Starting Weight & Measurements

Today was my official starting day. I started my food journal, got my measurements & weighed myself this morning. Here's where I'm currently at:

Weight: 171.0

Measurements:
Arm 13.25"
Chest 41.25"
Waist 34"
Abs 39"
Hip 43.75"
Thigh 26.5"
My current clothing size is 10/12

My weight loss goals are to lose about 30-40lbs. & shrink all my measurements to a size 6! I have NEVER been a size 6 in my life! I always hit size 8 & get comfortable! This time I want to reach my goal! I plan to achieve this goal by watching my calories (approx. 1500-1550/day for this week to see what happens) and adding at least 45 minutes of cardio everyday & 1 hour weight training 2-3 days/week.

My food for the day was as follows:
Breakfast - 260
- Homemade Egg Mcmuffin (1 extra large egg, 1 lite wheat english muffin, ketchup), 210 calories
- 2 clementines, 50 calories

Mid-morning snack - 80
Reduced fat string cheese, 80 calories

Lunch - 500
-1 bowl homemade Chicken & veggie soup, 345 calories
-Tortilla chips w/ fresh, chunky salsa, 150 calories

Afternoon Snack - 100
- Melba toast w/ Laughing Cow lite cheese spread, 100 calories

Dinner - 495
-Homemade French Onion Salisbury Steak, 395
-Side Salad w/ reduced fat dressing, 100 calories

Desert/Evening Snack -100?
- Part of a chocolate chip cookie (my freaking fiance made them today!)

Daily Total: 1535

So, minus the cookie, today was a total success! I've already planned tomorrow so that will be too!
