Walked 2.6 miles this AM with the doggies. It was a beautiful, sunny but cool day, so just perfect for walking ANY distance.
Today I'm thankful for the beautiful weather and the physical ability to walk pretty much whatever distance I want.
Part of the new challenge Go Hard or Go Home is to consider what I'm thankful for. Although I won't detail it every day, I AM thankful for my DH, my family, my health, this country and its freedoms.
The other part of the challenge is to limit calories which will be 1400, with some possible allowance over Thanksgiving and Christmas. No, they will not be all-out, off-plan days, every day, but I will be taking some liberties even though I will be staying low-carb with my holiday meals. While my general target for calories is 1300, I don't sweat it if I'm over by 10, 25, or something similar. Staying in the 1200's is hard for me and can produce nagging hunger on some days that can lead to overeating....even low-carb! So, if I can stay in the 1200's, great, but if I go slightly over 1300, that's fine too.
Now, for anyone new who might read this....my concern with calories and my level of calories should NOT be used as a plan by anyone other than me. I've mentioned this before, but I will repeat that these adjustments are part of what I've learned about my own body and metabolism over these past 2+ years doing low-carb. These items work for me but are NOT recommendations for anyone else. Follow the Atkins plan as laid out in the book and, once well along in your journey, you can tweak according to what works for you personally.
