interested in losing inches... fat loss

uglysweatercollector

hey everyone!

here are the facts:

i've just started lifting heavy about 3-4x's a week (strong lifts) and have coupled it with C25K on my rest days (mostly for the stress alleviation, but it also helps me create more of a calorie deficit). i'm a running beginner and am scared of HIIT hahaha.

i have not been eating enough cals in the past but i'm in the process of repairing my metabolism & eating enough.

i'm 5'2" 115lbs, trying to hit ~1500 cals a day. 115g protein, 45g fat, 220g carbs.

i'm a pear shape: i'm pretty slim on the upper body with thick thighs and butt. i know there is no such thing as spot reducing - i'm looking to slim down all over, but hoping to eventually get that off the lower body too with proper exercise/diet. i'm more interested in losing inches, fat loss, and how well clothes fit than the scale weight.

food i eat:
oatmeal w/ almond milk + bananas
turkey + eggs
chicken + sweet potato
salmon + brown rice
whole wheat bread + cheese + turkey
tangerines, pears, apples, etc.
occasional piece of 85% dark chocolate or unsalted peanuts for cheats


am i doing everything right? any tips? thank you thank you thank you, in advance.
