State of my Diet
Well, I finally got around to adding up the nutritional values for my diet. I just used today’s diet plan, so maybe other days differ. Here’s what I got:
58 grams of carbs (27%)
111 grams of protein (52%)
20 grams of fat (21%)
860 calories
Wow, I hadn’t realized it was that little. I am kind of glad I didn’t add it all up before I went on the diet, otherwise I doubt I would have even attempted it. Actually, I did cheat a little — I had more lettuce, green beans, and asparagus today than the diet called for. So push it to closer to 900 calories.
My energy level has been pretty normal. I’m drinking lots of water, and still exercising. Today I played an hour and a half of tennis (though I was admittedly feeling a bit dizzy after intense points). Yesterday was an hour and a half of TKD (primarily high kicks and jumping kicks). Friday I did a Power 90 (phase 3-4) cardio workout (40 minutes), 6 minutes of a good ab workout, followed immediately by an hour and a half Hapkido class. On Thursday, I slacked and only did physical therapy (which takes nearly an hour and a half). Wednesday (the first day of the diet) was an hour Hapkido class, an hour of TKD teaching, followed by an hour of an advanced TKD class (lots of jumping).
I’d better lose weight on this diet with everything I’m doing. Frankly, I should be able to lose weight even if I double everything I eat. Today I weighed in at the same weight as yesterday. Only one more day on the diet, and hopefully my body hasn’t kicked itself into starvation mode.
