So I had a feeling that our scale was not accurate, so I did some research and ordered a new one. It came in last night, and I was not excited to use it for the first time this morning. Well, I checked it out and I guess today is the official first day of my real "change" because I'm back plenty of pounds.
Starting weight: 181.4
Wow, I know right?! So this morning, I spent about an hour or more doing some research and working on creating a meal plan that is high in protein. I decided to not change up my diet too much because I know that I won't follow something completely new...or I'll follow it for awhile and then cheat. I took most of the food I eat and checked the calories, proteins, carbs and fat. According to the P90X phase 1 diet plan, the first thirty days, we have to follow this ratio:
Protein : Carb : Fat
50 : 30 : 20
Now that would mean that I would have to eat 150 grams of protein for a 1,200 calorie diet. That's a lot! And I definitely don't reach that. So after some research, I learned to increase my protein intake slowly every week. So my next post will be the food that I'm going to try and limit myself to for at least a week. It's definitely going to be difficult because of some prior commitments, but I'm going to try my best! Today, my goal is to read between 50-60 grams, because on some days in the past two weeks, I've reached 40-50 grams.
It's a new day. It's a new start. =) I know I can do this. Starting on March 25th, I'll have a strict exercise routine as well, because of the challenge that starts that day. I'm going to simply learn to "suck it up" if my foot hurts because it's been more than 3 months now and my doctor did say eventually that's exactly what I'll have to do!
Alsooo, from now on, I will simply take a screenshot of my Excel spreadsheet that I'm using to track calories, protein, carbs and fats!
