Arielle's Exercise and Diet Diary - Week 2

Hello Gather Friends and Happy Wednesday!  In ONE week it will be July 4^th and you will all probably be relaxing on a nice day off with family and friends!  As I mentioned last week, I am on a strict diet and exercise plan.  I see a nutritionist once a week (or at least I try depending on scheduling) and I see a personal trainer 3 times a week for a half hour.  I also try to get to the gym one other time during the week to get in straight cardio.  This is the second installment of my diet and exercise diary.  I want to mention that I will not being seeing my nutritionist again until July 10 due to scheduling so I won’t have an updated weight for you until then, however, below you can find what I’ve been eating and hopefully you will get new ideas to help you through your healthy lifestyle!

So there you have it: my diet for this past week.  Based on my own scale, it seems as though I lost about 3.5lbs since my last visit with the nutritionist however I won’t know for sure what my weight is until the next time I visit her on July 10.  My pizza and Pepsi was bad last night for dinner however I had been craving it for a couple of days so I decided I’d better give into the craving before I wait to long to give in and end up eating it every night for a week.  I’ll spend a lot of time at the gym this weekend since I’ll have plenty of time, and of course, I’ll eat healthy.

If you have any tips or suggestions, please share them and I hope that this diet and exercise diary gives you all ideas on how you can live a healthier lifestyle!!!!!! 

Remember to have a fantastic week and make the right choices!
