Week 1 is in the books...

...AND I LOST ALMOST 2LBS!! I know, I know...that's not huge loss but after this plateauing feeling I've had, I'm just glad to see a smaller number on the scale! Started out this week (as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts) at 258.8. Stepped on the scale yesterday morning and was down to 257.2! 

I feel pretty good about the progress from last week but I think I can do better. I didn't stick to my meal plan as I should've (even though, when I didn't, I still made good choices) but I know I can do a better job at that. After talking with the Nutritionist at my gym, I need to get my carbs down. MyFitnessPal tracked my food and my carb/protein/fat breakdown was 35%/33%/32%. I need to readjust to back to how I was the last week of December (34%/43%/23%). Needless to say, I'll be looking at what I ate that week and trying to incorporate it into my diet this week. 

As far as workouts, I worked out 11 times last week. I have been doing T25 in the mornings and then weight training in evenings. The T25 workouts were challenging but no more challenging than Insanity. The hardest part for me is waking up earlier than normal to workout but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I am finding that I have more energy throughout my day when I workout in the morning and I'm eating more (good) calories so that will help with energy levels as well. I averaged 2271 calories per day last week. Not great but could be worse. Going to try to get my average over 2350 this week. 

Progress is being made people! Let's see how week 2 goes! Build baby, Build!
