S/C/G: xmas start wt: 156
Default Blew my diet today.
Okay, blew my diet today. Didn't eat bad stuff (except for ONE brownie my kids made (and it has TONS of calories)) but it added up. Overdid fat, calories, and pretty much everything. Drank a lot of water though. That's a good thing. Moved around at work today, but talked myself out of going to the gym.

When I first started (and was losing weight), I was on very low calories. Thought it was fine, but read that I should up them some more. Every day since then, it seems I've up them more and more. Now today it was up to 2100 calories. Personally I can't tell the line anymore. I like eating all the variety of food, but I like losing weight more. What do you think?

Deafinlysmart - with the stress of being back at work and the running up & down the halls probably did wear you out...after you stop moving so much it caught up with you but you'll adjust and be right back into your routine..also I'm with you on needing the fiber and protein...yeah and I don't really like meat that much...I have found a cereal called kashi-clusters that i really like and it's higher in protein and fiber...
Also you said when you first started you were on very low calories...I was wonder what your calorie intake was then cause i've just started and can't figure out what amount of calories I should be eating

hi...just checking in....

personally i have lost weight only when i restrict my calories to 1200-1400 and not eat after 7pm....i found a daily calorie intake calculator on our own website...woo hoo...http://www.3fatchicks.com/diets/dcn.php

i read a lot of posts abt how hard it is to start with the weight loss routine....maybe u should slow down...for instance, in the beginning don't try too hard to eat right and exercise at the same time. ..start with either one...i find exercise easy...so i workout religously for a week...and then slowly incorporate the diet part in it. Its easier 'coz after a week my brain tells me..."hey u r exercising already..so why not eat right as well to lose the flab".... ....just my two cents...

Good Luck everybody...

I think you're right Juhi. It can be difficult to just shift so quickly in your lifestyle. Baby steps!
Well, I havn't been to the gym, now all 3 of us are sick. I'm going tonight after Mark gets home from work.
My life is very uneventful! I'm going to weigh in later on, see what damamge I've caused so far!

I started out at 1200-1300 at first. Then I figured out I wasn't getting enough nutrients and want something reasonable when I've lost weight (so I don't gain it back. I upped it to 1500. Today I only had 1000. It varies. I do try to look at my nutrition part of fitday as well as the calories, etc. I'm learning as I go too. Today I didn't do as well on nutrients, but I excercised, so I made a goal for myself.
