Right...so after an awesome run this weekend and doing some weight training and honestly eatting right..my weight has gone up.
I am trying to attribute this to doing weights for the last month and not having done them previously. I know that my body will retain some water when I do weights and I build muscle easily...but I don't want to say that's it, if I am truly gaining.. I tell ya.
So last night I decided to try writing out what I would eat in terms of calories for the week, then break it up. I figure this works for my running, so should work here too.
Today was set at 1800 cals which is lower than normal for me since I run so much..but I feel full:
6AM - 5 Mile Run, 20 Min Walk Breakfast: High protein oatmeal Walnuts Apple
Snack: String Cheese Cookie
Lunch: Beans, Onions, mushrooms, greens 2 Chicken meatballs Granola Bar
Snack: Yogurt 1 TBSP PB
PM: 2 Mile Run, 15 Minute Walk Dinner: Egg Beaters 2 Cups Whole Wheat Cereal Soy Milk
