FitDay says I burn 2291 calories per day, so can eat 1554 calories per day to get down to 230 by the end of the year. (That would be a loss of 31 pounds.)
Ya know, I really can't focus on that too much because then calories will be the most important thing in my life, and I'll get frustrated if I'm not losing. But I will continue to use FitDay, because my trend has been to pretend that I'm eating less than I'm actually eating. Like ignoring the Light Cream that I put in my tea, or the handful of nuts I eat midmorning.
In fact, I'm NOT going to go all out this week to exercise or make a "new diet" a big thing. That contributes to the burnout. I'm going to do the same stuff I've been doing. The only thing that's different now, is that I'm going to write about it.
- I've been really good the past few months about making a big salad for lunch, mesclun, feta cheese, some meat, maybe mandarin orange slices.
- I've been getting better about making myself a breakfast and bringing it into work with me and then waiting until I'm hungry to eat it, or at least until 9 or 10.
- I've been drinking alot of water (in the form of black tea), 24 ounces in the morning, and then 36 ounces at work.
- I've been getting a decent amount of sleep.
- I've tried juicing a few meals, and find it filling enough, and like the taste.
- I've gotten better about not having any forbidden foods. Whatever I want, it's OK to have. I tried baked potato with bacon crumbles, cheese and sour cream after maybe 5 years of thinking they were verboten. Wow, was it good! It was very satisfying. Also had an ice cream sundae after 10 years of abstinence. Normal people eat less after a heavy meal, because they're satisfied - I can learn to do that.
- Exercising consistently
- Being mindful and less tense
- Choosing the middle road, not always busy with people, but not always alone
