Today was my weeeeeigh daaaaay. And I have more good news to report! Without my phone, where I keep track of all this info, I'll have to do it from memory. But that won't be difficult.
My start weight on Jan 3 was 220.0
My last weigh in on Jan 17 was 214.2
TODAY, Jan 24 it issss......... 210.4!!
According to my killer math skills... That's 3.8 down for the week and 9.6 down from my start weight.
Now, some people (myself included) may feel this is kind of fast... But I don't necessarily think it's unhealthy. I think I probably had some water weight to shed, and the rest is the result of small meals, spaced out the entire day. Approximately every 2 hours (occasionally more like 3-4) and never exceeding 450 calories each. I'm literally almost never hungry. And I'm always guzzling tons of water. My calories each day are always at least 1200 and I prefer to be at 1350, or I start feeling kinda blah.
While I'm not interested in lectures, because I tend to get a little defensive (character flaw, sorry), I am interested in some opinions... I am probably, maybe going to post it on the forum for opinion also, but.... It's 1350cals/day too low? Should I be eating more? Is a 3.8lb loss in a week a sign I'm not eating enough or just a super awesome result of healthy, mindful eating? Health is important to me, and while I never feel like I'm starving or being deprived, I also don't want to unknowingly do damage to my body. So please, constructive criticism, if you don't mind. Thank you (:
I don't have much else to say this morning. The day is still young (and phone-less). I see a lot of reading from my I/O Psych, Clinical Psych, and Stats book in my very near future. Probably tonight. Along with some butt-kicking elliptical time and a little laundry. Don't everyone be too jealous of all the fun I'm going to be having!! (;
I want every single one of you to have the best days you can!
Here's to hard work and determination,
