So ever since I started CNA training Ive been struggling to lose weight. I set myfitnesspal to help me lose 2lbs a week but in actuality it has gone down to 1 lb a week. I dont exactly know what is the problem. Along with CNA class, Ive been drinking protein shakes to see if I could regrow hair (Yeah thats sort of a long story with that, I might end up posting it). I am pretty sure the reason my weight loss has slowed is because of my current eating habits, which I will outline for my reference:
Wake up between 11:30 am -12 pm on most weekdays
Have a small snack before working out. (Usually whatever junk food I can find in the cabinet, bad I know)
Work out
Have post workout meal: Usually consist of either fish sticks and a veggie burger or I go out to eat if I have time and a few sips of my protein shake
Go to school
While on brake at school: Finish drinking rest of protein shake and an orange.
Depending on how much will power I have that day: Eat nothing the rest of the night after coming home from school (Around 8pm) or eat whatever I can find, chips, rice and something my mom cooked that day, or if I really lack will power, eat out (But if I already ate out that same day, I dont do this option)
So on most days I have one meal only once, and it is usually a big meal. My walking habits have changed though. Before I would be able to walk enough to burn off 1,000 (Roughly 21,000 steps) but because of time constraints I can only go up to 500 calories (roughly 12,000 steps). As you can see from the outline, I still workout most days.
Now you might say 1 lb a week is still pretty good but the thing the is bugging me is that before when I set myfitnesspal to lose 2 lbs a week, I would lose 2 lbs a week. I am sort of afraid to set it back down to 1 lb a week because I might end of stalling or gaining weight.
So it seems like I will need to do some readjustment in my diet somewhere
Tomorrow: Fat Burning Cardio and AB Sculpt
Keep On Dreamin
