Welcome to the dietbet.com blog, Hobo Band. I'm a lifelong vegetarian transitioning to vegan.
Obviously don't understand this BLOG businesss on dietbet. Anyway, 2nd entry:
Success is that I got on the scale after over a year. Weight is 211. Bad is that it's over 200, good is that its less than 220. Best is that I got on the scale at all.
For the first challenge I have to lose 4% of my weight in 4 weeks. I thought that sounded easy, but now i've figured it out, I have to lose 8.5 pounds in 4 weeks!!!! That's over 2 lbs per week!!!! I've never done that in my entire life. I just screwed myself.
Need to start trackign what I eat. Plan is that all plain veg and fruit is free. Count calories of everything else, with aim of 1000-1200 calories a day. Must have 1 handful of nuts per day.
Breakfast: smoothie recipe.
2 bananas -free
bunch of flaxseed meal (1/4 c) -150 cal
coconut milk (1 c) -150 cal
ice -free
cocoa (1 Tbl) -12 cal
Lunch: Perkins apple muffin -570 cal
1 peanut butter cup -105 ca.
Dinner: 2 apples -free
2 Tbl nonfat carmel dip -110 cal
2 Tbl chopped nuts -110 cal
Total for day 1: 1,207 cal
Hope to improve both quality of diet and just streamline as I get better organized.
