Ok, so I think I'm gonna actually up my calories. I haven't lost any weight this week so far (well, .3 pds but come on). I have been eating about 1200 cals a day and exercising about 5 days a week. I have been reading how this may not be enough. I calculated my BMR and its like 2110 cal a day!! I'm not that hungry now eating 1200 cal a day, upping my calories by a thousand a day and id be stuffed to the gills all day! So, I'm gonna get a little inventive here. I'm gonna eat the daily BMR for my goal weight which is 1700 a day. So if I up it by 500 hopefully I will lose weight faster. I just hate experimenting. I don't wanna lose time. I feel like the more I experiment the longer its gonna rake me to lose weight but this makes a lot of sense to me bc I am larger 1200 cal could be starving me. I can't wait to see my doctor in like 2 weeks. I know she will give me good guidance! Now, the other reason for lack of loss could be my cycle. I have an IUD so I don't get a period but I do cycle and I'm pretty sure that's what's going on now bc I've been a little down and my face is breaking out....my usual symptoms. Either way I think esp with doing cardio 5 days a week I should up my cals some and see what happens. Keeping my fingers crossed!
P.s- I have also decided that effective tommorow I'm pulling the batteries from my scale! I'm way to obsessed! I will put the batteries back in on Thursday mornings for my weigh in and that's it!!!! Once I am on a pretty consistent loss schedule I might even ditch the scale for a few weeks at a time. This isn't all about a weight. Weight is just supposed to be a marker. This is about a lifestyle change. I depend on that number to give me a sense of self worth and U know exactly how dangerous and bad that is so I'm yanking the batteries!!!!!
