Was a great day today with food, considering I skipped the gym and did housework. I am coming in under 1100 calories, and that’d make a 350 deficit. My BMR is some 1450 or something. And sitting on the floor folding laundry doesn’t have much caloric impact I’m guessing. I have had 2 ahah! Moments today: I’m shorter than I thought, and I’m drinking 5X as much milk as I’m logging. Turns out I’m a little heavy in the wrist when it comes to my morning lattes. I could have been underreporting calories on average 300 calories a day. Oops 😬 Now I know, and now I can pay better attention.
As far as the height is concerned, I’m leaving my goal weight at 140. Not going lower.
Hubby is working nights this week, so I’m lone wolfing it. Meals are more exciting when he’s here because he’s always down to cook or chop anything. When I’m on my own every other week, I tend to eat very plain food and not much meat. I am happy, though. I’m enjoying it, and I’m in a good routine. My main goal is to fill up comfortably and until satiated- but not more- on coffee with skim milk, fresh raw fruits and nonfat yogurt, (raw or steamed) vegetables with butter substitute and salt n pepper. Chicken breast occasionally, grilled and with or without bbq sauce. Butter lettuce and calorie free dressing. My top off point of comfort and satiety is roughly 1100, and I’m not in the habit of eating more because I exercise. I’m really only losing a few ounces a week, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever lose faster because I’m just not comfortable doing anything too restricting. I want to be full, I don’t want to overdose on exercise, I wanna still have days where I have zero calorie deficit because it’s a birthday or campfire or something fun. I would love to see the scale drop dramatically, but IRL that’s not gonna get me long lasting results. I’ve lost 50 pounds over the past 9 months, and I’m aiming for 15 more.
What could a reasonable mini goal be? Sometimes it’s overwhelming, thinking that/5 pounds sounds like a lot and I’m less likely to give up if it’s a smaller amount.
