Day 1
Current weight: 81 kg (178.5 pounds)
-Had no breakfast (binged the night before and my stomach was killing me) Went to work.
-Got home, had a simple lunch.
Simple lunch
- 50gr of fluffy white steamed rice with fresh kimchi - 90cal
- A breakfast sandwich made with a piece of rye bread, a quarter of an omelette. a piece of vegetarian luncheon meat made of pumpkin and a bit of sriracha mayo (yum) - 102 cal
- A greek yogurt (unsweetened) - 101 cal
- A mushy banana (that I mixed in with the yogurt) - 90 cal
Total cal for lunch: 383 calories total
Verdict: A rushed, somewhat confused “ate breakfast at lunchtime” kinda vibe but still very tasty and filling. Did not feel the need to binge or snack afterwards.
-Had a headache, felt depressed, had a nap.
-Woke from nap, hubbie and me went on a three hour walk, talked and laughed. By the time we got home, we were exhausted and it was nighttime.
-For dinner I had two meal prepped burritos and a korean boozy peach soda
Zera´s vegetarian meal-prepped burritos:
- 1 small flour tortilla (100 cal each)
- 1 tablespoon cooked black beans (not fried) 40 cal
- 1 tablespoon veggie tabule 27 cal (in lure of rice)
- 1 teaspoon vegan spread 25 cal (hummus is good too)
- half of a low fat cheese single 25 cal
- 2 tablespoons of veggie filling (made with eggplant, mushrooms, soy sauce and a dash of vegetarian stir fry sauce) 70 cal
All wrapped up nicely, cooked on my sandwich press with no added oil and served with some fresh arugula.
Total calories: 524 (for two burritos, 262 calories each)
Korean peach flavoured boozy soda calories: 90 cal according to can.
Total cal for dinner: 614 calories total
Verdict: Surprisingly filling for how low calorie they technically are. I didn't miss rice or more cheese, it was perfectly balanced and tasted delicious (but maybe I was just hungry) went to bed and fell asleep pretty quickly
Total calories of day 1: 997
Exercise: walked for 14km (8.7 miles) burned 797 calories
Closing thoughts on day 1: Felt like a good first step. I'm shocked at how low calorie everything I ate was considering how full I felt. Meal prepping was a great idea. If someone had me guess on the spot how many calories I thought I ate, I would have said 1500-1600 but it was way less, sitting to think about what you´ve eaten is a great idea, really gives you perspective.
Day 2:
Current weight: 80.7 kg (177.9 pounds)
Lost weight: 300gr (0.6 pounds)
I was so shocked to see I lost weight already, I was sure it´d take a couple days at least but hey. let´s take things slow and not get too excited here.
Had me a proper salty and sweet breakfast.
Zera´s proper breakfast
- 1 breakfast sandwich made with a1 piece of rye bread, a quarter of an omelette. a piece of vegetarian luncheon meat made of pumpkin and a bit of sriracha mayo (yum) - 102 cal
- A greek yogurt (unsweetened) - 101 cal
- A slightly less mushy banana (that I mixed in with the yogurt) - 90 cal
- A small glass of natural orange juice -25 cal
- Coffee (with low calorie soy milk and no sugar) 20 cal
Total calories of proper breakfast: 338 calories
Veredict: A bit rushed as all breakfasts are, but tasty and nice. I have the opposite of a sweet tooth so the mushy banana-greek yogurt combo was a bit hard to eat whole. I think I should find some saltier alternatives.
Midmorning snack: Had a ripe, juicy nectarine - 40 cal
Walked all the way back home, had me a simple lunch
Simple lunch: 150gr of cooked rice, some kimchi and a vegan veggie burg - 275cal
Went for a super long walk, returned home when it was super late
When I got home, hubbie had bought chinese take out…
Guilty but very tasty chinese takeout dinner:
- 90gr of fried noodles 265 cal
- 10 pieces of assorted sushi 400 cal
- 3 boiled dumplings 200 cal
- Total guilty cals: 865 calories
Veredict: SO GOOD I missed that place so much I almost cried. Will reduce quantities in the future
Total calories of day 2: 1518 calories
Exercise: walked for 16km (9.7 miles) burned 958 calories
Closing thoughts on day 2: I feel bad, like I ate too much and exercised too little. It was fun to eat chinese again but i'll cut back on it on the following das or else i'll never reach my goal
Feel a little bit like a failure rn. Will try to remain positive and keep making a habit out of counting calories and exercising daily. I need to keep believing in my fat self
