Hi ya'll,
So last night after work I went to the gym and met my new trainer. Actually, I had TWO because one guy was just learning to be a trainer, so I had lots of attention, hee hee.
The trainer suggested that I go on "The Zone" Diet but I am not really sure about that. The meal plans I looked at online are really heavy with milk products and eggs, two things I def have to stay away from. I'm going to put in a call today and see how possible it is to do it without those things.
The training program he put me on is the circuit at the gym to start off with. I do 10 minutes elliptical, then go to the circuit. Then each weight machine you do for 30 seconds, and in between do 30 seconds of hard cardio. There are 12 machines. Then another 10 on the elliptical.
It's supposed to be fast and convenient so you can get in, get your workout and get out.
I am going back again today to finish the first part of the my introduction stuff (I think all my weight stuff and measurements and all that, yikes!).

So anywho, I burned 178 calories on the elliptical and I have no idea how many doing the machines.. So I'll just say 200 for now in total, 'cause I don't wanna go too high by accident.
That makes my food budget 2017 calories.

Breakfast: Luna Bar and Applesauce = 273 calories

Snack: Pretzels and 2 arrowroot cookies and 1 UFO = 170 calories

Lunch: Grilled chicken panini sandwich with roast vegetables. It had some pesto sauce on it, so I scraped some off to be safe but left a little on and was alright = 452 calories.

Snack: Diced peaches, juices drained and 1/2 a GeniSoy bar = 181 calories

Post-Workout: GeniSoy Protein Bar = 227 calories

Dinner: Cup of mini spirals pasta with some ICBINB and 1/4 cup of tomato sauce with mushrooms = 253 calories

Snack: Sunflower seeds and 3 UFO = 233 calories

Drinks: I had at least 8 cups of water and 2 cups of Rooibos tea.

Total Calories = 1789 which is within my calorie budget, and not toooooo low like before.

Cheers!
