How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Thursday, April 03, 2008

Alright... 31 minutes of cardio (15 min treadmill @ 6.7mph, 15 min stairclimber, random climbing, level 3), 302 calories burned. Total for the day: 588.

Since I just changed up the diet, plus haven't posted it in a while:

Breakfast: 1 cup multigrain oat bran, 1 cup fat free milk, .5 cup blueberries (DELICIOUS!): 273 calories
Pre-Workout: protein powder shake, 120 calories
Post-Workout: protein powder shake, 120 calories
Lunch: 6.5oz boneless, skinless, roasted chicken breast, 2 cups lettuce, 1 tomato, 1 tbsp Hidden Valley Ranch Light, 1 slice sprouted flax seed bread, 1 apple: 512 calories
BADNESS: 1 chocolate truffle, 31 calories (couldn't believe it but that's what it said)
Dinner: 3oz pork chop, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup green beans, 1 slice sprouted flax seed bread, 1 orange, slim-a-bear 100 calorie ice cream bar: 487 calories
Pre-Workout: 6 pcs Mrs. May's Cashew Crunch, 150 calories

Total Intake: 1843 calories
Deficit: 455 calories

My intake was still a bit more than I would like by about 130 calories. No more ice cream. ;)
DAY 25, although I started today eating correctly. It's strange, but when I was eating too much I felt like I was eating after i was done eating. After recalculating it's almost identical to my old plan's metabolic adjustment.

Anyway, day 25 is identical to day 21, which was Sunday. 37 minutes, 282 calories burned. Stay tuned for cardio... :)
