These are the meal plans/records that I have ACTUALLY eaten each day since starting this blog. If I ate something extra, I’ve added it in. Most of them are still within 1,000 calories per day :)
On day 7 I’ll weigh in for the first time and let you know the progress. Starting weight was 132lbs.
I need 2,029.1 calories each day in order to maintain that weight. So I’m shooting for a 1,000 calorie deficit each day. 3,500 calories to a pound means 2 pound per week loss :)
