So Far, So Good
I didn’t get the chance to post Friday about WI thurs. nite because we left Friday to go camping for the weekend. It was a good night, I had lost 1.2 lbs, leaving only .2 away from my 10 percent goal. So, is this IF thing working? It seems to be, although like the sites say, it is definitly not a “lose weight quick” method. I’m losing 1-1 1/2 lbs per week since starting, which is about what I was doing before I went off track and hit that never-ending plateau. I seem to be okay healthwise and I’m happy with my slow but steady progress down, so I plan to keep it up at least for now. It helps me to not have to think about food all the time and when and what to eat so much. I’m getting in more than enought calories for health and metabolism, eating a lot of fruit and things. But I do need to get in more veggies on some days.
Starting tomorrow, we go back on our regular schedule at work so I’ll be getting off at 4:30 and working on Fridays again. This week is registration so I’ll be working real late Tues. & Wed. I’ll have to try to fit in my walking when I can, or else do some other in door exercise for a few days til the schedule allows me to get back to it. It helps me so much that I hate to miss it and getting back on track is hard after missing a few days! I haven’t taken time this past week to track my points and journal (I was still roughly keeping track) and I think I may get back to that just to make sure I stay on track. I count cal. in my head to make sure I’m not going too low but haven’t kept up with fat/fiber intake. I don’t wanna focus on it too much and be caught up in all that again, but I don’t want to get sick either from not doing it correctly.
I;ll be back in a few days to record how things are going. Now I’m off to the forums to read how things are going for everyone else!
