I guess I'm not really making a new plan so much as revising and adjusting it. I've been thinking alot about the whole question of how many calories and how much exercise. I have no issues with the exercise but I've been making sure I only eat about 1200 to 1300 calories a day. Total. First few weeks? Great! Now? Weight loss has been dragging and so have I. I literally have to force myself up in the morning after getting plenty of sleep. But I haven't been sleeping very well either and that's unheard of for me! It's taking me close to an hour to actually get myself up and that's ridiculous. I go to work and within an hour I feel like I've been there half the day and when I get home I just want to collapse. I don't even feel enough energy to wash some dishes!
So, I'm taking the advise of several people and upping my calories. I really think I'm just not getting enough nourishment. Hopefully, I'll start feeling better soon and I'll be right back on track. I hate that I joined a group challenge at this point and 2 other people are depending on me doing my best. It is a summer long challenge though, so hope they understand that this first week may not be my best!
Other than that, it's been a pretty good day. When I stopped for coffee this morning the girl behind the counter told me there was something different about me today. That I just looked different. It's not recognizing the weight loss but in a way it is! I'll take it!!!
How many calories are you having? I'd definately up them if you have no energy.
ReplyDeleteThats a compliment that the coffee girl noticed something different. I think sometimes at the start of a journey people see the weight coming off but dont know whether they should say anything or not!
And as for the challange.... its about the long game ;) im pretty sure the tortoise won the race xx
