They thought I would like to look back on this post from 7 years ago. Why yes Facebook, thank you for reminding me how fat I was!! I refuse to go back to that. REFUSE. So, here is where I'm at today and a look at how the last week went:
Starting Weight: 135.0 lbs
Today's Weight: 133.2 lbs
Total Loss: 1.8 lbs
Diet
I didn't do awful.... didn't do great either. Friday night and Saturday night I ate out. And Saturday night we ate A LOT. But I did pretty well the rest of the week. I actually logged back on to My Fitness Pal on Sunday and plotted out all of my calories for Monday - Friday. I'm not staying at the 1200 calorie a day goal, but I'm not going crazy either. I would say I'm right around 1500 on a normal day.
Exercise
Does shopping count? What about cleaning snow off of the car? Shivering to keep warm? No? Then no... no exercise this week.....
Lifestyle
I know that its simple math and more calories in than out equals weight gain, less equals weight loss. That is the major reality. I do believe though that stress and lack of sleep can make it even harder to lose. So I'm working on trying to stay calm and trying to get to bed at a decent time also. Its not easy when there already aren't enough hours in the day, but I'm trying to prioritize my health over everything else.
