Tabris straps on her sword...

[Tabris]

One of my 6WC goals is to log my food, so I decided I'll start the battle log where I'll basically write down everything that I do ever. [i'll write down goals and notes for myself in square brackets like this]

 

So, April 15, Monday

 

Sleep had: around 6 hours [Go to bed at midnight instead of 2 am today, and not dawdle doing just "one more thing" on my phone once I'm in bed]

Got up: 9 am [Get up at 8:40 tomorrow]

 

Weight: 288 pounds

Waist: 120 cm (yes I am tracking measurements in cm and weight in pounds >_> it's for accuracy)

Hips: 131 cm

Top of leg: 74,5 cm

 

Work out

NF's Beginner Bodyweight Workout

only did 2 sets

of those:

only did 6 push-ups both sets [do 7 Wednesday!]

held the plank 10 seconds first set, 13 seconds second set [hold 13 seconds both sets Wednesday]

only did 10 lunges second set [do 12 lunges Wednesday]

Walked (my pedometer glitched out on me but I think I saw the number of steps before it did): 1788 steps. [Go past the red building tomorrow]

 

Food Log

Breakfast:

2 chicken wings, roasted: 86 calories each for a total of 172

pasta, 74 grams: 130 calories

a banana "for desert": 105 calories

This was a really big breakfast; I felt uncomfortably full afterwards. I only ate this much (and ate such non-breakfast foods) because it was my first and last meal of the day and I wanted to "store it" for the rest of the day. Which was just stupid of me plain and simple.

[take a smaller plate tomorrow]

Monday is my fasting day, so didn't eat anything else.

Calories consumed in a day: 407

 

Energy notes

Began feeling sleepy and blah around 12-1pm, which my guess is from combination of coming down from carb rush from pasta and just plain old not getting enough sleep.

 

But! Felt much more energetic after my walk! Which is extra awesome.

 

So, all in all, this day is a win for the challenge.

I'm getting into counting calories, strangely. I counted up my BMR and at 2000 calories a day I should be losing weight reliably without feeling too deprived, so that's my caloric limit. It's actually pretty freeing! If I want to eat something unhealthy I don't have to beat myself up, I just write it down and add it to my daily intake. It made me more conscious of what I eat, and even though I'm not the poster girl for healthy nutrition I'm eating more vegetables and I control the amount of "treats" I get between meals.
