Week 1

So, this is the official start of my new "diet." I can eat anything I like (within reason) as long as it fits within my macros: 74 grams of Carbs, 69 grams of fats and 168 grams of protein. My goal is to also stay under 1600 calories, but secondary to counting my macros. After counting my macros for most of last week, as practice, I found out that it is going to be super hard to keep it at 74 grams of carbs. I didn't realize just how carb heavy my normal diet is! Here is a link to a macros calculator, if you are curious to see what your suggested macros are!

I spent most of Sunday, meal prepping. I made 10 meals and put them in Tupperware in the fridge. There are no excuses for not eating healthier now! I also bought a large bag of beef jerky and split it up into 2 oz snack baggies. I boiled some eggs for quick and easy snacks, full of protein along with snack sizes of cottage cheese. I am trying to set myself up for success.

My first weigh-in day will be this Friday. May the odds be ever in my favor.

Part 2:
Watching my diet, aka counting my macros, is just part of the equation. I need to exercise. I will be doing 1 month of Beginner HIIT Workouts. It can be found on Amazon Prime Video:

It's only 10-20 minutes, I can do them while the dogs eat breakfast and use feeding the horses as a cool down. Yay for working out in the comfort of your own living room!
