Sorry, I missed doing my journal yesterday...I did fairly well on my calories...went right to the max yesterday with 100% of my RDI when I am aiming for 85%, but not bad...it has been a good week, so I am expecting some weight loss tonight at weigh in...
Anyway, I've been doing some research on healthy balanced diets...and the concensus seems to be for a mix of the following for caloric intake:
Carbs.....55%
Protein...15%
Fat.......30% with less than 10% being saturated fats
January ended up with the following for me:
Carbs.....47%
Protein...12%
Fat.......41%
So obviously I need to work on balancing this out...too many fats & not enough of the others...so now a little more homework and planning before implementation...February will be a better balanced month with more weight loss & energy...I'm really enjoying my exercising as well, so I get it now!! But I may need to move our exercise bike out of the TV room so that I don't have to wait for wifey to go to bed before starting my work out...the other part of the healthy puzzle is getting proper amounts of sleep everyday, and no 5hrs isn't the recommended amount of sleep...I will aim to increase this to 7 and see how that goes...then maybe aim for 8...
I still have to plan out meal choices and get buy in from my family, since my diet will affect them as well...being that I cook all the dinners in the house, they will all be on the same diet...
Later.
