First Week!

So this is the first week....technically, but last week I tried my hardest to eat right and work out.  I did great until Friday evening and last weekend.  I was so hungry (or I thought I was hungry) and ate everything! And for some reason I associate football with unhealthy foods.  But I am back on track this week!  I received my meal plan last night and did fairly well with sticking to it today.  I am on a 1600 calorie diet which is based on three meals and three snacks.  I have been taking my supplements which include a multivitamin, protein shakes, an energy drink and a cleansing product.  On top of those I still am taking my b-complex vitamin, cinnamon supplement, and cayenne pepper supplement.  I started taking those a while ago because Dr. Oz said they help with your metabolism.  I was tracking my caloric intake in my food journal, but was told about myfitnesspal.com and now have converted to using that.  It is a very easy to use internet site (and app for a smartphone if you have one) that tracks your caloric intake and your excercise.  The best part of it is that you can set up your goals and customize your caloric intake, and fat, carb, and protein intake.  I set this all up based on the meal plan received from Max Muscle.  The best part of using myfitnesspal.com is that at the end of the day when you submit your information, it says "If every day were like today, you would weigh ### in 5 weeks."  It feels good to see a number closer to where you want to be and gives extra motivation to keep chugging along.  Tomorrow will be my first day at the gym to use their weight lifting equipment.  I am meeting a trainer to show me how to "properly" use the equipment.  I will let you know how it's going later this week.  Until then....healthy eating!
