Listen to Your Body
-58 feels good. Looking at that number is awesome! It's going to be GREAT to hit -60!
However, over the last three weeks, the weight loss has slowed. Why?
1. My body is EXHAUSTED
2. I am eating like CRAP because I am too tired to shop or cook
3. I haven't been hitting the gym as often (or as rigorously)
Am I upset? Nah... the scale keeps moving the right way: DOWN. As long as it doesn't go up, I am ok with where I am.
Here is something I learned today: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY (it seems like I have to keep learning that). This week was rough. I was finally finished camp, and I thought I would get some amazing time off. Wrong. I got sick! :( I was fighting it off and thought I would be ok, so I ate some SERIOUS calories (homemade alfredo) and carbs. It was worth it, by the way!!!! Then I was so sick that I didn't make it to the gym for the next three days. I literally stayed in bed for about 2.5 days. I was SO stressed out about those calories and what it would do to the scale! When I finally made it back to the gym this morning, I only did about a mile before I tired out!
LUCKILY my metabolism is still revving from eating well in the past few months. I had lost another pound since my last weigh in! I learned that there is only so much my body can handle at once; I also learned that taking a little time off from the gym isn't going to RUIN your life!
My sister informed me that she thinks I need to take in more calories. And she's probably right. I am only consuming about 1000 calories a day. This could be the reason I am run down and tired.
NEW GOAL:
1. Lose another 28 pounds (YES! It's finally under 30 pounds!!!) by CHRISTMAS
2. Lose another 2 pant sizes by Christmas.
3. Try to get my 1500 calories in every day.
4. Go to the gym and do LIGHT workouts when I am tired. And I need to go easy on myself when I have to do that!!!!
Those are realistic goals and should be relatively easy to achieve. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the support. And good luck to all you girls trying to lose weight too!
