Hi. I'm LK. This blog is to just to show my progress through my weightloss journey. I've gotten off track and back on track so many times that my Starting Weight constantly changes, but your weight is just a number. It doesn't define you or your health, so don't worry about it too much. Focus more on being healthy and happy and loving yourself. :)
Breakfast - 1 egg with a slice of wheat toast and honey + milk - 287 calories
Snack 1 - Spinach + berries + banana + protein smoothie - 306 calories
Lunch - Grilled chicken + half of a ear of corn on the cob + 1 tbsp of mango chutney + half a roti - 225 calories
Snack 2 - Quaker granola bar + 1 square of hersheys milk chocolate. - 132 calories
Dinner - Tyson chicken breast tenders + half of a samosa chaat - 366 calories
Exercise - walking at a speed of 3 and incline of 4 for 30 minutes - burned 218 calories
Comments - Well, first of, I didn’t do a diary entry for July 4th because I stopped keeping track after lunch I think.
So breakfast was good cut down my bread and added a drizzle of honey because it tastes better and I have a sweet tooth. Snack 1 was ehh. I’m not going to add the protein next time. It made the whole shake taste gross, but I got veggies and fruit in. Lunch was fine. Nothing special…that chicken was small so I had to eat a little of what my mom was eating. Snack 2 was fine with me. Snack 2 is usually my processed snacks and not too healthy but in moderation. I had a square of chocolate and no regrets because I didn’t eat the whole bar. Dinner was bad. My sister bought some food and I ate her leftovers and chicken. Not too many calories but I doubt it was healthy. Actually I’m not even sure if the calorie intake is right. Its hard to tell whats in indian food and whats not. Sorry about that.
As for exercise, increasing the incline made it harder so I only did 30 minutes with taking a break. My legs were hurting. Hopefully I can increase the time to 40 minutes soon :)

Friday Jul 7 @ 02:44pmSo I decided to start my food and exercise diaries again only instead of just listing what I ate today and what workout I did, I’m going to write a “diary entry” on how I feel about my health/fitness today and keep you guys updated.
Breakfast -1 egg omelet w/ onions and seasoning, 2 slices whole wheat bread, and 1 cup of milk. - 327 calories
Snack 1 -A banana - 105 calories
Lunch -Deli chicken sandwich - 240 calories
Snack 2- Rice cake with 2.5 tbsp peanut butter - 297 calories
Dinner - 4 oz chicken breast, 3 oz baby carrots, 1 cup grapes - 239 calories
Other -I snacked on Ice breakers sours so I’d say like - 25 calories
Exercise - walked two miles on treadmill at speed 3 - burned 192 calories
Comments - Breakfast was good, but I’m going to cut down to one slice of bread instead of two. Snack 1 and Lunch I was fine with. Snack two had too much peanut butter. There was only a little left in the jar so I finished it. oops. hehe. Dinner was healthy but tasted disgusting. I forced myself to finish it. Then I had grapes to get the gross taste out of my mouth. I don’t know what to do about dinner though? Any tips? It was just really bland. I need to eat more veggies, but i really dislike veggies. I love fruits though. Not a big fan of veggies but I’ll try to incorporate them with fruits and make smoothies.
As for exercise, I felt ehh. I didn’t even burn 200 calories. Tomorrow I’ll increase the incline and see how big of a difference it makes.
If you have any constructive criticism be sure to put it in my ask or reply to this post. Goodnight.

Tuesday Aug 8 @ 11:12pmSo the last 2-3 weeks have just been embarassing.
I eat whatever I want and never exercise and gain back the pounds that i lost.
I’m 163 at this moment. I was 159.8 not too long ago.
I need to get back on track…. its hard though. I love food and not healthy food, junk food and sweets!
Well school starts tomorrow so I won’t be around food which is awesome. :)
But I NEED to get back on track. I NEED to start working out and eating healthy. I CAN’T give up.
