Day 1 - Exercise Day #1 - 208 pounds

Well today was the first day of many to come. Because there is no school currently due to break, I have the pleasure to sleep in, which results in my days being shorter, so eating late was not a problem. I'm trying to aim for a 40/30/30 ratio of Carbs/Protein/Fat, but with what I ate today, I sort of had a little too much fat [yikes]. Nothing to worry about though.

To track my stats for the day, I use a site called FitDay.com. I write down all the foods I eat and it has neat graphs and more that shows the ratio and nutrition of the foods.

Here is what I ate for

Breakfast (1:45pm):

6 eggs scramble
half an onion
3/4 cherry tomato
2 slices cheese.
4 Fish Oil capsules
3 CLA capsules

Lunch (4:30):

2 capsules PGX fiber with lots of water
Cliff Builder protein bar - peanut butter
Odwalla superfood drink

Pre-workout meal (5:30pm)

1 cup rice milk
1 scoop of Protein Factor special mix of 30% whey ion-exchanged, 30% casein, 30% Rice Oligodextrin (LOW G.I carb), and 10$ egg white powder

Post-workout drink (7:00pm)

1 cup of apple juice (Still waiting for my True Protein custom mix to come)

Dinner (8:00pm):
Smoothie:
-1 cup spinach
-1 cup rice milk with water
-4 Strawberries
-2.5 oz blueberries
-one teaspoon cod liver oil
-one scoop Protein Factory powder custom mix
Not smoothie:
-4 Fish Oil capsules [I mention fish oils and CLA because each pill has 9 calories]

TOTAL CALORIES: 1913.

CARB/PROTEIN/FAT RATIO: 41/22/36.

Side note: Notice I had too much fat today. I sort of forgot eggs are loaded with it, yikes.
___

Exercise:

40 minutes weight lifting with dumbbells - mild intensity - arms/upper body ONLY.

~25 minutes playing basketball/shooting hoops.

ESTIMATED CALORIES BURNED: ~250.

Food wise, I think I did fairly well. The smoothies I think are fantastic to have after workouts, though I really wish my True Protein order would arrive. It's 10 minutes till 10 and I don't think I will eat anything for the rest of tonight, until 2 pm tomorrow. I'm glad the foods I ate today were mostly basic things and nothing too complex. If I get hungry, I'll drink, well try to finish, my 3L bottle of Ozarka.

If I am sore tomorrow morning, I will hold off on the weights until the soreness is gone. I plan next time I exercise to mildly work on weights, but focus more on my legs and abs. I did a few ab workouts today, nothing major, but my arms need a rest.

All in all, I am trying to aim for the typical 1 pounds a week mark of weight (hopefully fat) loss. I'll keep posting every night!
