I changed my RDI from 1,800 Calories to 1,700 Calories from the first day of the Swimsuit Slimdown challenge. I have done very well about staying within the RDI – perfectly, in fact!. Tonight, I got the idea to gradually decrease my RDI for Calories even further.
[u[Here are the RDI’s for Calories that I intend to keep throughout the 12-Week "Swimsuit Slimdown" challenge[/u]:
Week # 1 – (03/01) 1,700 – ACCOMPLISHED – Actual Average per day: 1,381
Week # 2 – (03/08) 1,675
Week # 3 – (03/15) 1,650
Week # 4 – (03/22) 1,625
Week # 5 – (03/29) 1,600
Week # 6 – (04/05) 1,575
Week # 7 – (04/12) 1,550
Week # 8 – (04/19) 1,525
Week # 9 – (04/26) 1,500
Week #10 – (05/03) 1,475
Week #11 – (05/10) 1,450
Week #12 – (05/17) 1,425
If I had stuck with the RDI of 1,800 Calories per day, I could have had 21,600 calories during the 12-week period. By lowering it to 1,700 per day/ it went down to “only” 20,400 for the 12 weeks. BUT, by gradually lowing the Calorie count even farther , I will end up with a total of only 18,750 for the entire period – That’s if I eat eery single calorie I m allowed!
Of course, it COULD be MUCH lower! This first week, I COULD have had 11,900 calories (1,700 x 7), butI only ended up having 9,669. Now, bear in mind that previously, I would just keep on eating and eating until I got just as CLOSE as I could for my RDI without going over!. SO, I saved 2,231 calories just this week, and that’s only considering INTAKE – not to mention how much more calorie-burning I have done!
I think I’ll post this on my Profile for the 12 weeks, so I can keep track of my progress! (It will make me feel like JudyRose 977 with all her goal accomplishments!!!)
This is just one of the ways I’m changing things up, to get myself off this plateau in the 180’s and settle into the 170’s, and maybe even the 160’s! Sll prayers and well wishes are greatly appreciated!
