Oh to be just overweight!

Time for more calories!  I am on the 1500 calorie plan now (as of today), but honestly I’m a tad nervous.  Ya know that feeling of not knowing if you can do something on your own without VERY specific instructions, but at the same time not wanting to do a lot of work to do it…yeah, I’m there.  Shame on me for being lazy in my “work” counting nutrition facts.  I need to start using fitday or something to calculate that for me.  I can’t do it myself and have a life…it’s too time consuming.  It was easier when I was keeping my menu pretty much the same, but this food program has me adding some new “staples” to my regular diet….yummy additions, I must say.  Anyway, I planned my menu then I realized we had some schedule changes, so then I had to adjust and it just got a little overwhelming balancing my food nutrients.  I can keep track of calories, but the other stuff was the challenge!  I’m going on fitday after I finish writing this to plug my food info in and hopefully get that under control. 

I’m super proud to report I am back down to 133.0 this morning; only a few pounds from my all-time low in January.  This time I’m going to make sure the 120’s stick!  I think that’ll have to wait until May (hitting the 120’s).  I’m not sure how the 1500 calories will change my weight loss.  Heck, maybe I’ll lose even faster….highly unlikely judging from past experience, but ya never know.  So, tonight I am going back to Weight Watchers for the 2nd week  in a row.  I haven’t been able to go 2 weeks in a row for months.  This is a happy day for me!  I plan to start going every week again so I can have that extra accountability to keep me on track.  Another positive note is that my body fat is slowly decreasing also (makes sense of course).  I want to be down a couple more percentage points for a more ideal running physique.  That would make my year to get there AND reach my goal weight (and STAY there)!
