Day 5: Made It Through The Work Week

Happy Friday! I never thought I would make it through my first "week". Yes, it's only the fifth day, but I made it through the work week without any casualties. What an accomplishment!

I made a fresh breakfast, before I bolted out the door. I was nearly late for work, I had a minute to spare. Typically I arrive to work at least ten minutes ahead of time. Breakfast is still something that I am working on. Reminder: before I didn't eat anything until 1 pm. Such an adjustment.

Lunch was the typical, what I had the last two days. Even my co-workers noticed, oh well! It was my last portion that I had saved in the freezer. I elected for watermelon as my snack, the same as previous days.

Today, for a change, I did my workout pre-dinner. It was a sweat-inducing cardio session, but I managed to make it through the entire workout. For dinner, I finally made the chili that I talked about making several posts ago. Sometimes I like to pick up things from the grocery store, but I run out of time during the week to make them. Anyway, this chili that I made was pretty good - each portion came out to 1 green container, 1 1/2 yellow containers, and 2/3 red container. Portions were pretty large too - 2 cups!

After my workout, I did a quick weigh on the scale. Pleasantly, I have lost another pound from yesterday evening. I have been keeping track using the 21 Day Fix app. I do not see any noticeable loss, but that is to be expected this early in. Overall, I am down 7 pounds and I look forward to sticking with this lifestyle change!

Here is a quick diagram that I computed this evening of the loss so far:
