Yay Kim and Sinead... now let's see you two set up some training logs!

Today's numbers:

Calories: 1540
43% carb
25% fat
32% protein

Notes to self:

Be more mindful of sodium... I had no clue that fat free salad dressing had so much... 350 mg in just 2 tbsp! Cottage cheese also has a lot... 459 mg in 1/2 c. Yowza. Gotta have the cc for protein, though.
Today I had BOTH a Fiber One bar and a Kashi Trail mix bar.... not a good thing. Too many carbs. I need to get more of my carbs from fruits and veggies... not enough of those today.
I probably need to rethink my breakfast of choice... although I love my Kashi cereal, it has a LOT of carbs and quite a bit of sodium too. At the very least, I need to substitute other breakfast choices (like eggs) and have the Kashi less often. Live and learn.

Definitely need to work on the ratios still, but I must say that I really wasn't that hungry today, and as long as I'm hitting the calories I'm OK with that!

I decided to screw the waiting and just dive right in to the program this week LOL.... I'll start with my strength program tomorrow! I never have been one to be patient!

Seriously, though... I'm a little apprehensive about doing the training on my own. This is a big step for me, as I've worked with my trainer for a year and a half now. We discussed it, and he wants me to give this program my full attention and effort to evaluate it properly, so we're going to stop working together for the time being. (I only work with him once a month anyway... but still.) So, although I'm kinda sad... I'm super excited to be starting this program!!
