30-Day Method Recap Day 1
Diet
I’m totally against the meal plan from yesterday. I hope that as the days go on they are more balanced. I used fitday.com to calculate the calories and % of carbs, fats, and proteins. The total calorie intake from morning until my 3:30 snack was 200 calories. Seriously! Only 200 calories. Between 3:30 and dinner my calorie intake was 992. That is a total intake of 1,192. Though the total calorie was acceptable to me the balance and breakdown are not what I would suggest to anyone, let alone someone starting a diet. The breakdown was 50% carbs, 30% fat, and 20% protein. Again not my ideal split as I like to see it heavier on the protein and less on the carb. Not to mention the protein came from dinner only. I actually seemed to run out of wind towards the end of the night and I feel it was because of this unbalanced diet for the day.
Exercise
I was extremely energized during most of the day (until the end as stated above). It was great to get back into the exercise and I really enjoyed moving my body. I could definitely feel my muscles throughout the day are not so sore that I’m having a hard time moving. Overall I was satisfied with the exercise plan.
30-Day Method Today’s Plan
Today’s Plan
My plan today is to repeat the same exercise as yesterday, working on my arms first and remembering to stretch. I would like to try to get in more of the cardio if possible. So on to today’s eating plan: Breakfast: Turkey Avocado Roll-Up with wilted Spinach. (I substituted turkey with chicken because that was what I had) At a glance, my thoughts are yeah more protein but spinach for breakfast? This should be interesting.
Lunch
Spinach Salad with Chestnuts. I think they wanted me to add water chestnuts. I’m not sure, but I don’t have them I may add some kidney beans for some added protein.
Snack: Cucumber Mint Relish. I don’t have a lot to say about this we will have to see how it tastes.
Dinner
Steamed Turkey Breast with Wilted Kale and Raisins (again I substituted chicken). This meal plan sounds a little more balanced, if I have a chance I will try to get the calorie intake on this as well.
Quick Morning Thoughts
I definitely could feel my outer thighs and glutes this morning so they definitely got some work yesterday. I timed the cardio sessions and they are indeed 10 minutes each. I was able to get through the first one jumping, bouncing, hopping, and all. During the second session, I decided to do the moves but with less jumping and incorporated my own dance moves. Not what she wants you to do but man I hate high-impact aerobics. 20 minutes is about all I’m going to do each morning for this week. I did the stretching first which felt wonderful. Hit my arms after cardio definitely works your shoulders and then follow up with the rest. I timed the muscle design portion and it takes 30 minutes if you are doing 20 reps each.
