Lent is here. And Lent is what sort of kick-started my weight loss journey a year ago. I sort of struggled with what to do this year, but have an action plan. Kind of like last year, I'm "giving up" excess calories by lowering my daily calorie level. I have been allowing myself an average of 1400 per day Monday - Saturday since June-ish (with Sundays off), so during Lent, I'm going to reduce that a bit further. I'm capping it at 1250 Monday - Saturday (average), but my other restriction is no post-midnight on Saturday night/Sunday morning binges. I've been really bad about doing that, since Sunday is my eat-what-I want day. I have been known to stay up until midnight JUST SO IT WOULD BE SUNDAY and then have a feast fest after 12 a.m.
But even though Lenten Sundays are islands of respite from sacrifice, part of my Lent is to do away with the 12 a.m. binges. So, 1250 per day and no Sunday 12 a.m. binges.
As a side note--is anyone else out there as obsessed with the TLC shows "My 600 lb Life" and "Skin Tight" as I am?
