Week 1
Apr 13, 2015
Hello All,
I am wrapping up the end of week 1. I must say that I know I can do better! I endulged in some drinking as well as eating lasagna. Also, I hve been keeping track of my calories using Lose It app on my android phone. I have been averaging about 1500 calories a day (by purposely eating healthy). However, I think I wanna aim for 1300 calories a day, so That's what my aim is for this week. Although I did not put forth 100% in my weight loss effort, I have managed to weigh 260... that's -8 lbs, in a week? Hmm.... It could contribute to a number of things... First, clothes are up to +5 lbs added to your weight. In addition, time of day is a contributing factor. You tend to weigh less in the morning, about 3 lbs lighter. Also, I used 2 different scales. So tomorrow, I will be getting on the medical scale and see what my official weight loss number is, that is after I pee and poop.
As far as exercise goes, I hardly did any. This is because I simply could not make time! UGH!!!! But, I did some research and I finally found a gym that is relatively close, and provides up to 2 hours of daycare service! It offers classes and this gym, I am hoping, is less crowded because it is in a smaller city. We are going today, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!! I want to do one hour of cardio 5 times a week, strength training 3 times a week, and take as many steps as I possibly can. This may be a lot, so I hope I'm not overwhelming myself. We will see how this goes.
Big thanks to obesityhelp.com Even though its only been a week, I feel like I can reach the sky! Thanks for your support.
