No loss this week, but no gain either, so I will count my blessings.
I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't be eating MORE than what fatsecret has recommended to me. I don't feel deprived on 1800 calories a day, I fell pretty good about it. In fact, there have been days when I'm feeling pretty full and have checked in with my diet calendar only to notice that I've eaten only about 1000 to 1100 calories. So I find myself mindlessly snacking to try and make up some more calories, even though I'm not really hungry. Conversely, I have days where I could eat and eat and eat! But it would be fruit and yogurt and salad and chicken and veggies and cheese and crackers - all that small, munchy, crunchy stuff.
I'm just wondering if maybe, for the next little while, if I shouldn't be eating just a little bit more. I'm in the midst of an eight-week layoff, so I don't have to be anywhere or do anything at any particular time. I'm trying to be more active - I'm in the process of going through P90X (and I am absolutely TERRIBLE, can't do a push-up unless it's on my knees, and even then, it's pretty awful. :P But it's also interesting to see how much I can push myself daily. However, I hate, hate, HATE Dreya Rolls!). And I'm doing some extra cardio on the days that just strength training is scheduled. (Trying to burn a few extra calories...maybe it's backfiring?!?)
So, do I eat more, knowing that I am moving more and sweating more? Or do I keep eating around 1800 calories and just cut out the extra cardio?
I'm going to continue with the weekly weigh-ins and add in a weekly measuring of bust, waist and hips so I have a dual tracking system of what's going on with my body.
Let's see what happens next week!
