An Epic Day Two!

Well the results are in from day two of my little hacking experiment. So lets get to the breakdown:

The day starts with
+ 1 Fruit smoothie (milk, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
+ 1 multivitamin right after I got to work
+1 Banana as a Mid afternoon snack
+1 Second multivitamin of the day (Pro Grade for men)
+5 Gym session Weights plus Half an hour on the bike and 15 minutes on the elliptical.
-1 Bowl of pizza flavored Goldfish crackers(no point always being healthy)


Grand total +8

Notes:

Formerly breakfast was a bowl of oatmeal before work. in a rush dunkin doughnuts or mcdonald's breakfast sandwich probably once a week.
Snacks included  mid morning and mid afternoon vending machine runs (chips or Popcorn) frequent pretzels and candys from a lot of different offices around work.

Lunch was alway picked up somewhere two pieces of pizza and a 20 soda, medium value meal at wendy's, Mcdonalds or Burger King, a sub from a deli, buffalo chicken wrap maybe. couple times a week a small sandwich and chips. and there was always atleast 12 ounces of pepsi(#1 guilty pleasure) with every lunch.

Dinner was a crap shot but usually high in calories, big plates of pasta, subs, take out,   with some snacks and beer most nights between work and bedtime. but I have always worked out 3-5 times a week. whether its a hockey game, working with a personal trainer or going to the gym myself.

not many fruits and vegetables on that list they were few and far between

New Strategy:
Start the day with a smoothie of mixed fruits that way I get some healthy early, then move that oatmeal to 9:45am to prevent the morning snacking,

At lunch making the move to replace my can of Pepsi with more water and trying Mio to replace the taste while reducing calories. also more sandwiches on sandwich bread instead of a sub and no side of chips.

Mid afternoon a banana for a snack maybe string cheese in the future.

Dinner home cooked meat and a side this might be where I find my first vegetables. Haven't had one in days apparently...
