Thanx fiona!
Just remember that you do need to indulge every once in a while!
Okay ladies so I havent checked in in a few days, my hubby had this week off for vacation and so did the kids so it has been total chaos! I have kept up with my walking though. My hubby has been joining me. Thursday we even wound up walking 130 minutes!! My butt hurt the next day. lol We were doing a bit of climbing too. I have been keeping track in my fitday, it has become a habit so i am proud of that.
Okay, so tomorrow is weigh in and I have to admit, I am nervous!!!
Sunday was bean and cheese burritos & spanish rice = 1743 fat was 21%
Monday we had steak and shrimp and mashed potatos and bread instead of on sunday to celebrate our 6 month anniversary. I still kept that day at 2068 BUT the fat % was 42%
Tuesday we had a barbq. Hamburgers with french fries....1951 total cals but fat % was 38
Wed was chicken rice veggie = 1668, fat was 31%
Thursday we splurged and had lunch at Coco's. A cheeseburger with fries and a salad and even a half slice of raspberry cheese pie!! I had a light dinner of chicken and veggies and rice, half what I would normally have. I even lost half a pound the next morning! cals was 2064, fat was 49% BUT I forgot to add the salad but I went ahead and added in 2 tbs of ranch dressing, there aint much cals in the lettuce anyways.
Friday we got stuck going to town again and I really wanted lunch. I was going to try to be good and just get a bagel and cream cheese til i got home BUT the place we went didnt have any so we wound up going to taco bell and I had a nacho bell grande! I know, I was bad, i already had my lunch out for the week!
had chicken fajitas and spanish rice for dinner , cals was 2067 and fat % was 42%
saturday I really wanted enchiladas but told myself to wait til at least monday! wound up having chicken and veggies and rice, might have ONE blueberry muffin tonite, im not sure. so far 1607 with fat at 20%
I didnt add what I had for breakfast on those days or lunch for most days cuz i just wanted to paraphrase, well I mean I added them in my cal totals and fat % etc in fitday but i mean i didnt write them on here. but fruit is always for breakfast sometimes 1 piece but usually 3-4. Lunch is usually a bagel or english muffin with peanut butter and a slimfast. Anyhow I just went thru and added this all up : 13168 total = divided by 7 days is an average of 1881, fat % averages out to 34% Wow. I feel like a pig in a way but I guess that kind of makes sense, when i last averaged out a 7 day period it was an average of 1850 cals, so i guess I am not doing as bad as I think. haha
From the womens nutritional health guide....
You need 2285.8 calories per day to maintain your current weight without exercise.
If you exercise for 60 minutes each day, you may increase your caloric intake to 2865.2 calories per day to maintain your current weight.
I did exercise for at least 60 minutes every single day this week, one day it was actually 130 minutes so I will add an extra 600 cals for "maintenance" for that day. 2865.2 x 7 days = 20056.4 + 600 = 20656.4
I ate 13, 168 calories so that is a deficit of 7488.4, there is my 2 pounds right there!!!
I was 226 last sunday when we weighed in and I already hit 224 on the 13(friday) so I have already lost my 2 for the week BUT I was really hoping to be down another pound by tomorrow morning.If not, hey I still lost my 2 but I really do want to get down to 223 tomorrow. We shall see.
Good luck ladies and everyone remember to weigh in!!!
