Weight Loss Week 2 Update

Here's a recap of my activity and eating as well as my changes in weight and inches.

Activity:

Mon. Tues. ~ Worked out at gym for 1 - 1 1/2 hours each day, mixture of weight training and cardio.

Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. ~ 30-45 minutes of cardio

I overdid the weight training on Monday and was super sore through Friday, plus I injured my left quad.  Due to my soreness/pain and my trainer being sick, the majority of the week was cardio.  BUT at least I did something! :)

Eating:

Breakfast consisted of one serving of oatmeal each day.

Snack was one boiled egg AFTER workouts (for protein and Vitamin B boosts)

Lunch  tuna wrap (tuna, light mayo, seasoning, shredded cheese, lettuce, whole wheat wrap) or a roasted chicken breast topped with pepperjack cheese and sauteed mushrooms and onions or a black bean, cilantro, avocado wrap.  Fresh veggies were added as a side each day.

Snack was an apple or a string cheese.

Dinner was nothing out of the ordinary.  I usually cook as healthy as possible with what we have.  This week I struggled with portion sizes.  I was a LOT hungrier than last week, perhaps because my metabolism was up?  There were a couple times when I found myself grabbing whatever between meals/snacks, so this week I want to be prepared with extra healthy snacks.

Dessert was occasional.  

Drinks were 6-8 BOTTLES of water a day, as well as one cup of milk (and of course my 2 cups of joe in the morning).  One evening I shared a pop with my hubby.

Considering it was a very tough week for me, I am happy with this!  Looking forward to doing it again this week, and being careful NOT to overdo it! that was not fun at all! :P

I plan on copying/pasting this form each Sunday.  I know it's basic, but simple = doable!
