Ok, who is tired of being over their desired weight? Thick in the middle for me.
I am!
In Oct, my husband bought us fitbit. We love it. It is helping me figure out how many calories to burn each day and how many calories to eat each day, to get down to my desired size.
I actually lost 5 pounds before the holidays and now gained it all back.
Darn. Now I have to figure out how I did that and do it again.
I lowered how many calories intake. I thought I would be starving. But I figured out, the more you move and excises, the more calories YOU GET TO EAT EACH DAY.
I stepped up working out at the Y to one hour at least 5 days a week.
As the day begins I only have 922 cals to each! Yikes. But if I go to the Y or walk or workout at home, I get more cals to each.
My goal is to walk 10,000 steps each day. My fitbit says I do an average of 960 steps per day.
What do I eat?
Yesterday I ate, Kind b'fast bar and coffee for b'fast.
Orange for a snack
Lunch was 1/2 Turkey Patty, with 1/2 slice of cheese and 1/4 cup of cottage cheese.
Snack was fist full of mixed nuts.
Dinner was Ruby Tuesday BQ Chicken with grilled veggies. Total 460 calories.
Snack before bed was popcorn and 3 squares of dark chocolate.
I felt very satisfied. But again, I got to eat that way because I worked out and walked 10,000 steps that day.
According to may scales this morning, I'm back down to my 5 pounds loss before the holidays.
I want 5 more to lose.
I know it doesn't sound allot to many people, but I have never had to lose weight. So I'm learning how it works.
Goals:
Water, 34 oz per day
Walking, 10,000 steps per day
breads, once a week
fried foods, once a week
soft drink or ice tea, once a week
desert, once a week
high protein, daily
low carbs, daily
work out one hour at least 5 days a week.
Cal intake, depends on how much I work out, ruffly 2000 per day.
It is a life style. We can do this.
