Food and Execise Diary: WEEK 1

Day One:

I did it! I got up at 5:30 am and worked out. First time really putting our new heater to the test; it was freakin cold out there in the garage, but both Rich and I made it through. The whole time you could see your breath, and at one point I was laying on the ground watching the heat and sweat steam off my face. Pretty cool.

Not so good on diet management, but not too bad either.
I had some low-cal/fat free yogurt--60 calories--and a slice of pound cake (what can I say, it was there calling my name; iee, that was the not so good part) for breakfast.
I had a grapefruit, plain as Spain for mind morning snack (it wasn't that bad), um about 150 cals.
Lunch was a lean cusine, 270 cals/5 grams of fat (prolly less then that slice of pound cake...sigh).
Afternoon snack was most of an orange and about 10 salt water taffys, round up to 200 cals.
For dinner I just baked one of those frozen pizzas, I think I consumed about 650-700 cals there, and I don't even want to think about how much fat.

I drank nothin but water all day!

So I think I ate about 1500-1600 cals today. Like I said, not so good, but not so bad either.

  1. DAY 2
    GO TERESA!
    made it through day 2 of WORKING OUT, my form in most of the exercises left something to be desired, but I'm sure i was burning calories

    FOOD DIARY:
    yougurt: 60; soup: 70; lean cusine: 270; a handful of m & m's: 100?; half a gratefruit: 85; salmon and noodles: ? 500 at least. I read that people underestimate their caloric intake by 20%-40% (Thanks Jen), so I'm going to estimate that I consumed about 1300-1500 cals today. Pretty good!

  2. DAY 3
    GO TERESA!

    Third day in a row! Rich wanted to do legs and back this morning but I could barely walk I was so sore. So we did a core work out instead.

    FOOD DIARY:
    pretty much the same as yesterday but minus the salmon. SO probably around 1500 calories.

  3. Great work, Teresa. Frozen pizza is a killer. Pizza in general. Ahh, I love it so.I averaged 1500 calories per day this last couple of days, and I burned about 2600. The first of the week was a lot more difficult because I was in St. George and eating out. However, I was able to lose 6 pounds. I am down to 157. I am trying to train for a 5k on the 16th. Things are going better than I anticipated. The most I have lost in one week is about 3.

  4. Sounds like a decent start T! I've jumped on the treadmill 5 out of 6 days, totally changed my eating habits (BAD ones!) I had fallen into, and started to tone and stretch. I have a couple workout dvd en route...hope to add that to the routine soon. I had to start small...but at least I started! Keep it up, you're a great motivation!!
