Be sure to adjust portion sizes to your own personal height and body frame.

Note: I do not suggest this week at all unless you put in the physical effort because there are a lot of high calorie foods. Remember I am on my feet a lot more and have increased my activity level so if you want to eat cheese burgers and french fries every day you have to get on your feet too.Also you may have noticed a higher calorie deficit this is because I increased my calorie budget for my increased activity level. Even though I have increased my budget it is obvious I hardly do go over the original budget which leads me to believe there is a middle ground I need to find when setting my budget. Also not I am on my period this week which probably explains the drastic weight gain, I hope. If you look back to this time last year though I was pushing over 320 lbs and wearing a size 3x 4x so I think I may be on my way down.
