Calorie cycling
I have been toying w/the idea of using calorie cycling to help me stay on track. I found a website that factors in your weight, age, height and activity level to give you your suggested calories every day and I’m shocked to see that even on my “low” days it’s way more than I usually eat when I’m on plan. The suggestion is that 5 days a week I eat just over 1900 calories and the other 2 it is either 2100 or 2300. This is WAY more than I usually eat. Could the reason that my weight-loss stalled be b/c I’m not eating enough? It’s an exciting yet scary proposition. Has anyone else been told they weren’t eating enough and then increased their food and lost?
I have to take my son now to get blood work done but afterward I’m off to the gym. I’ll post more later.
PS–The bedroom looks awesome. I found some really cool artwork that makes everything come together. It should be in a freakin’ magazine!!!!!
7:30
The bedroom is FINALLY done, took a bit longer that I had planned. Once I have a chance to clean everything in there I’ll be happy.
I went to the gym and had to start on the bike b/c 2 ladies were on the treadclimbers. They made me laugh b/c it was 8 am yet they had their hair done, full make-up and snazzy workout outfits. Finally they went to lift weights so I had my machine all to myself and logged 45 minutes.
Progress toward workout goal: 142/250
I want to redo my bedroom!!
As far as the eating goes… that totally happened to me. When I first started gaining it was because of medicine I was taking and the quack ass doctor told me to eat a ridiculously low amount of calories and log a ridiculously high amount of miles (not minutes, miles. weirdo.) of cardio. I lost about 5 pounds. As soon as I upped my calories I lost. Maybe you should give it a try! My problem was that if I had a low day on a high day I would switch them out
It seems so strange to eat more to lose, but it works for so many people. Give it a try over a few weeks to see how it goes - it’s not always a really fast solution.
good luck
