Week Two Challenge

elmogirl316

The week two challenge is to choose three of the following items to work on:

* 30 minutes of exercise daily.

* Weight Training. (Does this include lugging Talia all over, she is over 30 lbs!!)

* Do not eat fewer than 1200 calories a day. ( Are you kidding me, the difference between 1200 and 1500 calories is an ICE CREAM CONE, people!)

* Never skip breakfast (You can eat your ice cream here so you don't miss breakfast and you don't eat less than 1200 calories, LOL)

* Have protein snacks on hand with about 10 g protein per snack.

So what did you choose and how is it going?

I chose to:
1. Not eat fewer than 1200 calories a day which surprisingly I did once last week. Would have never guessed that I could do that.
2. Never skip breakfast. I am eating the Formula 1 shake for breakfast and have quit drinking Dr Pepper in the morning.
3. Have protein snacks on hand. I have been snacking on soy beans and plain almonds (no more yogurt covered almonds).

It has been going pretty well. I am surprised how hard it is to eat out. You really have to do your research to make the right choices at some of the fast food places. However I scored a win at McDonalds the other night with grilled snack wraps and a fruit salad and Arbys worked out great with a roasted turkey and swiss wrap. I failed miserably at KFC though. Nothing there is low calories. My 2 piece grilled chicken meal with corn and baked beans and a biscuit cost me 825 calories. Need to watch my fitness pal better when I am deciding what to order.
