Starting to do a little more running. I was going to wait until I got to 230 - 225 to start running so I wouldn't put too much stress on my knees (I have never had knee problems but don't want to start), but have started to run a little so I can burn more cal.
Up to this point I have really guessed at the measurements I use for my foods. I felt I am close to what a cup is or how much an oz. is, but now I am going to start to measure more accurately, just to get a better idea of how much I am eating. I don't think I am too far off as the weight loss is showing, I just want to see if it will make more of a difference in how quickly I can loose weight.
I don't however want to be a fanatic about this because that will defeat my purpose. I want to be able to live a normal life without having to drag scales and measuring cups with me where ever I go. Just by being aware of how many cal. I am putting in helps me choose better things to eat and eat at more realistic quantities.
My next reward is at 230lbs. I am going to eat Chinese food as an reward for getting down to 230lbs. I know that sounds crazy, eating such high cal. food for an reward for loosing weight, but I know me and I won't get too crazy, and if I do, there is nothing wrong with indulging once in a while, as long as you don't get carried away and don't do it too often.
Wish me luck.
