Week 1 Done

So for the past seven days I have been following the Dr. Goglia Quick Start Plan. Yes, I have broken down and started following a meal plan that is more detailed and structure then what I’m used to. I didn’t want to write anything until I had actually finished Week One. I thought the meal plan would had been a lot harder then what it was but it’s like Cooler 1 of the Clean Eat which but with a lot more calories. Also because I started training for my half marathon(s) I also have actually added in some more calories thru protein shakes (snack) and wheat bread (lunch). My Fitness Pal app keeps telling me that on my days of NO EXERCISE I am not getting enough (between 1100-1200)  but because I’m not doing any activity I don’t mind it that much.

Example of Dr. Goglia 21 Meal Plan

Regardless of your starting weight, take a multivitamin daily.

This is how I have been eating for the pass week and I haven’t had the dreadful HUNGER HEADACHES, I actually had the opposite where I have felt too full and have struggle with skipping my snack. So on days like that I would take my vitamins with an organic juice blend of tart cherry and pomegranate juice. This way I don’t dip low on my calories.

I can say that the first week is over and I have dropped a total of 8lbs (MOST OF THAT IS PURE WASTE&WATER) however, I do have more energy and am looking forward to the next week. This week may be kind of hellish since I will be returning to the run training for this week also.
