Scale hasn't moved - again. At 219.8 this morning.
I feel pretty good about exercise so far this week. I've pushed myself more and can feel my muscles right now. I love that feeling!
I'm still eating well. Or actually OK. Net calories (including exercise calories) have been good until yesterday when I had 2 pints of beer with the girls after work which pushed me up to 1440 net calories (1700 calories eaten). I went home after that and went right into bed to "read." Meaning I fell asleep at, like 8:30-9 last night.
I think MFP is screwed up on how many calories it says I burn. It's too high. Advice I read says real cals burned could be as low as half of what it says. Yesterday I told it I worked out half the time that I actually did to try and get the calories accurate (but then I won't have a record of how much time I worked out ... hmm).
The firehouse banquet is this Saturday. This is the thing I was preparing for during the CDCC, (and trying to be able to do 10 boy pushups for). I want to ask you guys for advice on what to wear - I'll post pics of options later tonight or tomorrow. Here's a highlight: I'm beginning to appreciate my booty-ness more, so I'm wearing a long, tight, stretch pencil skirt and the maroon velvet jacket that was my challenge clothing for the CDCC. Just need to figure out what to wear under the jacket (I had a nice white satin camisole, but I can't find it) ... more pics later.
I titled this post "Keepin' On" because that's what I have to do. I'm making good choices every day. Just need to hunker down and continue making those good choices until my body decides to catch up and play along.
My quote: Thoughts become things ... choose the good ones!
Well at least it's not a gain. Maybe you could increase your water and try and flush some of the fat out?!? I had a 3lb gain overnight with no cheats of any kind, so I'm scratching my head as well.
ReplyDeleteThe calorie calculators don't work for me. I suspect that a good portion of formerly morbidly obese or severely obese folks just can't go by that. We'd gain!
ReplyDeleteI see ladies my size who can eat 2200 calories or more. I gain above 1700. Yes, I know, I have medical issues that impact metabolism...and I lost a lot of weight, which impacts metabolism. I know that. But it irks. Still, go by what your body allows, not by calculators. They simply don't individualize enough.
So exciting how close you are to Onederland. Holy Moly, that's so thrilling. Go, go, go!
Watch the salt and processed foods, and drink more water. I am one of those people who believes that drinking water will cure almost anything. And for me, it's true, since I'm prone to retain fluids due to sodium or MSG. So just watch what goes into your body really closely between now and the big event and you will be golden. Love the outfit, and you're right about a lacey cami. (Can you borrow one from someone?)
ReplyDeleteI love that quote!
