Count Down

Today is March 1st. I officially turn 33 March 5th. I guess we will see where I am at that point! Can't wait to see how much I have accomplished!

I recently discovered  one way to figure out how many calories you should have in a day. I had been basing my diet on 1500 calories, obviously going over on occasion. However, in the book THE BIGGEST LOSER SUCCESS SECRETS it says to multiply your goal weight by 10 if you are sedentary and 13 if you are active. So I've decide I can have a goal of 1500 calories a day and if I go over just make sure I stay between 1500 and 2000 calories. I still have a little room if I go over 2000 but I think that is a lot of food so that would be a BIG exception.

Monday my total calorie intake was 1,633 calories until  I decided I needed to end my night with some Girl Scout cookies. So my final total was 1,833 calories. I had 33 fl oz of water, so not as much as I would have liked but that's still a nice amount. My workout was lifting weight from exercise I found in THE WOMEN'S HEALTH BIG BOOK OF EXERCISES, bicep curls section, while walking for 60 minutes on the treadmill.

Monday was a good day!

Today is Tuesday. Tuesday has been a good day! Total calorie intake 1,674. I did the same workout as yesterday. I have one minor feeling of failure because I wanted to work on my abs/core muscles and didn't get it done. After I got off the treadmill I just wanted to be done for the night. I was ready to get ready for bed and tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a new day and one day closer to 33!
