Good morning everyone - how are we all doing?
I just lost a pitiful half a pound this week. I've worked hard on my exercise, but I do suspect my food intake is now almost equal to my energy expenditure. As I do not wish to reduce my calories below 1500/day, I am happy to live with very slow weight loss now. I will get there, even if it takes me until Christmas.
Congratulations on the half pound! You are in the zone and that’s awesome! I agree about your calories. I have to eat less than 1500, but that’s just my body makeup.
I finally lost another pound! Thank goodness! I’ve worked hard too. I‘ve gone to the gym everyday for the last 10 days, except for 1. I’ve been hitting those steps on the stairstepper, walking on outdoor track, elliptical, etc. Plus, watching my diet like crazy. I suspect a normal person would have lost 3-5 pounds this past week. Lol. I will continue though. I will reach my goal this year, which will ultimately be 100 pounds lost! I’m pretty close. Working on my book too! I’ve been incredibly blessed and want to share my journey.
Equally important is my BG and I had an off week for some reason. I’m reviewing my cgm charts to figure out what happened. It’s a mystery. I was still averaging around 150, but I am used to 120-130.
How are you all doing? Hang in there! The fact we are focused on on health and fitness is huge! Keep that in mind. We will reap the benefits of eating right and exercise. My biggest reward is that I feel so good overall! I love having so much energy, especially when almost everyone I know says they are exhausted and have no energy! It’s bizarre!
