Almost to the week's end and proud of my current progress. I have kept to the 1200-1400 calorie range and while I didn't get long walks in, I was able to cycle on the recumbent longer to make up for it (rainy weather). I'm actually going to wait until the end of next week to weigh-in since I did make big adjustments and I seem to work harder without the numbers affecting me. The higher protein intake has absolutely kept me from feeling hungry and I am in love with avocados and Cedarlane's Eggplant Parmesan. Why has no one told me how good eggplant Parmesan is before? It's ten times better than lasagna in the taste department and without the carbs!
Breakfast this week was either eggs with tuna or avocado or mini wheat cereal or a granola bar. I didn't eat big breakfasts right away if I went back to bed after taking my nephews to school. I would save it for lunch if I knew I'd be going back to sleep. I cycled for an hour most afternoons, which was tiring, but much easier on my feet and back. My legs really got a workout though! Best part is my pain levels haven't been terrible this week. Less ibuprofen and better quality sleep too.
I have hopes this will be my niche in this transition. I hope to lose that 20 lbs in the next couple months and hit my next milestone. 50 lbs to the middle range of my target weight, still projected for October or November, depending on if this is sustainable. We shall see. Either way, I'm not giving up on a healthier me. Health is everything!
Skinny jeans are a really great bonus though...
