner. It's much easier for me to get a realistic look at what is going in my mouth and what the REAL carb, fat, calorie and fiber counts are. According to fitday I've been about 1593 calories a day, 139 grams fat, 20 carbs less 12% fiber for a total of 8 carbs per day, and 17% protein. I was surprised. I thought I was eating way more calories than that so that was a very pleasant surprise.
Gonna totally stick with what I've been doing this week because it is totally working.
I lost another 2 lbs. today. Whoopie!
That makes 8 total lbs lost in the past week. I did a 4 mile walk yesterday to the 99cents store. This is my new thing; walking to get things accomplished, like paying bills, grocery shopping, hanging out at the mall going to the bookstore...etc. That way I get two birds killed with one stone. It's great because I feel like I'm sneaking my workout in and then my reward is I get to shop.
My meals for the week have been the same exact thing and portion size for the week since I see that it makes me drop (also I don't wait until late at night for dinner like I'd been doing so before. Now I've just been having my dinner around 6:00 PM instead of 8:30 or 9:00 PM - doesn't know if it matters, but I'm just gonna stick with what's been working):
Breakfast: 3 Slices of Crispy Bacon, 1 Med Size Cinnamon Nutmeg Flaxseed Pancake w/ a pat of butter, 2 Over Medium Fried Eggs & 2 Cups of Coffee w/1 tsp of heavy cream
Lunch: 1 Cup of Romaine Salad w/ Ken's Steakhouse Caesar Dressing & 2 Cups of Coffee
Snack: 4 Cups of Orange Spice Green Tea (throughout the day)
Dinner: 1 eight ounce cheeseburger w/mustard using 1 slice of Deluxe American Cheese on top of 1 cup of romaine lettuce & Ken's Steakhouse Caesar Dressing
Water: 100 to 132 ounces per day
Vitamins: 1000 mg of Fish Oil & 1 Advanced Formula One A Day Maximum Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement
Exercise: 1 to 3 Hours of Intense Exercise or Activity
Well, just thought I'd share what's been working for me.
Wishing the best for everyone!
