Today, I finally kept my calories below 1,800. I have also exercised 2 days in a row. Today not as much as yesterday, but I still did it. Yesterday, I worked my arms, and today I worked my legs for strength training. I did an hour of aerobic dancing yesterday, and managed 30 minutes today. I think I'm starting to get into the swing of things while trying to lose weight. I still need to work on the time of day I eat. I just polished off a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich right around midnight. It was reduced calorie, because I used an oroweat sandwich thin, and the parkay 0 calorie vegetable oil spread. If I hadn't eaten it, My calorie intake would have been less that 1,600. I did use a small plate, and cut the sandwich in half to feel like I had more. I use smaller dishes a lot. I also haven't really cut out any foods, but watch my portions. Yes, I measure, and I count out things like chips. I need to work on getting in some more water. I intend to weigh in the morning. I should have taken measurements of myself when I began, so I would know how I am doing.
The above journal entry is actually for Tuesday the 14th. Today's entry is below.
Today, I have eaten more calories, but I did exercise more. I dropped 4.2 pounds. Today, I was able to exercise for 1 hour and 15 minutes. That only includes the aerobics. I did 20 minutes of weight training also. I know that things can get better from here. If anyone has any weight loss tips, and what works for them, please let me in on it.
