Yesterday I reached my first of my goals. 145 lbs. Yes, I’m very happy. That’s 7 lbs down in 4 weeks. The blog started back on Oct. 22, that’s 7 weeks ago, but it wasn’t until Nov. 6th that I changed strategies after reading a book by Dr. Christine Northrup and began focusing on protein instead of just counting calories. My next goal is 140lbs. and I do hope to get there by New Year’s Eve. I haven’t been that weight since Dec. 2007.
Today’s recap:
Bfst: designer whey 100 cal + 18 grams of P, plus almond milk 40 cal + 1 grams of P.
Lunch: big lunch, one serving container of green giant frozen brocooli w/cheese , 40 cal, 2 grams of P by the way, I love www.thedailyplate.com as a resource for calorie counts. also, Polenta 2 servings (140 cal + 4 grams of P) with tomato sauce and one medallion of mozzarella (left over from yesterday when I od’d on mozzarella – my skin is paying the price today), pan fried just in olive oil spray. and then 6 homemade butternut squash ravioli’s frozen from back in september. I’m going to guestimate those at 250 cal plus 1 gram of protein. stash green ice tea with sun crystals (5 cal)
dinner: miss hungry gluten free spaghetti 40 cal + 2 grams of P, plus 1/2 can of Thai lite coconut milk 157 calories (more than i thought) + red curry paste + 11 japanese scallops from trader joe’s 180 calories + 33 grams of P, + bean sprouts + sugar snap peas. yummy. plus one small glass of white wine. 70 calories. also, water.
Totals as of 10:13 pm: 1022 calories (is that really possible?????). and 61 grams of P. i can’t believe I hit both goal totals today without even thinking about it until now! that’s very exciting.
