Day 7: Weigh in day

Day 7 weigh in had me down .5 lbs. I'm okay with a half a pound- I imbibed a little too much last weekend so I didnt anticipate any major progress.

Starting weight: 199.5
1st Weigh in: 199

Day 7 has me motivated to indulge a little less this week, and also ramp up my physical activity a little more.

Breakfast:
5am: granola bar
7am: high protein oatmeal
9am: orange
10am: leftover goulash
12pm: Quest protein bar, goldfish, and an apple
6pm: Breakfast burritos (ham, potato, egg in tortilla with salsa and a small amount of cheese), side of grapes

Approximate calories today: 1600
Exercise today: walked for 15 minutes and did 8 flights of stairs; arm curls (50 each arm) and some leg lifts.

One of the things I noticed last week is that I tried to do to much altering of my diet to quickly. I resulted in me feeling sick to my stomach and tired. I've cut back on making drastic changes all at once, because I dont think its sustainable. I continue to focus on cutting back on added sugar (soda junkie, here) and trying to find a good balance between carbs, fat, and protein. So far I'm noticing that I'm getting way more than my recommended amount of protein and not enough fiber.

My pants feel tight and I feed bloated today. Which is annoying.
