It's been 2 weeks since my last update. Things are going slow...not how I want it to go, but it is going. Last week I had re-gained 2 lbs. from my last lose of over 9, so I was pretty bummed! I seem to be busy all the time and it has gotten hot and humid again...and yes these are excuses for not exercising the last 2 weeks!
I've re-lost that 2 lbs., so I'm holding steady at the weight I was 2 weeks ago, but I have to start getting that exercise into my routine. My goal this week is to walk 3 times. I need to get "my rear in gear"!!!
My goal is to only eat 1500 calories everyday, but it usually turns out to be about 1650-1700. I can live with that number, if I can get the exercise in, I know I will start dropping the weight, since 1700 calories is probably 1000 calories less than I was eating 3 weeks ago. If I can stay near that 1500 number, I allow myself a little candy every night...and believe me I want that candy!!! so I really try to stay at 1500 calories.
- Water is my friend. I have upped my intake from about 1 cup a day to 5-6 cups a day...some of them come in the form of crystal light, but not all. I'm remembering how much I like drinking water. I've cut a lot of bread from my diet. Burgers are usually bunless now and last night when I read the calories for a cup of couscous and realized that I couldn't eat that much in a sitting, really boosted my confidence.
- I think I'm doing alright. Even my friends are amazed that I'm sticking to the diet. They are VERY encouraging. Thank you friends and family!
