Current Weight: 207
Sadly, I accidently deleted one of my previous posts! Sorry! So, since my last post, my weight loss challenge has become a little more difficult. I was still unable to workout after my surgery, but had a full appetite back and increased tolerence to fat. Of couse, rather than enjoying a couple indulgant moments, I went a little crazy with the foods that got me to this weight in the first place (potato chips, pizza, etc.). I have gained 2 pounds. In the grand scheme of things, I guess 2 pounds isn't that bad, but it's not the direction that I want (and need) those numbers on the scale to be going. Fortunately, I have been able to start working out again. I really need to get back on track again. I'm trying to start the same way I did before. Beginning this week, the major challenge that I'm going to try to take on is keeping ALL nutrients within my healthy limits. I know that this is going to be a BIG challenge, but I think it will really make me think twice while I'm planning my meals or what I'm putting in my mouth! Myfitnesspal.com calculates these limits based on your height and weight. Based on other things I've been rearching, I think they might be a little off, but they're good guidelines to try to follow. The week, my biggest goals are to stay within my fat and sugar goals. Obviously fat and sugar are 2 of the biggest factors in weight gain/loss. Sugar converts to fat, and we all know that fat is what we're trying to lose! Now that I'm feeling almost 100% again, I will be back updating on new strategies, successes, and set-backs every week. Thanks for reading & happy weight loss!
