A few years back I took a nutrition class at UM-SL. I walked away with a couple things that was mind shattering…
Butter is not the enemy
If nature made it, in moderation you can consume it
Weight loss is all about calories consumed and burned
A pound is equal to 3500 calories
So, this weekend, though I wasn’t writing, I was working on my task list from my last post. I got almost everything accomplished. I also figured out how many pounds I would need to lose a week to accomplish my goal weight. 2 pounds a week. That is seven thousand calories that I either have to cut from my current diet and also burn.
Of course I am organized and motivated to get moving and BAM! PMS! I hate PMS. So, now I am bloated and feeling let down because I could not get enough sleep, so at 4:45am I was exhausted and literally could not get out of my bed, not even to go to the bathroom. But when life throws you lemons you make low cal lemonade. So this week I am going to stay organized, do as much walking I can do at work and watch my caloric intake. Keep moving forward is my motto for this week.
I did however neglect to weigh myself this morning. So that is the last thing I plan to do after class tonight and before going to bed. I also want to take some measurements. So hopefully tonight from my bed, I will post my starting weight for this initiative
