I am starting a new diet journal after 4 weeks break. Again my goal is to maintain strict dieting discipline and to lose at least 10 pounds over the next 8 weeks.

My current stats are 5'10" and 176 pounds, estimated BF ~ 18%. I plan to eat ~ 1800 calories a day divided between 5 meals with a macronutrient ratio of 35:45:20 (protein:carbohydrate:fat).

I plan to lift weights twice a week with full body workouts and run 15 minutes daily. Unfortunately this is all that time permits at this stage.

My daily diet which I will follow includes:

Meal 1: Oats with 1 scoop of casein

Meal 2: Ham steak sandwich

Meal 3: Ham steak sandwich

Meal 4: Ham steak sandwich

Meal 5: Chicken breast, steam vegetables, lentils and cup of vegetable soup

If you have any advice or encouragement to give please don't hesitate to post.

Thanks for the comment. It's good advice!

I think I can handle ham sandwiches for lunch every day but dinner tends to get a little tiresome. Perhaps I can work out a different dinner menu to keep things going.

I broke dieting discipline today and consumed too much bread because I didn't feel like cooking.

287 calories burned.

Cardio:

15 minutes run

I broke dieting discipline again today. I couldn't sleep and felt I needed to eat something. It's really unacceptable and I am renewing my commitment today. I have to motivate myself to put the effort in to cook rather than snack on bread and butter. On the plus side I haven't been eating any real cheat food, so it's not a matter of cravings, but laziness.
 
DAY 9

1 day without cheating.

~1800 calories consumed.

287 calories burned.

Cardio:

15 minutes run
 
DAY 10

0 day without cheating.

~2500 calories consumed.

Again I broke discipline because I hadn't bought the proper foods. This is a problem I need to get on top of because I find once I begin to break discipline it's very difficult to renew my focus and get a good streak going again. Tomorrow I guess...
 
DAY 11

0 day without cheating.

~2500 calories consumed.

Today was a false start. I had no groceries for my prepared meals and I had to eat whatever I could find. No cardio either!
 
DAY 12

1772 calories consumed.

287 calories burned.

Cardio:

15 minutes run
