Happy Healthy Me

Here is a look back at my weekend -

Saturday:I spent 4-5 hours at the mall so lots of walking there. My eating was on plan but did No official working out.

Sunday: Went to church & then to a bday party and thats where i had a small square piece of cake & 3 scoops of ice cream (ice cream is my weakness). I also had 3 bites of DH’s desert later that night as he did not go to the party. No workout for this day either. Other eating went well

Today………………

I plan on starting the bowflex today - I need to get in some weight/resistance training and definetly some ab work.

bfast: protein shake & 1 cup coffee w/5tbsp creamer = 333

snack: 1 hard boil egg = 77

workout: 30 min elliptical 1-6 level (working my way up adding a min to each level) and 30 min bowflex

I did this calculator thingy on the internet that tells you how many calories to eat in order to maintain or loose, it’s all based on weight, height and acticvity level.

My results: extreme loss 1608 calories a day normal /healthy rate 1857 calories a day                       maintain 2321 calories a day

In yesturdays post I mentioned I had been averaging 1967 calories a day which is only aprox a 100 calories over what the calculator thingy says to eat in order to loose. I think I’m doing pretty darn good and according to the scale I must be doing something right as I am down 1.4lbs this week

1. Believe in myself

2. Eat

3. Do some form of cardio everyday
