On Tuesday I only got 20 mins of cardio in and I definitely made up for it today by doing a lot of strength training and an extra 30 mins of cardio. I'm gonna say it was a good 90 mins.
YAY! :D
I am doing better on the food side of things, and I learned something on tuesday... when I over eat, THATS what triggers a binge. I was in over my head, and I couldnt say no to the white cheddar noodles I had made my brothers for dinner. I ended up just eating and eating for the rest of the night, and felt like crap on Wednesday morning, as usual. I have done it in the past, but I need to really work on listening to my body and stop eating when I am full!
speaking of being full, I planned on increasing my calories from 1200 to 1300/1400, but I dont think I could fit that in. I eat each of my mini meals until I am full [i really dont have a problem staying on track and doing that during the day. I only seem to binge at night]
So I have "upped" my calories at each meal and so far it seems to be working for me.
The only thing is, I am eating less overall. I cant fit 1400 calories into my day unless I were to eat something VERY calorie dense, say like, ice cream.
Its weird. I used to eat strictly 200 calories or less for each of my mini meals. Eating 6 times a day, i would have about 1200 calories.
But now, I have given myself some breathing room, allowing myself anything between 200-250 calories, which also allows me to have a bigger variety of food choices, and I am eating less for the over all day. Some days I barely consume 800-1000 calories.
I guess I can slowly build it up once I have reached my goal and go into a more maintenance routine. But that wont be for awhile. So as long as I dont feel like I am dying [and I am not anymore] than I guess I'm not doing anything wrong, right?

Hey, thanks for the encouragement!! As far as your diet, I think 1300 to 1400 is a good number. Even 1200 I think its fine. 800-1000 is a bit low in my book, especially if your exercising. It ends up doing more good than bad in the end, and then the weight loss isnt very permanent. You've lost alot of weight already, you want to make sure your metabolism stays up. Great job on the exercise, im jealous =o/ . As far as your binging, I binged a bit today. And I had the same problem, the minute I started eating ONE wrong thing, I ended up eating crap the ENTIRE night. Then again I am sick and can do nothing but lay in bed all day long, so I find enjoyment and comfort in food. Plus I cant go grocery shopping or cook anything right now. Excuses Excuses lol. Reguardless, I think your doing great!
