Now, Y'all know I love food! I'm southern, and I can't help it. Hell, it's us who came up with all the best fried foods! Fried dough, fried chicken, fried snickers, fried turkey, chicken-fried steak, fried fish...the list goes on forever. And apparently, so does my waistline! lol
So, my post-turkey-day weight is a whopping 173.8lbs! Good Lord! That's a thanksgiving weight gain of 9lbs! WOW! So, I guess I'd better start doing something about that...
My semi-official diet/exercise plans are as follows:
Official weigh-in day: monday (that way, I'll remember to watch my diet on the weekends! that's always where I slip up!)
Exercise:First day to 5k intervals
these work marvelously! I used podrunner the last time I dropped 30+ pounds, so I know it works!
Diet: No more than 1200 calories per day, no less than 1000. even though I have more than 20lbs to lose, since I actually plan on working out, I can't drop too low, or else, my body will freak-out and convert everything directly to fat. that's bad. I have all the cellulite I need, thank you! Plus, I'm nursing, and that burns an addition 300-500 calories per day, so I'll really have to tweak it in the following weeks. I've never tried to lose weight while nursing, but I've also never had so many physical demands either; keeping up with my kids is important! :)
I will also start a new blog just for weight loss, so I can report on my progress to all of you. I won't get too bummed if I break-down and make beignets and eat all 18 of them. And of course, kick myself for the next week for having done so! But I know myself, and that's good, so I'll know when my screw-ups are coming. lol!
