back to it!
I admit, I have slacked off. To the point that I just haven't been doing anything at all.
I started drinking soda again :-(
Starting over. right now.
I didn't gain any weight, which is good. I can tell the difference in my body's health though when I eat well and exercise compared to when I don't.
Weight loss takes a long time if you are doing it the right, healthy way. Your bound to mess up, or give up a couple times. The good thing is, when you give up and go back to your old ways, its not too long before you realize why you wanted to lose weight and be healthy in the first place.
So today I have done well, had my Kashi cereal, lots of water, a nice banana. Doing well. Exercising seems to be the hard part. The weather is nice and there is no reason I shouldn't be doing my cardio. So my goal is to do cardio 4 times a week and strength training 3 times a week.
I am so close to my goal I can taste it!
I'm way proud of you. YEAH!
ReplyDeletejust read an article that tells you how to calculate how many calories you need per day to maintain your weight. It's called your Resting Metabolic Rate, or RMR and it goes like this:
ReplyDeleteRMR= 655 + (4.35 x your weight in pounds) + (4.7 x your height in inches) - (4.7 x your age)
So mine is 1574 calories per day. Now, this doesn't factor in your activity level. So if on an average day I burned 200 calories, I'd need 1774 to maintian my weight. Removing 15% of your RMR calories (-266 in my example) should trigger weight loss.
Cool, eh? Now I finally know what my calorie goal should be!
