Okay... you know how they say weigh in once a week or whatever, first thing in the morning, empty stomach, empty bladder, yadayadayada? Well, I did that!
I'm up 1.2 pounds to 143.2.
Weighed myself yesterday at night and weighed 142.
No period, no bloating that I know of, so what the hoot?
I work nights four days on, five days off. It's a shift from 7 PM to 7 AM. My days are all whacked. I sleep different hours different days and on my days off move my sleep to the normal sleep the rest of the world has. This is Day 3 off. I weigh better when I work, I think.
Now, the work I do is completely sedentary (computer analyst). We don't move during those 12 hours. On my days off, I move more, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't perceive myself as "bedridden" in terms of calculating my BMR.
I do start a fitness program today which includes running, bicycling, and weight training at least three times a week in January, four times a week in February, and five times a week in March.
Should I go another month with my 1200 to 1300 calories/day intake and see what happens with the fitness? Or do I need to lower the calories a little more (I don't want to do that but will if I have to).
My fat intake is relatively high and I am working on that. I measure my waist and it's 28 inches. Lost one inch in the past three weeks.
I love counting calories. I think it's fun, but I'm not doing this for the math exercise, darn it! I wanna get my old body back!!!
So give me some feedbacks, experts of the scale, and throwing it out the window is an option I'm willing to consider.
