Toni Bourlon's Notizen, 31 Aug 21

So, about 1250 calories yesterday & the scale dropped a bit, typical. I'm seeing an immediate problem with this eating plan I'm trying - it's expecting me to eat 6 - 7 oz of protein in one sitting, which is something I apparently cannot do! I measured out roughly 6 oz of chicken last night but probably only ate about 4 oz. Today I'm having about 3 oz with my salad for lunch. Also, breakfast was way higher in fat than I care for, but at least the protein's good.

But the hardest thing for me is the extreme reduction in chocolate! I didn't buy my usual bag of Dove chocolate squares for the office, & I'm all out. Well, I kid myself that I'll just have 1 or 2 after lunch, but some days I have a handful, like 6 or 7, which is like 300 or so calories that I don't typically record. Yesterday the protein shake was the only chocolate I had, same for today, yeesh! Not sure any weight loss is worth giving up chocolate for, but then again I realize I can't eat all the chocolate I want & expect to lose weight!😥

On a more positive note, I increased the weight again yesterday, using 15 lb dumbells for the deadlift, bench press, reverse lunge & bicep curls. I realize that's not a terrific amount of weight, but I'm a newbie at this, having been lifting for just a few weeks. Tonight I'll be doing ab work during American Ninja Warrior finals, which I recorded last night. It's amazing to me how much I use my abs to stabilize while doing things like tricep press & lat pulldown, really learning to brace instead of hollow my abs. And I think it's helping overall posture as well, more concious of when I slump, LOL! But I did struggle with the 15 lb dumbells, so it will be a few more weeks before I try another weight increase. Have a great day, everybody!
