So I'm learning the art of compromise. I can have a cinnamon roll if I keep down my starchy foods for the rest of the day and get in some good proteins.. I have good days. I have bad days. Calorie wise I've been a little roller coastery within a few hundred calories throughout the week.
Sun: 1592
Mon: 1500 (No idea how I accomplished that pretty number)
Tue: 1866
Wednesday:1639
Thats the thing i'm trying to figure out. Do I go hardcore now and keep it at like 1200 calories a day? or do I go for the 1500-1600 calories, which is taking a good bit of will power? Or do I follow dailyburn and eat 1708 - 1958 ? That number seems a bit high to me given that my resting metabolic rate is 2292 and I know I need to cut my calories by -500 a day to lose 1lb a week. Obviously, I want to lose as quickly as I can safely. My 'goal' is 5 lbs a month, leaving me at my goal weight in just over 2 years. If I do better, great, but I want to lose at least 1 lb and a little bit more each week.
We'll see what works for me, but this week is hell with TOM and me having serious cravings. Poor D is being a trooper through this for me though. I'm the queen of mixed signals, especially when I'm hormonal. Taunting him is just SO much fun. Yes, yes, I know I'm an evil b*tch.
I also have another favorite recipe.
Basil Chicken
Changes I made was 3 times the garlic, added 1 cup of fresh chopped spinach, twice the chicken, marinated in basil and Italian dressing overnight.
O.M.G It was amazing and flavorful.
I have more recipes I'm trying out. Sweet and Savory Tofu, White Pizza Florentine, and Southwestern Salsa Pasta. I love to cook so i'm super excited.
