Starting today I am going on a 30-day clean eating challenge. Why? Because after being on vacation/dealing with graduation/parents for the past month, I feel absolutely terrible and I just had a stomachache for the past 3 days. I'm going to make the staples of my diet the following:

- brown rice
- fish
- veggies
- fruit
- Greek yogurt
- eggs

Snacks can be kind bars, raw trail mix and dried fruit (for sweets).
I can eat something sweet after every meal.
I am saying yes to chocolate (a little) or Hichews.
I can cheat on weekend evenings, we'll see how that goes.

Weigh-in: 122.8 lb

lost so far: 7.2 lb

still to go: 0.8 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

Hmm interesting. Took a bunch of weeks off thanks to my vacation in Costa Rica, parents taking over my life when they came here for my sister's graduation and tryout weekends.... and the weight has been pretty much stable since the last weigh in. I mean, I have been exercising but not really watching the diet at all. Pretty good!

I would ideally like to be less than 120lbs, so maybe it's time to start up with the diet again.

Weigh-in: 122.6 lb

lost so far: 7.4 lb

Alright, tried to eat more for the past 4 days (Thurs - Sun). This weekend was a double frisbee tryout weekend so I ran around a ton. I also ate a lot.

I am upping my RDI to 1800 a day. According to fatsecret, my calculated RDI for being very active and losing 1lb a week should be 2000. We'll try 1800 first. While I had set it at 1580 before, I almost never stuck with that averaging around 1624 instead. I'll do an experiment for this week where I try to eat more and see if I gain, lose or stay the same. Hopefully this works!

You know how they say people's weight can fluctuate 3-5 lbs? I feel like that might be the case. I have a feeling my weigh-ins' downward trend might be just water weight. Which sucks!

So, according to my food/exercise journal, yeah I have gone over 1580 calories a lot of the time, but the net calories are down. By a lot! And yet I am not losing that much weight! I've been eating quite well - much better than before (a lot less sweets and chips) and exercising and being active pretty much daily. I even stand at work now. I have been recording just about everything I do plus every single thing that passes my lips. Perhaps the calories burned part is inaccurate? Perhaps my metabolism is just very slow for my height and weight. Perhaps I overestimate serving sizes?

The fact that it says my net calories SHOULD be down by a lot and the fact that I am not losing weight like I should be is saying something. I probably will need to reduce my perceived calories down to 1400 or so to actually lose something. GRRR.

Innnteresting article. Is it a possibility that I am eating too little for how much activity I do!?! Is that why I lose weight on vacation eating more (I chalked that up to the better quality food in other countries than in the US)??!!! Maybe next week I will up my daily calories to 1700-1800 and see how that goes. I am just afraid it will just make me gain instead.

I knew 122 was a bit of a fluke, since it was after a tournament after all. The good part is that my weight is still in the 122-range. =) Will weigh in again on Monday or Tuesday. Fat% is 18.7 (down .1 from 18.8), which I know isn't that accurate in the mornings but that's the only time I see it.

Spent the last few days eating quite badly (not really quality, but quantity-wise). I am just so tired despite getting enough sleep for some reason and my co-worker is convinced I have a B12 or Iron deficiency. It's making me eat out of tiredness. When I drank a 5-hour energy, which is loaded with B12, I felt much better but this could be because it had a cup of coffee's worth of caffeine in it too...I will take some supplements and see if it goes away! If not, I'll see a doctor about it.

So my goals for the week are:
- Try to increase the amount of protein I eat to at least 100g a day, aiming for 120-125g.
- Try to reduce the amount of carbs I eat to 150-175g a day, aiming for 125 g. Last week I found this impossible but I think it can be done if I bring protein shakes for snacks instead of pretzels.
