Mike's Diet

[MikeM]

Today was another sort of low calorie day. I really tried to eat more, but just wasn't too hungry for some reason. Also, started the day with no milk or protein powder. Talk about a bad day to not have those laying around!

breakfast
3 eggs (last of eggs too! Horror!)
2 oz ham

lunch
4 oz turkey
2 slice cheese
lettuce and tomato
-rolled together
handful of mixed nuts

snack
milk, finally!!
apple
3 oz PB

dinner
big bowl chili w/ gr beef and beans
sour cream and some guacamole
cup broccoli
milk

That's pretty low on carbs too, even with beans in chili. Will keep it low tomorrow and probably wed. to see if we can't spark some water loss and get into fat burning mode proper.

Started the week back weighing 204, so not as bad as I thought it might be. My meet is 7 weeks away, so the goal is to get down to 197-8 in 5 weeks ( basically lose a little over a pound a week), then maintain or even go slightly down leading up to the meet.

My first meet, I ate whatever I wanted and was 192, the second one I was 200 about 10 days out and lost too much too quickly while not really working out, ended up a little stressed and 196 at meet time. (Found out my old scale wasn't accurate too!!)

Goal this time is to be at a stable weight in plenty of time and just cruise in not worried about weigh in.

The the goal after the meet is to take the rest of this Spring and Summer to make a serious dent in my pathetic conditioning. See if I can see some sort of Abs, even if it's just molded fat, by Fall.

We'll see.

Yeah, not pushing it as a diet....just found that light eating/big dinner was actually way to control cravings and then "indulge" them without overeating. It also makes food management easier during the day...but, i's not for everyone and I haven't done it for a while....

MY food was a little inconsistent the last few days too. Not a lot of work so my schedule was off and I have a new puppy that's a little distracting!

Your goal is really close!

"Fat-molded abs" I know what those are! lol
