Friday I weighed in with a new all time low of 175.6. Yay! Of course it shot up a little Saturday, then down a little Sunday & this morning, but not back down to 175.6. But it gives me encouragement that maybe I will be able to meet my goal of 170 by July 4th.
I did much better with my eating last week, averaging only 1,733 calories. Which considering my goal is 1,700 is not too bad. Especially once you factor in that I averaged about 200 calories a day more than my goal for calories burned. This means my average deficit was 658 calories, where my goal to lose 1 pound per week is 500 per day. Yay me for beating my goal! But I think I would probably be better off to aim for a deficit of 750 since they say people tend to underestimate the calories they eat. This would build in a little bit of a cushion. But heck one step at a time. I'm glad I kept my calories below 1,800.
On Thursday I began doing my Ripped in 30 dvd again. It seemed so much easier than it did the last time. I did the dvd 4 times a week or so for 30 days then took a month off where I did TaeBo. The first time I did the dvd I had a hard time with most of the exercises & had to do a modified version & on a lot of the exercises I couldn't do them for the full amount of time. But on Thursday, I hardly had to modify any of the exercises. So not only am I losing weight, but I'm getting healthier & stronger.
On Friday & Saturday I sure didn't feel healthier or stronger however. Friday I had a hard time walking up the stairs at work because the back of my legs were killing me! Plus, it was just a hell day at work anyhow. So Saturday morning, my legs are still pretty sore, but other than that I felt great, so I decided to go ahead and do the dvd again. It's supposed to be good for sore muscles right? Ha! I did take it a little easier, not squatting so low on the squats, not lunging so low on the lunges etc. But after my shower when I sat down for a few. Yikes!
Of course on Saturday we had tons of running around to do, getting in & out of the Jeep, running in & out of stores. And I'm hobbling like a little old lady. A little old injured lady at that. Sigh.
This is getting better with age??
