Last week, I focused on fixing my diet and continuing my workouts. I started doing a subway diet for lunch, and a lighter dinner. Overall, I think I am consuming about 2000 calories (except for Easter weekend), instead of like 3000 or so. I felt a lot better, until Easter weekend came by. I have a huge family, and our gatherings are generally centered around food. Long story short, I think I consumed enough calories for 2 to 3 days just on Easter :(. This set me back greatly. When it comes to eating at family gatherings, I have little self control.
When I stepped in the scale on Monday morning, I weighed in at 191.5 again. Considering the fact that I still felt full and didn't digest my Easter meal yet, I think I did a decent job. I would say I lost about 2 lbs with my diet and exercise. I went to the gym that week everyday that week except for Friday and the weekend. Since I am sitting at about 190lbs now, I would need to loose about 2.25 lbs a week to reach my goal by the end of May. I think that it is still achievable, and I am still going for it. You owe me a Double-Double from In-n-Out once I reach my goal =).
Mark, when you achieve your self-change, I don't think you should expect to indulge a Double-Double from In-N-Out! You should keep up to make more progress on improving your health! I think with this self-change, if you're able to keep up, you would be disgusted looking at a Double-Double Burger. Think of the consequences you can get from it! This sounds funny, it feels like you're treated as a model in order to maintain your hour glass figure from dieting. Holidays are really hard to avoid food, since your family makes so much food and expects everyone to have a great time and to indulge. I felt the same way too over the Easter Holiday. I wonder if that Subway diet really works. Let me know if you have any progress from a Subway diet!
ReplyDeleteMark, family gatherings during holidays is extremely hard when trying to maintain your diet. I don't live with my parents, but when I visit them, I eat more than I normally eat. Stick to your exercise diet. Subway is always a healthy fast way to eat out. Especially when you're on the run. You're doing a great job! Good luck.
