Well, today is really the first day. I weighed in this morning and I was 222 (or so I think). Anyway, a couple things I am going to do is track my money spent on Food and Drinks as well as my Calories per day, total weight, total weight lost, and I'm going to set mini goals so that I don't get discouraged. My first mini-goal is to get down to 220 pounds. Okay, well here is what I have had to eat today so far:
Breakfast:
2 Bowls of Golden Crisp Cereal (I'm guessing my bowls add up to 3 bowls): 330 Calories
Milk in each bowl (I'm guessing 2 cups of milk): 180 Calories
Total Calories for Breakfast: 510
Lunch:
2 Low Fat Yogurts: 160 Calories
1 Orange: 61 Calories
1 Apple: 110 Calories
1 Serving of Baby Carrots: 7 Calories
1 Stick of Celery: 1 Calorie
1 Fiber One Bar: 140 Calories
Total Calories for Lunch: 479
Dinner:
Beef Tenderloin: 183 Calories
Worcestershire Sauce: 0 Calories
Green Peppers: 32 Claories
Red Peppers: 42 Calories
Onions: 67 Calories
Garlic: 4 Calories
Beef Bouillon: 10 Calories
Tomatoes: 32 Calories
Egg Noodles: 500 Calories
Milk: 180 Calories (2 cups)
Total Calories for Dinner: 1,050
Total Calories for the day: 2,039
While, I thought I was doing well, it appears the facts state otherwise. Keep in mind I haven't ACTUALLY eaten dinner yet, so all these are just high estimates of what I will eat. It's very conceivable that I don't eat this much.
Total Money Spent: $0
Max Calories Allowed: 2,220
Calorie Deficit: 181
Just not good enough. I need to do better tomorrow! This wouldn't be so bad if our dang treadmill was fixed. Oh well.

Ryan, it sounds like you are off to a great start! You should create an account on Sparkpeople.com. It will help you set goals for yourself and also creates a chart each day of where all your calories were. I find it very useful.
ReplyDeleteHey Look at those noodles! If you cut those out alone and still ate that icky beef you would save 500 calories! That is like half my day! Good Job though! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteActually, the noodles were a HUGE overestimation. I was researching the stuff online, that is why the calories on the noodles are so high. 1 of the servings online was literally right around double the amount for 1 serving of the noodles we used (and the serving size of our noodles was larger!)
