Days 15 & 16 - On track and first challenge

Day 15 - didn't weigh in and decided to hold off for a week before checking in since I'm upping my calories so much (I didn't want to get discouraged)
Did pretty good food wise about 2100 calories (slightly less than what I'm supposed to have on an active day)
Food:
Pre workout dry bagel flat and skim milk early morning (that is tough for me to get up early to do anything - so kudos to me)
Post workout - oatmeal (only 2nd time in life I've tried oatmeal and I don't really care for it, but I will learn to like it like I did raw spinach :) )
Snack: Orange, mozzarella stick
Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwich on whole wheat w/ lettuce, pretzel sticks, FF pudding
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Turkey burger with cheese on whole wheat bun, big green salad
Evening snacks: Garden Herb triscuits (OMG you only get 6 for 120 calories) w/ laughing cow cheese, FF fudgcicle, Cereal w/ Skim milk.  I was actually struggling to get the calories I did.

Activity: WATP 2 mile walk 30 minutes using the resistance band till it broke (it was really old) so back to 2lb dumbbell next time.

I accepted a challenge to drink one gallon of water per day this weekend. Doing good so far and only been to the restroom 4 times since 8 am lol its about noon now. giggle.

Day 16
At the shop all day for a class and then an event so I packed my cooler today.
Foods when I can get them today (shooting for 1800 as there will be no exercising today)
2 egg whites and 1 yolk, tomato juice, 1 c. OJ, oatmeal, sandwich, lean cuisine ravioli, steamed veggies, 1 oz dark chocolate, apple, mozzarella stick, yogurt and granola, almonds and 1 gallon of water.

Tomorrow: I start my strength training wooo hoooo :)
Oh and I couldn't help it I stepped on the scale in the middle of the night and I had gone back to 236.4. sigh  okay okay.  Then checked again later this morning post shower and it was back to 232.4 Not bad about where I was at the beginning of the week.  My body will take time to adjust to the increase in calories and then I'll be hitting the exercising hard starting tomorrow and hope to start seeing some real results soon :)
