Weight Lost: 8.2 lbs
Hello, Tuesday!
First of all, I want to mention that I am now weighing myself first thing in the morning. I was weighing myself right after dinner and it was making me feel guilty, even though our evening meals have been healthy and relatively portion controlled. This way, my body has time to digest and process the dinner and distribute as needed, preventing any skewing of the weight. So yes, my weight is less today :)
I ate pretty light throughout the work day, which was a real good thing since Britni and I went out for sushi and udon for dinner. Breakfast was an apple and a banana and a few remaining raw hazelnuts I had left over from yesterday. I again had a tangelo as a snack in the morning. Lunch was a green pepper, raw hemp seed, and 7 strawberries. I hoping to try some of that raw mint icecream this evening, so my tantalizing description will need to wait one more post session.
In other news, I met with the personal trainer today. He completed a full body assessment, which was absolutely fascinating. In relation to my height and body frame, the lowest weight I can maintain healthfully is 149 lbs. and 18% body fat would be at about 179 lbs. I was kind of shocked by the numbers, but I was pretty solid when I used to weigh 165-170lbs. Now that I have that in mind, I am revamping my goal weight to 170 lbs., and will be more than ok if it dips down a little lower as we progress through this little journey.
"Work smarter not harder" was the general theme of our training session. We went through a lot of circuit weights, and he also showed me how a simple 1 minute plank with a balance apparatus can bring my heart rate up to fat burning level, which would normally take 15 minutes on a treadmill to reach! I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and can't wait to apply it to my daily work outs.
This concludes my edition of day 14. Hope you enjoy!
