Things are getting into rhythm, and my body is slowly losing weight now. I consider the first 4-5 lbs of rapid weight loss to be mostly water, since refined sugars and simple carbs tend to hold more, and that's what has been cut from my diet entirely.
While I have added some walking to my everyday routines this week, I expect to see a shift when I begin more serious workout routines daily, most likely another bigger drop followed by a small gain (muscle mass). Another great reason to go by weekly average than by day to day weight.
New daily additions as of sunday:
Situps/crunches, Pushups, Lunges: Starting with just 10 reps each, increasing by 2 each day until I find my perfect number, then maintaining. Its enough to get going, but not difficult to do.
Minimum of 30 min bellydance per day, 3-4 X per week, followed by weight training for 10-15 min (arms & shoulders, legs & butt, back, and chest all being worked on individual days)
Minimum of 30 min Zumba/Reggaeton/Other alternative exercise, 1-2 X per week.
1 day reserved for serious stretching
1 day off.
It should look something like this:
Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat
Belly Belly Other Belly Other Stretch Rest
Arms Legs Back Chest

Notes:
Protein goals: 1g per lb body weight per day, using target weight as min
Carb goals: between .9g and 1g per lb body weight per day, using target weight as goal, not to exceed protein. 80% coming from fruits & veggies; all other carbs (grains, starch, etc) being reserved for morning - early afternoon.
Fat goals: 15-25% of total intake, so roughly 40 grams or less per day.
CARB LOAD day 14, 21, 27:
increase ttl carbs by adding 500 kcal in carbs to regular diet, incorporating more whole grains; no empty cal carbs (drinks) or white pastas, etc. TTL PROTEIN should be around 60-70g on carb load days. Fats should remain 15-25% of diet. This gives a maximum caloric value of approximately 1600 kcal on carb load days. This is done to stabilize & reset metabolism. Prevents plateau

Day 3 and beginning to stabilize, which is what I need to see. My body is beginning to get back into fitness mode, so weight loss from this point should be no more than 2 lbs per week.
Side note: while I do weigh every day & record on this site, for my personal log, I take a weekly average. This accounts for slight miscalculations due to excess water, different time of day (though I try to always weigh at the same time), etc. Also, this is a much more reliable way to track where I'm at once I'm no longer trying to lose weight.

Day 2 (really day 3, but yeah, I never count the first one): Still lost more than I expected, so I can assume a lot is water weight. An hour walk in 100+ degree weather probably depleted my hydration levels in a hurry.
New set of goals: Use my couponing to start stockpiling on healthy travel essentials like protein bars, veggie packs, trail mix, whole grain oatmeal, etc. Keep a lookout for the perfect sized travel cooler to store the essentials.
