Ummmm….May 21 - June 11?
So - I kind of fell off the bandwagon for posting every day. The good news - I haven’t gained more than a couple ounces. The bad news? There is no way to get back to every day posting.
I ate a lot of food that last week of May. I was so hungry from my two May races & added activity. Things have slowed down. I am currently tracking calories (the horror) as I’m trying to lose 10 lbs before August 1. I have discovered that I really was consuming more calories than I thought, but not a ton. I’m not quite sure why I haven’t been at the least losing 0.2 lbs/week. I am on week two of tracking, and so far I have lost 1.2 lbs - bringing me back to 1 lb heavier than my last posted weight. So, in other words, lame.
I am trying really hard to concentrate on fruit/veggie intake, minimizing cheese & peanut butter, and instead of counting my alcholic beverages, I am trying for a ‘weekend & special occasion only’ plan. This is the first week. Since Sunday, I have had approximately .5 beers. So far, so good!
I am hoping that tomorrow’s weigh-in brings a visible loss - I’m trying for 1.5 lbs/week. I’m totally loving the Daily Plate with it’s chart that shows 1) how many calories you consumed; 2) recommended calories; 3) net calories (when exercise comes into play). I need to keep line #3 below line #2 every day - and so far this week, I’m doing well!
I think I will not go back to this being my daily food diary until I’m done tracking at Daily Plate, but I will go back to posting my weekly weigh-ins & any delicioso recipes that I come across/create. I would also like to start thinking about my food more, and will perhaps talk about that stuff here, so that anyone heading to gazelles on crack for shoes & corn won’t have to read about my crazy.
