First off I would like to say I weighed this afternoon and I had just eaten a sandwich, drank a big bottle of water and had to pee like a Russian race horse and I only weighed 338-339. The scales couldn't make its mind up. So Im thinking maybe 338-337.
Either way VICTORY!!!
Tonight I went and shook my tail feathers at Zumba for an hour. My hair makes me so hot. The way I have it cut makes it difficult to do anything with it in the back to cool me off. So I braided the long part and then used a barrett to clip it up. That lasted about 10 minutes before it fell. Who cares. It was still cooler. By the end of the class I was able to literally WRING FAT out of the braid.
SICK!!!
I promised to leave fat on that floor and by gosh that is exactly what I did too!
Then I stuck around for some good ole Flab Fighters. Another packed class. That should tell you what a great place I go work out at is. A few times I thought my arms may fall off. Then I got a charlie horse in my thigh as we were laying down with 1 leg crossed over the knee and lifting our butts up. Man that smarts.
After class was over I remembered Jill was leaving my prize I won for me. Its a pedometer/calorie counter. I havnt looked too much at it yet. Came home, rested. cooked dinner and now I'm talking to myself in my head as I type this. I wanted to wear it at Zumba and compare it to my Fitbit. But obviously I forgot it was even there. Oh well. There is Zumba tomorrow.
This week our assignment is to write down everything we eat and create a deficit in our calories. The mathematical formula for me is
655 + (4.35 x 338) + (4.7 x 68) - (4.7 x 40) = BMR 2257 calories a day
to maintain a weight of 338. I am striving for 1600 calories a day max. Add in any exercise classes I do and I could actually achieve probably a half a pound a day weight loss or 3 1/2 lbs a week. I am so happy with that number. HOWEVER I have alot of strong competition. I want to win this like nothing else. I want to be healthy. My goal is 5 pounds a week. I need a deficit of at least 3000 calories a day to loose 1 pound. Alot of work but possible. Again I am perfectly happy with 3 1/2 pounds.
Im not getting real hungry during the day. I am trying my best to remember to eat every 2-3 hours and eat 200-300 calories each time to keep full. So my fat doesn't panic and store itself in my ass (any more than it already has). My biggest problem is when I think about what I'm not doing. That I'm not mindlessly eating. That is what makes me hungry. Or think I'm hungry. Pretty much boredom and mental games my fat is playing with me.
My team is all working so hard. I'm proud they are part of my team. I'm also pretty confident that we will take 1st,2nd, and 3rd place. Clean sweep baby. It still scares me a little bit that I will fail and revert back to my old self. I love my new self. I enjoy the energy I get after I have about gave myself a heart attack. Yeah I'm dead tired but still ready to go.....Until I sit down for awhile. Then everything screams "What have you done with yourself?! Knock it off!" So I'm a little slower moving for a few minutes. I know over time it will be better.
I'm a HoneyBadger Baby!!!
I can do ANYTHING I feel like!!!
Nice Post, Proud of you.
ReplyDeleteDon't even think about reverting back, it's just not an option for you or your family. Your going to do this and than if I'm any judge of character, help so many others along their journey too.
You've got this!
