This week has been pretty good for calories! Last week, I really struggled to keep my calories low, and this week, it's going well. I think part of it is because I'm focusing on getting fibre into my diet (for a reason that would cause people to say it's TMI, so I'll keep it to myself, but Pix, you know!).
I'm actually getting back into exercising, and while it's not as easy as it used to be, it's going well. I'm not going as fast as I used to on the treadmill, but I did get through 45 minutes tonight! I'd still like to be going at a speed that is faster than 3.0 mph, but I'm at 2.93 mph, so I'm almost there!
I hope everyone else is having good days!

I'd not worry about how fast I'm going. Just doing it and getting in the time is what matters. It's the form and the calories burnt, not the speed, that count.

Hey Brandy, one step at a time. You will find yourself in the 4.0 mph range in no time. Fiber is a good, good thing. LOL! Have a wonderful week and keep up the exercise!

Thanks all! I'm just happy to be back doing this with much more ease than before! Although, I thought I had resolved my "fibre deficiency" issue, but it appears I need more fibre, I may have to use some fibre stuff in my water tomorrow.

Good luck with your plan for next week. It sounds like you have good goals. You could also try eating some prunes which are yummy and good for other reasons. :-)

Good job, Brandy. Fiber makes a world of difference. They say you should get 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories consumed. So a person eating 2,000 calories a day should aim to get 28 grams of fiber daily. I know that women over 50 should get at least 21 grams a day. And get both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibre found in vegetables like carrots, cabbage, green beans, the interiors of fruits, beans and oats prevent heat disease. Insoluble fiber found in exterior of all fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains prevents constipation and decreases the risk of colon cancer. And don't forget almonds ... Great source of fiber and our dieting friend!
