Burro and Cindy have inspired me to join in on the fun and do this challenge for February, eating *gasp* pizza and packaged foods. Say what?! :bigsmile:
Major Goals:
1) To eat pizza or a packaged pastry at least once a day this month.
2) To meet my weekly calorie/macronutrient/micronutrient goals with the help of pizza and packaged pastries.
3) 0.5lb loss per week, 2 lb loss for the month.
4) Continue current training regimen:
-3 days/week strength training
-3 days running
Minor Goals:
1) To further dispel the idea that your body metabolizes carbohydrates/fats/proteins differently depending on the source. Our bodies are smart, but not that smart; it doesn’t know if that carb was obtained from a banana or a pop tart.
2) To demonstrate that caloric deficits don’t have to involve torture.
Day 1
Challenge start weight (as of 1/31/14): 167.8lbs.
Cardio: 4.25 mile walk/run
Strength: none
TDEE (using IIFYM.com): 2196
Today’s Deficit: -403 cals
Cumulative Deficit: -403 cals
Packaged pastry of choice: SnoBalls

Pizza: I'm currently obsessed with Home Run Inn's individual frozen cheese pizzas. If I could buy them in bulk, I would. I switch between the thin and regular crusts depending on how many calories I have to work with. I topped this one with vegetarian pepperoni. Maybe next one will be with bacon. I guess you can call me a recovering vegetarian.0 -

Today's packaged delight: Walmart's knockoff Rice Krispie treat with colored chocolate pieces and a couple gluten free chocolate chip cookies. I'm not gluten free, but they were in the markdown bin and I've had these before, they're surprisingly good.0 -
