Meh

Meh I say! I’ve been off the wagon again. I have been tracking my calories even though they are horrible. I’m finding a pattern — I usually fall of a week before my period. I need extra help during this time. I guess I can have my husband crack the whip during this time. I saw Oprah and Bob Green today. They had a show about people who’ve lost a lot of weight. I felt instantly inspired. This is great! I should have a folder or something full of inspirational stuff that I can look at and get back on track. I want to say it will have slim girls in it but i think it’s more effective to alter a pic of myself with the weight off so I have a very realistic pic I can personally relate to. BTW if you are wanting professional help weight loss, Jenny Craig is the most successful (no I’m not paid to plug them.).

Analyize Your Diet Situation

First you need to figure out how many calories your body needs to maintain the weight you have. I did it for sedentary and moderate activity  (I got 2200 & 2500) so I would get the calories for my slow days and workout days. Next you should take one of the numbers, 2200 for example and minus 500 from it for a loss of 1lb a week or minus 1000 for a loss of 2lbs a week. Keep in mind women should NEVER eat less than 1200 calories and 1500 calories for me! So minus the other number and you have the number of calories you should eat on workout and nonworkout days (my result was 1700 & 2000). It works well for me.
