Ok I've come to my senses and I think 1500 is a more reasonable number.
Yea, you guys may be onto something there too.
Drag and Baby - I do have a digital scale and I usually do measure out my cereals and such. For my regular portions I've been trying to literally cut things in half. Like for example, we had talapia last night and corn. Normally (pre-diet) I'd eat 2 talapia filets and a heaping handful of corn. I just ate one filet and a smaller amount of corn. Maybe I need to bump that back up again?
I guess the main problem too is I don't know if I can force myself to eat the extra calories. I'm averaging around 1200 and I don't feel stuffed beyond that. The logical side of me is having a hard time fathoming that I need to try to eat more to lose.
Well I just finished w5d1 today and I've heard that this is the hardest week. Day 1 went just fine. It consisted of a 5 minute walk warmup - 5 minute jog - 3 minute walk - 5 min jog - 3 min walk -5 min jog and then 5 min walk cool down. Tuesday morning instead of 5 min I should be jogging 8 min.
I don't have much on the agenda today except clean the house. May get hubby to take care of the groceries that way I can clean and do laundry.
Eating and exercise both have been OP all last week and I finally see 219 solidly today! Maybe that downward momentum is finally back!
Oh I do have something exciting to report! I bought our tickets and booked our hotel room for Biloxi on December 30th. We're going to see Barenaked Ladies in concert! Yay! I'm so excited. I just love them!
W5D2 is done and that's 8 minutes consecutively twice! Thursday or Friday's will be my first "big" run. 20 minutes.
I may need to find another app to try. My noom which has worked flawlessly so far has now decided to act crazy when I try to track my run. Now, previously I have been just recording the walking and manually entering my run time in later (since with the c25k you basically do intervals..I was keying in my running minutes after the fact). But i've noticed when I set the program to record run now instead of walk, it acts completely wonky and pauses/resumes at odd times. And during one point in my run today it said I was going 18mph. Um, no. So I might need to look into something a bit more accurate. I do have my gps turned on on my phone as well. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
A quick drive by post to let you all know that I did it! 20 minutes straight. (mind you it was only about 3.5 mph - average). I thought about halfway through that there was no freaking way I could do this but I guess I got a second wind or something. The last half ended up being easier than the first half!
