Yeah! I'm below 172 for the first time in ages, even if just barely. It's a small milestone. The next will be the 170 mark. This is harder and taking longer than I thought it would. But rather go slow than so fast that I gain it all back quickly. My life has been full of the unusual this week and I've had a variety of different activities and responsibilities that have thrown me off track a bit and this weekend is no exception. Breakfast out this a.m. with my husbands gang of friends, theatre tonight with supper after that at this wonderful French restaurant and my daughters birthday dinner tomorrow. Everything always seem to happen at the same time. But, the good news remains...I was down a wee bit this week. I like the IF idea,never having done that before and it seems to be working...so if I fast one day, (except for supper), I seem to do better the next day or two. I need to reduce my calorie intake on my fast days, but overall the idea is there. Plus I need to concentrate on decreasing carbs. They are always so tempting.
I made an important observation yesterday...after 1 full month of recording food and exercise, I realized that according to FS, I am only loosing 1 lb. for every 7000 calorie deficit as compared to the 3500 which we know is the real number of calories in one lb. This makes me think that I am recording my activity level way higher than it really is. That is, I need to burn 7000 cal more than I consume in order to loose a single lb. Simply stated, FS is giving me way more credit for what I do them what I do in reality. I'm going to continue to record as I've been doing but bear in mind that I need a much larger deficit (7000 calories) than simply 3500. It works for me, as long as I know that's what is happening. Anyway, it's a good day, the sun is shining and I'm looking forward to a great afternoon and evening with friends.
Remember: nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!! Have a great day.
