Back to Basics Boot Camp
End of 5DPT
I had been doing so good on the 5DPT, but this am I was up 3 pounds. But from the start of the 5DPT I did loose a total of 4.8. So I am more ahead than back.
Where things went wrong yesterday....Sunday is my predetermined day-off exercise. I've been working out 6 days a week for at least 30 minutes plus 2 miles of walking throughout the day. Also since yesterday was solid protein, I didn't have any protein shakes...which give so much protein (60g) and so few calories (280) for the one I drink. I tried to get all my protein from solid sources which I think is too many calories. I also had pinto beans thinking they were a good protein source, but when I looked it up after eating...they are more carb than protein. I also had cheese, which probably had too much fat. So 2 things I didn't do and 2 things I didn't do right. All about learning, right? So how can I implement these lessons....
Today, I ate a protein bar on the way to the gym and went to an Athletic Training class at the gym (maybe more athletic than I am?) My knee hurts now, even though I modified alot because my knees aren't so great. I did about 40 minutes of the class and felt nauseous and broke out into hives under my arms (am I allergic to exercise? LOL). But I exercised and that I do feel good about.
Food-wise, I ate a pre-workout protein bar and have protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. I have a yogurt in the fridge at work if I need a late afternoon snack. Dinner I have Grilled Moroccan Chicken with green salad planned. My family will have some tabbouleh, but I will stay away from the Bulgar (wheat). Hopefully today will be a better day since I have a plan and yesterday was such a "go by the seat of my pants" day.
