I have not posted in two weeks. Funny, because in my mind I was posting each and every day. My problem is time and lack thereof … ideas and topics float into my brain or something odd strikes me funny and I work out an entire post in my head … then it evaporates. So now a little game of catch-up ...
Well, for starters, I weighed in at 202 on the first of January and as of this weekend I am down to 198.6.
I guess it's safe to say that slow and steady will win the race … or maybe I'm just going with that notion to make myself feel better.
My calories have been under 800-850, carbs below 100-120, and sugars between 10-30. I have been keeping my protein up around 50-65 and my fats have been kept in proportion, too. My day begins with hot lemon water and a multivitamin, followed by a protein drink. Lunch is usually a cup of soup or oatmeal + a calcium chew and two fiber tablets. My super-sized jug of water stays close by my side, and my one sin, that I refuse to repent from, is my indulgence of a 12 oz. WaWa coffee that I sip though-out the day.
I joined Planet Fitness about eleven days ago (Jan. 3) and have managed to get my arse there for 8 out of those 11 days! Go me!
Starting with a burn-off of 150 calories, I am now up to 300-350 and aiming for 400, which would take off about 50% of my daily intake. I created an entire spreadsheet on Excel to measure and monitor this progress; however, have no desire to go into details about it now. Later. Maybe. Let's just say it has a lot to do with PCOS and I am slowly gaining more knowledge as to how this pesky condition has used my body as some kind of host to its evil plan. My plan is to reverse it, control it, and conquer the evil … ok, maybe it's not that dramatic, but you get the point.
Speaking of such … I will set aside time later to resume this session of catch-up, for now it is time to muster up a bit of energy and off to the gym I go … my (sexy) trainer is calling me … more on that later, too!
