I hope you can get some sleep! I agree, the less sleep and more tired we feel...the hungrier we get. It happens to me every time! Take care!
edit: approx. 2350 calories today = good. happy with it. exercise: 4.5 mi walk/jog and weights.
goodnight!
alright, so losing what is FIVE pounds to even get to120 is going to require strategy! Basically, I know what I need - sleep! Therefore, even if I have to do less weightlifting in order to get more ZZZZs, this is what I'm going to HAVE to do, if I want to lose weight.
Otherwise, with chronic sleep deprivation, I will be hungrier, eating more often, and craving food much more. To prevent this as much as possible, I'm going to try as much as possible, this month especially, to get more sleep and even skip the weights up to once a week in order to get the sleep I need. This means sorta being satisfied if i lift weights only 2x a week sometimes, instead of 3. I don't love this idea, but I know that sleep is more important :-( right now for weightloss. I will continue with having cardio everyday.
I had a successful weekend of eating; and today will be the same way. I have healthy food choices and small things to snack on when hungry - I am prepared.
In the back of my mind, I have this little goal: to take a bathing suit pic on the cruise and use it as my facebook profile pic....at least from the waist up. this would be only if I were weighing maybe 119 or so...or if I feel that I do look good in the pic! :-) i would definitely put a a pic if i reach my goal, and, believe me, there is no feeling better than being able to do that. It's been a long time since I weighed in the teens. remember, i'm short, 5'1", so it is a good weight for me!
last time I weighed in the teens was in the summer/fall of 2007. 4.5 years ago. before i actally gave into all temptations/cravings and got fully depressed about not teaching music anymore.
breakfast: all natural protein bar chocolate flavor and cooked cranberries: 300.
snack: soy chips :-) yummy. 150
snack: another of those protein bars :-) 170
tsf: 620, nice.
lunch: okra and chicken/lamb (leftovers from earlier this week), pita. soy chips?
snack: ?
dinner:
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
February weekend goal: calories up to 2250 and no more on fri, sat, sun. not even 2500 :-) Other than my issues with weekend eating, I don't want to make anymore changes to my diet because I'm satisfied with it, right now.
Weightloss progress is indeed very good. 125 lbs now. I have been maintaining my weight over the past few months with a 2000-2250 cal diet. I know I can easily drop at least a couple pounds this month, February.
6am: woke up, so had a tasty, healthier type bar. 170. lots of protein and fiber., diet cranberry juice, tea.
today's cals probably around 2000, maybe a little more. i count today as a major success.
exercise: also a success. 3 mi at the park and walking at the mall. perfecto.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
