New start!

I walked for 25 miles yesterday which I am pretty proud of (and it was so much fun) but I ate lots of cake and carbs. I was 128lbs this morning.
I've just started writing a new meal plan based on 800 calories a day. It's actually quite a decent amount of food if you think about it and calculate it carefully.
For example, here is my plan for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week:


I have 30g porridge with 20g protein powder added every morning (made with water) which is 180 calories.

Then for lunch I'll have a quorn chicken sandwich or cream cheese salad sandwich which is 210 calories. With that I'll have some fruit (not banana) equalling 40-70 calories and sometimes some salad type things (e.g. celery, cherry tomatos, bell peppers etc, about 20-30 calories).

Then dinners I can pretty much adapt most things to (I'm a vegetarian so the calorie content of meat is not an issue although I pretty much avoid cheese as it takes up too many of my calories).

Monday - 2 quorn sausages, 100g instant mashed potato with spring onion mixed in, 80g mixed vegetables (224 calories), soya vanilla desert (100 calories), 100g frozen grapes (60 calories).

Tuesday - Potato and egg salad (supermarket bought = 173 calories), french fries (or any other low calorie crisps = 97 calories), fat free rasberry yogurt (77).

Wednesday - Ratatouille (164), 100g cucumber sticks (10), soya vanilla desert (100), 100g frozen grapes (60).

My goal for this week is to be 120/122 by next sunday (2nd May 2010).

Oh and exercise will consist of (depending on time as I have A LOT of other social commitments and revision for summer exams): 1-2 hour gym workouts x 3 or 4 a week, 30-45 minutes of swimming x3-5 a week, 2 hours ice skating once a week, 30 minute runs x2-4 per week, other sports/activities i.e. climbing/training (usually 2-4 hours) = once a week.

That's actually quite a lot of exercise - it equals to a minimum of 9.5 hours per week and doesn't include my 5-10 mile walks which add another 1-2 hours per day. So this week I'm going to be exercising at least 2/3 hours per day, PHEW! Oh and I'm going yo try out an exercise to music class this week (i.e. aerobics) to replace the gym sometimes in order to get a bit more variety.

Wish me luck!
