What can I say except that I floated through the month relatively unscathed, losing a few pounds but not enough as I would have liked.
March Average Totals:
- 2489 Calories
- 152 Net Carbs
- 24.5% of Total Calories
- 4 pounds lost to 260
I'm happy that I held my own, didn't gain, actually lost a few pounds, and was able to withstand enormous personal issues that could have derailed me. For the most part I ate a moderately low carb diet, stayed positive, and got back on track quickly when giving in to temptation. For that I am thankful.
I must note a few things negative. First of all, I didn't keep my total carb intake to under 20%, which accounted for less weight loss. Secondly, I didn't stay away from fast food place places, favoring McDonald's as my junk food place of choice. Thirdly, I ate too much wheat. Finally, I didn't work out enough. Exercise alone isn't a major factor for my weight loss, but it keeps me sane, and the overall benefits of exercise are worth the effort.
April Goals:
- No fast food visits
- Total net carbs < 20%
- Work out 4 times/per week
- No wheat
While I cannot brag about March, I'm not discouraged. I'd like to see if I can get down below 250 pounds which would thrill me greatly. If I can also get in a few 3 mile runs this month, that would be a small victory too. Have a great April!
