Ok, so I am going to be honest on this blog (0therwise it is no good).... and if I eat something bad, you can feel free to scold me and suggest healthier options. I am hoping that my eating habits will get better w/ time.
Pre-workout meal
2 whole grain waffles
approx. 2 tbl. spoons of light syrup
WATER
Approx 220 calories
Workout
I really don't know how to describe the work out
so here is a link to the website
http://beachbodz.wordpress.com/
The best description I can give- cardio work out with focus on the legs
then 5 min ab work-out
including: squat thrust, some push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, jumping rope
Burned Approx 542 Calories - this is based on the calculations of www.thedailyplate.com and it factors in my weight I have to move around.
Post-workout meal
Chicken, egg & cheese bagel from Chic-fil-a (I love these)
I was late for work and starving! (I know.. no excuses)
1 Diet Cherry Coke
Approx 500 Calories

1/3 of a small Almond Joy Coffee (I never drink stuff like this, but it was there, but I stopped drinking it b/c it gave me a headache.

I finished my garlic mashed potatoes from lunch
1 Diet Cherry Coke
Approx 288 Calories

to help with portions and how you can have what you want but still lose weight you can join weight watchers, they teach all of that and even if you don't go all of the time you can get the materials and learn from them about serving sizes (i was once a lifetime member, sustained for a couple of years and even though i have chunked up there are still items i never eat from what i learned there)
Weight watchers has helped me so much. I highly recommend it for anyone.
What I am not seeing in your diet are enough fruits and veggies. Before your workout try having a banana or some other fruit with some yogurt. Then after your workout have an egg white omlet. I saute or steam any kind of veggie and put it inside three egg whites with some 2% cheese. The protein keeps me more satisfied than any oatmeal or waffle.
You are just getting started, have patience and just know that I will help in any way I can.
