According to The Daily Plate, if I want to lose weight in a safe/sane way, I should take in 1881 net calories a day, or less. So far, so good. I've stuck to it, and it hasn't been too painful.
I have decided to only stick to the diet Monday through Friday (or 5 days/week). I am trying to set myself up for success, not failure, and so I'm building in some "cheat" time.
Next week I return to the gym for the first time in two months. (I exaggerate -- I have exercised a handful of times since November.) I not only hate how fat I am, I hate how easily I become winded. So here's to a fitter 2011.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
You go, Gal! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Gal! You are approaching it the right way - healthy and realistic. That bodes well for it more easily becoming who you are instead of who you want to be.
