Today I rediscovered the gloriousness that are egg whites. I saute'ed some onions with some spices in a pan, then added parmesan cheese and wild rice before adding the egg whites for a scramble. Delicious and only 299 calories (5 egg whites, 1/2 large onion, 1/2 cup wild rice, 1/4 cup cheese).
Also stayed on goal for the second weekend day, which, for me, is a minor miracle (and involved a lot of self control and popcorn for when I got the munchies).
I also prepped lunch for Monday and Tuesday, and I plan on trying to grab bananas after work tomorrow. They're a life saver for breakfast. I'm also trying to get up half an hour earlier to make sure everything's set for the day. This is the first week that I'm going to be specifically trying to get to the gym every day. Have to start somewhere.
Daily calorie goal: 1400
Actual calorie intake: 1249
Exercise goal for this week (not today): 30/min, 5 days/week. Total: 2.5 hours. 3 days of strength training, 2 of cardio.
Also going to try giving Fitocracy another chance.
I know the experts keep saying not to make goals too ambitious, but I refuse to let myself continue making excuses about why I can't make it to the gym. I had a really good pattern earlier this year and saw results slowly but surely. Time to start again.
