Week 18 - Friendly Competition

First off I did skip 'Week 17' as I had mentioned trying to maintain my weight for a bit, although I wasn't eating very healthy and I honestly starting feeling a bit 'blah', bloated, and having acid re-flux issues (probably from eating out a bit more than I should have). However, I did actually meet someone this past week and as it turns out he is also on the weight-loss bandwagon... although we both have a few slight differences in terms of how we go about losing weight as he tends to workout more, while I tend to diet more. We are both very close in terms of weight as he is currently 211lb at 5'9 in height and I'm 206.8lb at 5'4 in height, and we are only like a year apart in age. So while he claims his weight hasn't really changed in 3 months and I haven't been very strict on my dieting recently I feel like we are almost closely matched. So I asked him to a little friendly competition to see who could try and lose the most weight over the course of a week (woot, motivation!!) and he accepted my challenge.

Here's a rough idea of what my daily diet looked like this week...

Breakfast
Overnight Oats (Natural Oatmeal, Maca Powder, Ashwagandha Powder, Crazy Richards Peanut Butter, Golden Raisins, Organic Saigon Cinnamon, All-Bran Cereal, Organic Honey, and 1% Milk)

Lunch
Sweet Potato (Sweet Potato, Olivio Butter, and Pink Salt)
Ezekiel Bread (2 Slices)

Dinner
Salad (Baby Spinach, Bacon Ranch Dressing, Mozzarella Cheese, Avocado, Pink Salt, Chicken, and White Pepper)

Snacks
Choco Love Dark Chocolate (A few pieces)
Lite Chocolate Soy Milk (1/2 to 1 Cup)

After a week I still didn't eat overly healthy and in the end I had only lost like 0.3lb although after the first day of dieting I had dropped 2lb, and my friend maybe dropped a pound but it really didn't seem like either of us tried that hard. Always next week... but my blood pressure did go up to 127/76 so I really do need to get back on the healthy train.
