Week 2 review and plan for week 3

Weight
*Day 1: 131.4 lbs
*Day 8: 133 (+1.6)
*Day 10: 130.8 (-2.2, -0.6)
*Day 15: 127.8 (-3.0, -3.6)

Activity
*Average daily steps from day 8-14: 9,477 steps (goal is 10k/day. Close enough and nice save yesterday)
*Had planned to add some high intensity cardio in week 2 but didn't.
*Kick it up a notch in week 3 and maybe do some body weight exercise.

Food
*Average daily calories: ~1570 calories
*Good job tracking calories this week and lowering from the earlier runaway calories.
*I don't think anything needs to change. I had a bit of a popcorn binge but the 2 lb bag of popcorn is finished so I'll save a few hundred calories/day this week.

Thoughts
*Down 3.6 lbs in 2 weeks is fantastic! Especially coz I don't feel like I worked that hard. I'm pretty sure I ate at least an average of 2000/day in week 1 (based on my early week 2 tracking, plus I ate a lot of junk food)
*I reined things in in week 2 and lowered the intake and I think I'll try to keep it at 1700 or less in week 3.
*I exceeded my expectations in week 2, I'll try and keep the momentum going in week 3.
*Shooting for 2 lbs this week. I can definitely do a 1000 calorie deficit.
*The formula will be 10,000 steps minimum + Cycling + A hike or 2 + Limit junk to 2000/week

126.4 lbs - down 1.4 already this week. Not bad!

At this rate, I could be in the teens by end of May. Do not screw this up! No more sedentary days!

*A bit of guess work on the veggie calories. I made a huge pot of stew from 19 cups of veggies & lentils that will probably take 3 days to finish. Total was 1350 cals. I'm guessing I ate about 1/5 of the stew. So about ~270 for today.
