Weeks and weeks of calorie counting and exercise and I got sick and tired. I did not do the stuff I needed to do, as much as I hate to admit weakness.
I let the weekly calories sneak up to a sustainable level for my size. I have some doubts to the RMR .vs. my true blue RMR (which I understand can be actually calibrated). While I have not gained massive amounts, I had stopped short of my goal.
So I gave up for a week and just ate. Overate, as well. My system seems to have revolted a bit. Gastronomically I just do not feel all that great. As fun as that was, now it is back to the counting and loosing. I put in quite a few miles walking this week even with the gluttony.
I scrubbed my spread sheet and I am starting it up again today for a 10 week run that will have to take into account Thanksgiving and Christmas. At least I will have some challenges eh?
I started mine up again too. I am maintaining though, so as long as I continue to map my daily weight on my chart (I actually enjoy this), I always have a good idea of where I stand calories-wise. Save the cream puff for Friday, as it were.
ReplyDeleteI was very happy with the results of the calorie counting, especially since I've never maintained under my goal weight for anywhere near this length of time. I had even raised my goal by 3 lbs, because I was having such a hard time staying in the 7-lbs under goal where I'm supposed to be.
I've been at most 3 lbs away from the very bottom of my leeway for months now. That is very nice.
I would like to drop my goal down a bit more, which is why I'm starting the counting again now :)
