Hi Peggy!
Thanks for the welcome
I guess what I consider a good caloric intake isn't that low, between 1200-1800 a day. I usually average around 1500. Before this go-around, I did restrict myself to 1200 calories a day before Halloween and it did work--brought me to 148, where I like to be (although now I've decided if I'm gonna work for it, I'm gonna do it all the way
), but within a week, I returned to my normal stasis kinda weight now, 154.
However, that taught me to try to do it right this time. So I'm trying not to starve myself, but rather eat right and get some exercise in there. After all, muscles look better then not! During the day when I'm at work, I'm faced with so much YUMMMM food that it's so hard to resist and that tends to be my downfall. Particularly on my 10 hour days like today. Usually clients or one of the other techs or doctors bring in some kind of junk food, lessee, earlier this week, it was Krispy Kreme donuts AND a whole cake with cupcakes too. I'll get through most of the day and then around closing time, all that darn sugar calls and then instead of one or two cookies, donuts, etc, I just chow down. LOL.
This time around though, I'm not doing it anymore. But when I get home at night, if everyone else has had a cinammon roll, as long as I haven't been bad at work, I will let myself have one or a half of one. I guess if I refused myself junk totally, I'd lose faster, but I know if I did that, I'd quit within a week too. LOL There's the only catch.
Anyways, I've babbled enough. I'm good at it
