Today is February 3rd and I'm officially 1 month into my healthy routine. Everything is going swimmingly with the exception of a few speedbumps that I have ignored altogether.
Today I am 12 lbs lighter than I was 1 month ago - woooo hoo! I was hoping for 15, but if you've been keeping up with the blog lately you'll understand why I have had to take a few days off from counting calories every now and then.
The exercising has become a veritable religion for me and I look forward to my 500 calorie workouts 5 days a week, without fail. Today was one of my days off and I feel like a slug, but I don't want to over-do it either. I still try to be active even on my days off, and I don't get to have a glass of wine on these days so it's kind of a tough day all around, geez. Maybe I need to rethink that one.
The funniest thing of all is that I didn't realize that as you loose LBs, you have to continue to reduce your caloric intake to maintain your weight loss. Nobody told me that! One day I logged into my calorie tracker and it was just lower all of a sudden. What a gyp. Anyhow, I figure I'm averaging about a pound every three days, which is healthy. I may kick it into overdrive once I get halfway towards my goal, which is right around the corner.
The good news is I'm also making progress on the BMI chart as well, as the ratio of muscle I'm building starts to replace fat. I would like to be under 20% - but I have a long way to go. Luckily I'm very, very motivated by the D.I.E.T program and our coaches Libby & Joy. We even got treated to a beautiful, healthy lunch by Chef Dave today. With all of that going for me I can't lose! Wait, sounds like an oxy-moron. Oh, you know what I mean!
