I'm SICK and tired of being overweight. So, I've decided to do something about it! Starting today, I'm going on a modified Atkins diet- and adding 60 mins of exercise a day. I will be blogging my journey here. My first major goal is to lose 30 lbs. by my 30th birthday- October 29th.
Today marks day one.
So far, I've eaten two eggs with shredded Cheddar cheese, coffee (I read it's better NOT to cut coffee from the equation if you're a big time drinker I've cut back though) and now I'm drinking tons of water. So it begins. I won't be able to exercise tonight the way I was hoping as I pulled my back this weekend and don't hink lifting weights tonight would be a good idea. I do intend on taking a walk this evening though. Also, I will be taking a Vitamin D supplement daily to combat the "first two weeks" foul mood. I'm super excited about this and I'm ready to become a healthier Wendi! Wish me luck. (Oh I did weigh myself, but that's between me and the scale.)
Food for the day:
Breakfast:
two eggs with shredded Cheddar cheese, coffee (I read it's better NOT to cut coffee from the equation if you're a big time drinker I've cut back though).
Lunch:
1 can of tuna with 1 tablespoon light mayo
1 slice of cheese
Snack:
slice of cheese
handful of sunflower seeds
Dinner:
Small steak with mushrooms
green beans
cottage cheese
1 sm. glass of light cranberry juice

It would be a good idea to take some calcium supplements, too, in light of your back injury. In order to combat my osteoporsis, I am taking calcium with Vitamin D.
