(I thought it was going to show my waist measurement--which is 37, I'll be adding that to the posts whenever I go to weigh myself from here on out)

Randy (my boyfriend of ..well, a very long time..) has been very very supportive. I just wanted to take the time here to tell him thankyou--because he knows that I'm becoming happier--and that makes him happy--and everyone's just all around happy. I love you, Randy. happy.gif Mwah.

That aside, to be quite frank, I'm menstruating, and holding quite a bit of water. So, I will not be weighing myself at all this week.
X.X

Instead, I'm just going to lower my caloric intake down to what it would be if I were 170 lbs. Which would be six less than before (I think). Let me tabulate it out.

You know, while I'm doing that, I'm going to list my resources.

These are my tools:

Google.com

http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
http://www.bestdallaspersonaltrainer.com/energy-expenditure-calculator.html
Now, I want a deficit of 600 Calories from my TDEE. So, 2200-600=1600
So, I will eat only 1600 calories a day for the rest of the week. (Or, until I stop menstruating) Now, the safe deficit is anywhere from 500-600 calories. You shouldn't cut more than 600 without consulting a dietician or doctor, first. The norm is 500. But I am pretty good with numbers, so I'll stick with my 600.

Now, if you want to know how much weight you will lose, keeping that deficit all through your calorie counting career. Check here:

http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_loss.php

It's a really unique tool that will shoe you how much weight you can lose, keeping your calorie deficit, and over a period of time.

Onto other topics--Yesterday I did okay. Not PERFECT, not too bad, either. Just okay. Which is good. It shows that I'm human.

Well, in light of this week (menstruation week), I decided to share a good ol' secret. A cup of coffee that helps reduce bloating and helps rid yourself of migraines:

2 spoons instant coffee (whichever you prefer)
3 packets of sweetener
2 tablespoons of Nestle Chocolate Milk Syrup

This drink seriously does help. And, comes to only 100 calories--which is because of the Syrup.

Now, my eating plans for today:

Breakfast:
1 Viactiv vitamin chew- 20 calories
1 coffee drink - 100 calories
2 sunny-side-up-eggs - 140 Calories
2 pieces of toast- 150 Calories
Butter I use to cook w/-200 calories

Total: 610 calories

Lunch:
1 sunny side up egg- 70 calories
1 cup cabbage- 34 Calories
1 serving green bean casserole- 275 calories

Total: 379 Calories

20 oz. Pepsi: 250 Calories

Dinner:
I will have to see what happens for dinner. I really don't know what I'll eat. (Grocery Store Day!)

I have 361 calories left to eat.
Plus, the calories I will burn while walking for an hour:
256

So, I have...well, I'll just say I have ~500 calories left to eat.

I'll update it after dinner.

Calorie Count For Today:: *See earlier post

peony YAY!!! Jan 3rd, 2008 11:46:29 pm - Subscribe
Today was unplanned meal day. I totally got diet soda & unsweetened tea when we ate at Captain D's, where I consumed only ~400 calories (2 pieces of fish, 3 pieces of shrimp..AWESOME!!!!!!)

In fact, I came home and ate 5 reese's mini peanut butter cups and two Andes' mints--

And I have a resounding

235 Calories left to intake today. happy.gif Which is good, because I am very..VERY hungry. (Which is why I gorged myself on candy just now..Randy shoulda known better than to leave a jar of unopened CHOCOLATES in his room..ah, but I didn't gulp down the whole jar..which means I'm doing better on the whole "resisting temptation" front.)
..Sigh..Now, the thing is, I need some protein in order to stave off my hunger pangs for a very long time..so, I don't feel compelled to eat more.. And the thing is..I'm really wanting to bite into a juicy avocado..which is not protein at all, but..a fruit. happy.gif

I am thinking about cooking 3 eggs..but I'd want them sunny side up and need a piece of bread for each..

Oh, by quaffing down millions of those 100 calorie coffee + chocolate milk mix drinks, I totally dropped like 3 lbs of water weight..Yeah..not very nice. (It seems, I have PMDD..and am wont to gain weight around this time..I mean, self-diagnosed..It's complicated..tons of other symptoms that told me I had not, not just the weight gain..but now, it kind of makes sense that I gain a LOT of weight around this time..that I have PMDD..)

I am also thinking of maybe a hot pocket. (Pepperoni & Cheese, of course..)

I'll get back to you on this one, guys'z's.
