So, this months starting weigh in was a sad sad day. Why? WELL, I was 183 right before the Halloween weekend, but after... almost 187. It is quite possible that my time of the month messed with my weight, but then again it might not have. I don't know. I was just going with that the scale was telling me. I just figured that this is what I get for not going to the gym for almost 2.5 weeks and stuffing my face every weekend. Was I depressed? HELL YES I WAS, but there is no use moping over it, so I decided to take some action.
I decided to put myself on a restricted calorie intake regime for the week. How did I do this? I started the food diary again (yes, the month of October saw the destruction of the journal as well). I made my goal for the first day of 1200 calories. Not so great for the following 8. I think I was between 1500 and 1700 calories, which isn't bad since I can eat way more than that. Sadly though, 1500-1700 is my usual daily caloric intake, so with that said, not much has changed in the eating department.
I also told myself I would go to the gym every day this week. I have only gone 5 times out of 9. More than half, so that is at least a good thing, but again, that is how often I would usually go anyway.
So, basically nothing is really different other than the fact that I am using the journal again and I am watching what I am eating a little more carefully (minus that Reese's peanut butter pumpkin that was a whopping 180 calories. Had I known that before I consumed it, I would have wasted my calories on something else -_-).
Have I seen any change with my minimal effort of just moving a bit more and being a bit more aware of what I am eating? Actually I have. As of today, I am 182.6 pounds. That was all from just sticking to what I was usually doing. Thanksgiving, watch out! I will not fall prey to your delicious, face stuffing goodness...hopefully. I have worked too hard to give these pounds back.
