Hello everyone,
New here, hope your're all having a great week!
I recently stated yet another of my diets on Friday the 7th and have been going really strong. Decided this time to do it the right way - get it off keep it off.
The challange for me has and will always be that I do lose weight easily and this has given me quite a carefree attitude at 'certain' times on my choice of what goes into my mouth. Mind you, I don't endulge in the main culprits - I don't drink, smoke or 'enjoy' chocolate - BUT, I'm somehow too keen on pizza. Yes Domino's texas BBQ pizza!
I'm about 5'7-5'8 tall and the last time(about 2 weeks ago) I was on the scale I was clocking 68kg away from my regular 60kg.
But this increase in weight hasn't really bothered me cos' "I know how to get it off" and while I was adding it that was what I said to myself and those around me. - Now that is the problem.
Also, most of (if not all) my weight goes to my chics and thighs, leaving my tummy still tight with hints of my six pack - this adds to my 'can't be bothered' attitude.
I really found the calculators on this site helpful cos it makes it clearer to me the harm I may be doing to myself with my crash diets/weight instability.
As of last week, I've decided to get back in shape but today I was doing a google search on sugar levels and weight loss before I landed on this website. And really found the advice to be much logical than most of what I hear out there. So I decided that apart from getting back in shape, I also needed to maintain a particular weight.
MY DIET PLAN
Running 1 hr 5 days a week (I had stopped running since moving to my new place as the new area just didn't have the type of roads I enjoyed running by - now I'm much more used to it and have been out running Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Today - Won't run tomorrow and the coming saturday. ) From next week, I'll be having Wednessday and Sundays off as breaks. Sunday partcularly because I almost got attacked several times while running on sunday by some guys I suspect were on their way back from a night out - this was at 6:30ish AM - I pardon them, its the weekend free feeling - but I wont subject myself to any form of harm)
Calories Calories Since Friday the 7th, I thought I was on approximately 1200 calories per day. Well after doing calculations using the tools on this site it appeared I have a calorie intake of less than 1100 and calorie deficit of about 1437(stuff I've never heard of before) as my calories burned by activities is 2637. As I won't be running 2 in the week, it averages out to a standard of calories consumed -1,200 calories burned 2423 and calorie deficit 1223. My activities are quite the same everyday but I will definately increase my calorie from food etc to to 1500.
I don't starve, instead, drinking allot of water after running - I have little appetite for food until later in the day. And because of work, I can only eat what I have in my launch pack which isn't that much either. I'll just have to get into having a proper meal after running the mornings I guess.
OVERALL My aim is to get back to 62 and eventually MAINTAIN a weight of 58kg. And just be healthy!
Once I get to 58Kg, I'll still be running (as I love it) but won't want to lose further weight so will try to stepup the calories I take in from food etc. And most importantly, try not to fall behind and get back as usual.
Oh and should you hear me ever again say - 'I can eat whatever/in excess cos I'll burn it off easily, give me a slap on the wrist'! cos getting it off easily time after time is harmful .
It's all about consistency!!
Have a nice day,
 s
