Diet

I've been on a serious diet since mid March, I was inspired by someone on a message board documenting their program in a thread. I pretty much eat the most boring things ever, counting calories, cutting waaaay down on the carbs, smaller portions. Here's a typical day of food for me:

5:15am - 1 cup cooked oatmeal (plain) with 1/4 cup raisins, 16oz black coffee
8:30am - 1 apple
12:00pm - Spinach salad, balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing, 6 oz chicken breast
2:00 pm - 1/2 whole wheat pita with 1 tbsp all natural peanut butter
4:30pm - 1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
6:30pm - 6 oz grilled chicken, steamed green beans, 3/4 cup brown rice
8:30pm - 1 square 70% dark chocolate
Water all day long

I give myself one cheat meal a week, usually involves pasta or pizza and beer haha. I've lost about 17 pounds in the six weeks that I've been on the diet, not a whole lot of exercise due to work, band, housework time constraints. Not bad. The only thing is I've been burning off muscle with the fat so now my challenge is to try to bulk up while still staying lean. I hit my goal weight last week and I think my body is getting accustomed to this, gonna have to change things up to confuse it.
