Since my last post things have been going really well. I had a great loss the first few days of last week and have since maintained that. My goal of course is to lose weight, but it is also to be healthier. On that note my eating has been spot on, simple meals....usually a protein and a side of veggies. I do chose to use healthy fats such as butter and coconut oil. There was a chocolate mug cake I made using coconut flour that wasnt the greatest looking, but was pretty tasty. There's got to be a better version of it out there, so the search will continue. Other things I've had include a HUGE salad topped with jicima, mushrooms, 2 crunch beef taco contents mixed in with a sour cream/salsa dressing. The weekend included a small fro yo and two small pieces of pizza. On those days I did not go over my calorie intake, just ate healthier. I don't want to totally deprive myself of all goodies but it is nice to see that I can indulge and not go overboard.
Execise has been most excellent. Friday was my rest day and every other day included 2 hours of exercise...either a class at the gym, an hour long brisk walk with my dog, a bike ride. My new Polar heart rate monitor is keeping tabs on my calories burned. It is really fun to see the number get higher and higher. This week will contain more of the same-good eating habits as well as lots of exercise.
