Chicken's Weigh In

I went to the Doctor exactly a week ago yesterday and stepped on the scale. It was very disappointing because I have gained a lot of my weight back. Not all of it but enough. So I really got serious about what I was eating and I continued with my exercise.

It all paid off because I went to the Doctor yesterday and I have lost 5 pounds. Yippee!! I still have a long way to go. I plan to stay on track and I hope that I have enough of a loss to improve my running dramatically.

I lost 1.5 pounds last week. Not bad, considering the points-a-palooza this weekend ;)

I am in a training workshop all day Tue-Thu and I'm struggling with the food thing.

Calculations for Mishka

I decided it was time for me to recalculate my BMR (basal metabolic rate) which is basically how many calories you burn just being alive, if you were to stay in bed all day. This site has a pretty good calculator for it that you can just plug numbers into.

Based on my age, current weight, and height, my BMR is currently 1504 calories. That is how much I burn just staying in bed. Since that is not what I do all day, there is another calculation you do based on your activity level called the Harris Benedict formula that can tell you what your daily caloric needs are in order to maintain your current weight. I selected the most sedentary option just to see what my lowest caloric intact would be. It told me 1804.

So if I want to lose a pound a week (with no exercise) I can't eat more than 1300 calories in one day. Doing this would reduce the number of calories I am burning by 3500 over a week and that is what is needed to lose one pound.

Obviously, if I workout, I can eat more but should still use the calculator to determine my caloric needs so I am not free wheeling it all over the place.

The whole reason I even got onto this subject tonight is because I was figuring out my calories for my food today and I am right at the 1300 but didn't do any exercise at all so I guess I have to stay away from food for the rest of the night, even though my stomach is grumbling at me and it is only 8:10pm. My other option is to eat some veggies that are practically air but at least filling feeling...so I might do that because I tend to not sleep well when my stomach is growling.....

Chicken's Monday

Well I weighed myself this morning and I gained 3 pounds. I know that I didn't eat very well on Friday night (Tempura and rice at Sushi Mania and some yogurt pretzels and almonds on Saturday) but I have been exercising almost every single day. We went Cross Country skiing again for 2 hours on Saturday and I finished week 7 of C25K on Sunday. I was on track yesterday - Kashi bar, Subway sandwich, baked lays, vegi lasagna (5 points) and some bread. I don't know what is going on. I do feel my body changing and my tummy looks smaller but it is still frustrating. So I'm going to try to get even more hardcore ( no more tempura).

By the way, I still haven't smoked since November 9th.

Breakfast

Sprite's weekend

I didn't write down my food, so I can't remember enough to document accurately, but I did count everything all weekend. We went to Old Spaghetti Factory on Saturday night, which was an intentional splurge with our bonus points. We looked up the points ahead of time, decided what we could splurge on and stuck to our agreement. I didn't use all my bonus points this week, but came pretty close. That was intentional so that we didn't feel too deprived the first week. I also spent an hour weeding the front yard as activity.

20 minutes interval exercise bike (1 activity point earned)

Since I can't do high impact running, I have devised my own program on the exercise bike using the Couch to 5k Running program as a model. Instead of walking, I pedal at a moderate pace and then I "sprint", including moving my arms, on the bike instead of running. I'm going to use the same alternating schedule of working up to "running" the whole time! It felt pretty good, so hopefully I can keep it up!
