I thought I would get a jump on things since I spent about an hour yesterday figuring my numbers.
Nutrition & Training - Round 1 - Week 1
Monday - 1400 calories, Training B, bike intervals
Tuesday - 1300 calories, Training A
Wednesday - 1400 calories, Training B, bike intervals
Thursday - 1300 calories, OFF
Friday - 1400 calories, Training C, walking
Saturday - 1300 calories, Training A
Sunday - OFF
(1300 calories is 35% of my calculated maintenance of 2000; 1400 is 30%)
I had to switch the training days around a bit (thanks again, Mybell!) because my gym is closed on Sundays.

Special Challenges:
1. Macros - these carbs are REALLY low for me but I don't want to take my fats too low either. I'll make adjustments as needed
2. Medications - particularly Prednisone, which is known to cause weight gain. I've been on it for 5 weeks now with one week off between weeks 4 and 5. I'm hoping this last dose will clear it up completely
3. I may have food allergies which could drastically effect my diet, depending on what they are. I'll get the test results back in about a week.
4. Not really special, but I LOVE food; I'm addicted to the taste of it and the experience of eating. I eat pretty healthy, just too much. Nutrition is always my Achilles heel when trying to lose weight.
Goal(s) for Week 1
1. Hit daily calorie level. I'll worry about hitting the macros once I adjust to eating less.
