my personal weight management update

Happy Day One of the Playoffs!!

Unless you don’t care about football, then – Happy Saturday!!

 

I’ve had a great week.  My weigh-in was on Wednesday and I’ve been able to maintain just at my 500 calorie a day deficit (reminder – deficit means that I need to burn 500 calories MORE a day then I eat).  I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and sore throat, so (in the name of trying to prevent a cold from creeping in) I’ve been a little less active today then usual.  I’ve increased my Vitamin C intake, took Zycam, made sure to take my regular vitamins, and took a nap in the middle of the day.  This decrease in activity means that I’m burning less calories then I normally do.  I’ve been good about my eating to balance the lack of calorie burn:
Breakfast – Quaker Instant Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal (with water) 160 calories

Lunch – Campbells Select Chicken and Rice Soup 100 calories, and 30 Wheat Thins 300 calories

 

During the holidays, I noticed that I was drinking less water – so I’ve increased my water intake, too.  Yes, the more you drink the more you visit the potty.  But it your body really needs and thrives off of an increase in water; it’s good for your organs, including making your skin brighter and clearer.  You will eventually stop making so many trips to the potty, too, once you start drinking water and get into the habit your body stops retaining so much water….thereby, less trips to the potty!

 

I’m feeling really good about losing that pound this week and being successful on Week One!  Will keep you updated.  Have a great weekend!!
