So I've decided (perhaps a crazy idea), to lower my RDI to 1600 calories. I will still have 1-2 days per week where I will allow myself to go over that, but based on this week, I think that's a reasonable goal. I may be back next week with a revised RDI, but we'll see.
I also have to get back into regular exercise. I'm making an effort for sure, and last night when I was tired and DH didn't want to work out, I still worked out, which is HUGE for me, because usually I'm just looking for an excuse to not work out. Not that I did a lot, just some running intervals for 25 minutes, but still, it's a start, and I need to keep running to keep up my stamina for the 5K on October 16th.
One thing I've been working to overcome is that I feel skinny. Okay, that sounds like a retarded comment, but hear me out. When I feel skinny, I don't feel like I need to lose weight because I'm skinny. So I have to remember that while I feel skinny, I'm just skinnier than I used to be, and I have to still put in some effort before I'm at a healthy weight. I think I forgot that through vacation and then when I was teaching in Halifax, but that's okay, I've remembered it now. I really want to be 269 - half way to my goal of 199... and can't wait to see it. Hopefully by October 16th, but time will tell. My body does its own thing, and I have to respect that.
