Day 22 ~ 1548 cal/47 fat/125 carbs

I really like this website to find the calories, fat, and carbs for food that doesn't list the nutritional facts: http://caloriecount.about.com/foods

Just type in the top right hand box your food (such as lettuce) and up comes the facts you need to write down in your journal!!

I also found a great way to figure out a time line for your weight loss at www.caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-goal.php. It says that I "should consume about 1,540 calories a day to reach your goal weight of 125 lbs. This is at a reasonable weight loss average of 1 lbs per week, which should be reached by April 6, 2010."

Perfect timing for tank tops, shorts, bathing suits!

I also did more research on www.nutritiondata.com and they suggest I consume (calculated from my age, weight, height, and activity level) 130 carbs a day - eating more healthy carbs are my goal (more salads, fruits, & veggies) and less pasta and bread (maybe only one meal a day instead of two).

Weight: 131.2

Breakfast (430 cal/17 fat/69 carbs/11 pro): Cranberry Hazelnut Cereal from Day 10 ~ 1 cup corn flakes instead of Kashi grain puffs (100 cal/0 fat/24 carbs/2 pro), 1/2 cup fat-free milk (40 cal/0 fat/6 carbs/4 pro), 2 tbsp hazelnuts (177 cal/17 fat/5 carbs/4 pro) ~ my hazelnuts have more calories than the book suggests for that serving size, 2 tbsp dried cranberries (48 cal/0 fat/13 carbs/0 pro), and 1 medium orange (65 cal/0 fat/21 carbs/1 pro).

Lunch (334 cal/12 fat/36 carbs/18 pro): Roast Beef Pita from Day 22 ~ 1 whole wheat pita (160 cal/0 fat/32 carb/6 pro) with 2 tsp canola mayo (22 cal/2 fat/0 carbs/0 pro), 8 black olives (50 cal/5 fat/2 carb/0 pro), 3 oz roast beef (100 cal/4.5 fat/1 carb/12 pro), and 1 lettuce leaf (2 cal/0 fat/.5 carbs/.1 pro).

Snack (494 cal/0 fat/15.8 carbs/4 pro): Four Michelob Ultra beers (384 cal/0 fat/12 carbs/3 pro) AND two 55 calorie budweisers (110 cal/0 fat/3.8 carbs/1 pro)!!! OH gesh and I wonder why I can't lose any weight!?!? haha

Dinner (290 cal/18 fat/4 carbs/27.5 pro): I got home late and created my own version of (2) turkey roll-ups ~ 4 oz turkey (80 cal/1.35 fat/1.35 carb/15 pro) layered with 2 tbsp mashed avocado (50 cal/4.5 fat/2.5 carbs/.5 pro) wrapped around two cheese sticks (160 cal/12 fat/0 carbs/12 pro).

Activity: Busted it out today at the gym for an hour of cardio & toning in aerobics!

59.5 grams of protein

Tip of the day from http://weightloss.about.com/: One of the best ways to take a walking routine up a notch is to add some interval training. This means you'll speed up your pace for a minute or two every several minutes. If you're walking more than one mile, you could also alternate a run-walk, adding arm movements, or ankle weights while leaving one mile to take a little more slowly.

  1. Keep up the great work! I have officially been in a slump and not wanting to work out at all! It is not good!!! BUT since I can't get my butt to the gym then I am going to start doing some workout DVD's that I have. I have a Biggest Loser; Jillian Michaels 30 day shred; and then a Carmen Electra one...so I am gonna start there and work from there. I am also going to start writing down my foods daily. I think I NEED to do that for myself...I am considering a blog even though it will just be for me, it might help me be more accountable! :) Thanks for the motivation Jen- reading your blog helps keep me motivated! :)
