It's weigh-in day! Not that I'm expecting anything at all yet again this week...
Weight: 178.4 WHOOHOO! Haven't gone up! Hell yeah!
This week: -.6
Net loss: -2.8 (Wow, 2.8lbs in what, 4 weeks? 5 weeks? Oh well. It's been kind of a rough few weeks health-wise so I'll just be happy that I haven't GAINED 10lbs and press on.)
I wrote a little bit yesterday about the Paleo Diet but didn't go into too much detail since I don't have the book yet. (The library doesn't have it and I am too tight-fisted to just buy it, so I am waiting for the Chapters gift card that I ordered with my air miles!) Here is what I know about it from the website (which, if you're curious is, http://www.thepaleodiet.com): I am going to subsist on meat, veggies, fruit, and nuts. NO dairy, no starchy tubers, no beans, legumes, grains, or sugar. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? I am not sure how this is going to work exactly and I have a feeling that it's not feasible 100% of the time...but it should be an interesting experiment!
One thing I am pretty sure of, having paid more attention to what I'm eating this week, is that I'm not getting enough protein. If I follow the guideline of 0.7g - 1.0g of protein per pound of body-weight per day, that works out to 125 - 178g/day....which is considerably more than what I have been taking in.
So, for this week, the goal is to stick to a pretty light workout plan (no sense in getting carried away! One or two muscle groups per day with some cardio, and maybe, just maybe I'll get to the yoga studio) and start seriously decreasing sugar and starch. The thought of ditching dairy seems too awful to contemplate right now, so that will be a project for another week.
Here goes!
