New Me – Week 1

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

scale Friday was the end of my first week of my new meal plan and 30 day sugar free diet.  AND I’d like to say that I made it one complete week with a perfect diet and NO SUGAR or foods that act like sugar in my body!  I can’t believe it.  It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.however I worked all 5 days and ran around like a crazy woman.  It made it a lot easier to keep the bad stuff out of my mouth by not being at home much. 

So at last week’s beginning I weighed 140 lbs and had a body fat percentage of 29.55.  Now my goal is 120 lbs and 16% body fat. 

My meals are planned at 3 hours apart with 6 total during the day.  My nutritionist charges for this advice, so all I can say is that I am trying a new type of plan this time and LOVE IT!  I haven’t been starved between meals, nor am I too full to finish my food.  I feel energetic all day and feel like there are less mood swings related to hunger and insulin spikes/dips in my body.

My workouts are back on track.  I feel crazy trying to fit them in, but they are all fitting somewhere.  One day this week I was able to get up and do 15 minutes of cardio before getting ready for work.  I fit 4 workouts in this week before checking in and 4 and a half hours of total cardio. 

And after all that work my results on Friday were.

.well.happy face

.they.

.were.

.not.

BAD!!!

I weighed in at 138.8, which of course made me sad.  But after measurements of fat, I dropped to 28.28% body fat.  So, I gained just shy of one pound of muscle and lost just over 2 pounds of fat.  VERY EXCITING!!!  Can’t wait until next week. 

Thanks for following my journey and come back to see what kind of results this week will bring!
