i started my fitness plan february 19 and today is may 12, a little less than 3 months. to date my current weight is 128 and i still have 9 more pounds to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 119. i've lost a total of 11 pounds over 12 weeks which i guess is pretty good. it's hard not to compare yourself to what the participants are losing on the biggest loser. hello, they sometimes lose 11 pounds in a week!
i've started tracking my calories and i use an online system my dad told me about. it's called livestrong.com and it's awesome. i enter my current weight and age and goal of losing 1 lb a week and it calculates how many calories i can eat in a day. i also enter what i burn with my workouts. i just manually enter my calories burned because i trust my heart rate monitor more than anything else. I LOVE THAT THING!
for me it's not just about being skinny and thin (though that is a perk of being healthy) its more about being healthy. with so many people dealing with diseases that are totally preventable like heart disease and diabetes, i'm trying to ensure i live a long healthy life, not a life filled with taking pills and going to the doctor and complaining that i can't breathe all the time. does that sound like fun to you?
