Help with diet/exercise

Congrats on your new baby! 7.5 pounds is 3 weeks is great! Your diary is closed so I couldn't see what you're eating. I know for myself I never come under cause I like food way too much and I always eat back my exercise calories and I've never had a problem losing. I am not a fan of running cause I just don't like it and it doesn't like me but I have to do a mile at least once a week in my bootcamp class in addition to tons of sprint work and I'm happy with the results as far as endurance.. Of course my diet is on point too but I credit a lot of leaning out my lower half to the running and sprint work.

I have a similar personality. There are certain items I won't even bring in my house because I know I would overindulge. Your pace that you're losing at right now seems reasonable to me. You could even eat more especially on the days you exercise. No reason you can't eat out. I eat out with friends. I just order healthy. I don't do fast food if that is what you mean by eating out but that is just a personal choice. If it fits in your daily goals and you like it no reason to cut it out completely.

My bootcamp class consist of the running and sprinting I mentioned along with weights, sleds, rope, tires, plyometrics, trx, kettlebell, really whatever the instructor comes up with for class time. Mine is primarily indoor minus the run.
I've been to bootcamp classes at the park that were more bodyweight and using the facilities present for things like step ups, dips, push ups, etc. Some do bring items out like jump ropes, weighted balls, ladders, etc.
I love them because I like the class camaraderie and I do stuff in bootcamp I would never do on my own and use equipment that a normal gym like a 24 wouldn't have.

Congrats on the baby and the great start to the new you. It seems like you've got a good handle on your diet and exercise. I am also a fan of Atkins, as it works really well for me. As mentioned, increasing your protein a bit would be a good idea. And as for running, it doesn't take a lot of skill or equipment and it's a great way to get a good cardio workout. Plus, the extra calories you burn let you eat more of the stuff you like.

When I started trying to eat more protein, I focused on eggs, chicken, and protein powder, because they seemed the easiest and the most bang for the buck.

Every Sunday, I make hardboiled eggs, and I bake off a few boneless chicken breasts. So they are in the fridge for the week to easily fill out a meal or snack. I also love the thin-sliced boneless pork chops I found at my supermarket, they are something different and cook super fast. Frozen shrimp is easy and a protein. I eat peanut butter or almond butter every day, not sure if you can eat oatmeal on Atkins, but I love rolled oats with peanut butter and blueberries! I'll have it for dinner sometimes . Nuts are a great snack because they have protein and fat to fill you up, but you do have to be careful of portion size, I will portion them into those tiny Ziploc bags. I also snack a lot on cheese - cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, string cheese.

I tend to stick to the same foods too, but I switch it up with flavor. Tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, lemon-pepper, soy sauce, curry sauce. And I switch up veggies all the time - seasonal veggies from the produce section and I have a freezer full of frozen ones.

Hope that gave you some ideas!

Luckily I don't really have any "trigger" foods, I'm pretty good at controlling portion size so that makes it a little easier for me. Except potato chips. Beautiful lovely potato chips...

Lol, yeah, I was about to say that it's very easy to add 300 calories. I don't think I saw any milk in your diary. You can add three glasses of that. You can also add nutrient-dense cereals. For example, I regularly eat "quaker simply granola vanilla almond" and "oatmeal crispy crunchy almond," among others. I highly suggest that you weigh them, though, because they're very dense. Otherwise, eat nuts. Avocados. Driizle olive and coconut oil on things. Eat cottage cheese - but, again, that's very dense, so measure it. I would recommend some more fruit but you might be pushing your sugar limit already. If you enjoy popcorn you can get a popcorn maker and get around 7 cups for 120 calories. Or you can munch on smartpop or skinnypop.

Honestly, though, you need more protein. Maybe make an egg, cheese, and turkey sandwich in the morning? Just add an extra few oz of meat on most days.
