Day 8 - One week in

I don't know whether to be happy about my one week results. Taken 4 days after my initial weigh-in,  I lost less than 2 pounds, and I'm up 2+ pounds from my lowest measured weight after that (3 days earlier). I can't congratulate myself too much. But there are 1-3/4 inches lost, and over 6 pounds from the weight I think I started at. And those results aren't bad at all.

Here are the numbers:

                          Last Week                  Today                     Difference

Weight    242.5 (est)   235.8       -6.7 lbs

%BF        31.5% (est)   31.3%      -0.2%

BMI        29.7 (est)    28.9       -0.8

Biceps     25.75         25.75

Waist      45            44.5

Hips       42            41.5

Thighs     42.75         42

Total     155.5         153.75      -1.75 in

What happened? I think my screw-up with yesterday's eating (skipping my AGG and dinner, then eating 500+ calories of off-plan nuts right before bed) messed me up more than my cheat day! Well, live and learn.

So, I was very good today, to make up for it a little bit. I drank over 3L of water and seltzer (my preferred method of drinking water) and had 2 mugs of black coffee.

Here's what I ate:

Breakfast

Typical breakfast for me these days: Baby spinach sauteed in coconut oil, with lentils and 2 organic eggs.

Lunch

Mixed spring greens salad with 4.5 oz of sliced rotisserie chicken and lentils marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette.

Dinner

Steamed brocolli and black bean and beef chili, and a side of coleslaw (made with homemade olive oil sugar-free mayo). And I had seconds on the coleslaw.
