HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY TUESDAY
I work my arms with light free weights. I need a commission for this but I use The Body Sculpting Bible for Women. Easy routines, minimal equipment, visible results in a short time frame. The book is divided by muscle group but the routines are total body and designed to be completed in about half an hour. Its at most major book stores if you want to check it out.
You look great and I know you will not let yourself go back to the place you started. This process is so mental, but you will continue to be successful. Never give up and praise yourself for doing such a wonderful job.
I look in the mirror and I am never happy with the way I look. I keep telling myself that one day I will learn to love me no matter what. I am still taking it one day at a time. Yesterday I had a few extra calories than I wanted to have, but mainly because I was feeling jittery. I figured that meant I needed a little more calories in my diet.
Today is one of those days when I don't want to do anything! I don't want to exercise, I don't want to take care the kids, clean the house, wash clothes., cook..nothing. I just want to sleep. Unfortunately for me I have to get up and take care of my family. Well, I will stay on plan- drink water, 100g protein, 1200 cal., vitamins, and 80 mins of exercise. I can do it. I just have to get up and start.
Jittery may or may not mean you need more calories but you'll learn soon enough what it means for you. I don't hold myself to my calorie goal too strictly. Its a guideline so that I achieve my desired calorie deficit. I know if I want to loose 2 lbs for the week my daily calorie deficits better total 7000 for the week. Just like I know if I exceed 10500 or 3 lbs a week calorie deficit I'm likely to hit starvation response and loose nothing or even gain a little. Over time you figure out how you're made.
