Okay, I did really great up until the night. I had just about 2200 calories into me until I couldn't sleep and I stayed up watching Hulu until way too late. I ate a bunch of almonds, like 50 of them, while I sat there and watched. The night is my absolute enemy. I've got to force myself to go to bed earlier because now that it's getting light around 5 a.m., I just don't get the sleep I should and then I don't get to the gym early enough. It's 9:15 a.m. now and I'm just heading to the gym for weight day. It's my short but very hard weight lifting day. Tomorrow I'll do some modified Tabata on the elliptical (my least favorite exercise since it hurts my lungs so much). Either way, I'm going to eat well and NOT at night. At least it was nuts that I binged on rather than something worse.
I changed my RDI today too. I started yesterday leaving it at 2400 which is 500 calories less than this website recommends for me with my low active lifestyle. I decided today that I won't get very far unless I drop it to 2300 calories.
I've also noticed that exercise is the KEY for me to control the things I measure: weight, BP, glucose. I just can't get away from it for very long. The good news is that I'm in reasonable shape, in spite of my weight. I can very easily do an hour on an elliptical at low and slow. I'm sure I could do much longer, but it's not worth the time. It's those modified Tabata exercises that I hate (love) the most because they really take some significant effort and they hurt my lungs. Today will be my 7th week of doing the modified weight lifting style of High Intesity where I can do only 4-8 reps with each push and pull taking 10 seconds each way. It's HARD, but I've improved the past 6 weeks in a row consistently.
