Still to go: 2.0 lb

I'm 5'9 and trying to lose about 10 pounds to be hot for my husband on our baby free vacation coming up in June. I've put him on a diet too :) I don't remember the last time I was on a diet, and he's never been on one. I'm pretty health conscious anyway, but now it is go time!!! Before we had our daughter, I weighed about 145. That's the goal. I've been stuck around 155 for about a year and a half now. I work out hard almost everyday, and I think I look good. BUT I keep remembering how much better I look minus the 10. As for my man, when I was pregnant, he was pregnant too. LOL, that's literally what he told me :) He gained quite a few sympathy pounds, and hasn't really lost any of it.

What's better than 4 Doublestuff Oreos?! Almost Anything!
I like sugar free Popsicles, especially the chocolate ones. And my daughter and I have a serious thing for cheese crackers and those baby bell cheeses. Good snack is a graham cracker with that chocolate hazelnut spread.

Your Favorite Workout Music
90s alternative rock - Red Hot Chili Peppers and a lot of 311 and The Strokes. My husband likes techno and electronic music to exercise too, but mainly he likes to watch Fox News when he works out.

What to do if the calories your suppose to eat are too many?
I think you're on the right track with your diet and exercise, but I would start out slower with something that is easier to maintain and build upon. How about 30 minutes of walking that gets your heart rate up 3 times a week and 2 days of yoga and/or weights? That way your body gets used to it and you don't feel the next day fatigue/muscle soreness that makes you feel like you're coming down with the flu. I'm telling this same thing to my husband lately. He's trying to run with me (he's NOT a runner), and I don't think he's near ready to hang even on short runs Smile

As you get used to it, then go from there and increase intensity and speed. Then add more time from there. You're body will know when it's ready. The problem I think is we sometimes get so overly motivated and excited we end up killing ourselves too much in the beginning. Just remember, that you can do this!!! Good luck!

PS
From my own experience, there is nothing wrong with 2 hours of working out, as long as you are used to it. Just my 2 cents.

Skim milk making you fat?
You can find a study that "proves" anything if you look hard enough.

What to do if the calories your suppose to eat are too many?
I feel ya. That thing told me I needed over 3000 calories a day! No way could I possibly eat that much. Seriously the idea makes me feel icky. I base how much on what my body is telling me. How do you feel? Sick, weak, anxious, always hungry? If I feel like that then I know I'm not eating enough. MHO, I think the calculator is off.
