Good morning everyone and happy Monday!!
So yesterday I had quite the discussion about how many calories I should be eating and if I should be eating back exercise calories, burning as many calories as I eat in a day, and many other things. Well...as it turns out, I'm not eating enough calories in a day to fuel my body. So looks like I'm going to have to start working a little harder to make sure I am fueling my body better. Although who would have thought eating too little would be my problem?? Last night I tried to figure out how I was going to eat enough calories in a day and it is really difficult for me. I NEVER thought I would say that, but the thought of eating more in a day makes my belly hurt!! I already feel like I eat enough. But I will try my best to make sure I am fueling my body in the correct way!!
So these last couple days I have been having this strange worry. Am I losing you guys? Is the attention not there anymore? Anything I can do to keep you guys engaged? Are the titles boring? Should I change those? I know this journey isn't necessarily defined by how many people check out this blog each day, however I do think it is important. I want you all to get just as much out of this as I do. I would love to spark just a bit of energy within yourselves and inspire just a little bit...if possible! I hope that some people reading this are so inspired that they want to make changes too! Even if that is counting calories (www.myfitnesspal.com my username is whocrux, add me!), taking the steps instead of the elevator, or even just going out for a walk. I want to make sure that everyone is getting out of this blog, what they want to get out of it! So let me know if I need to change anything!! Or...if you just want me to keep tellin it like it is!
Hope you all have an excellent Monday!!!!
(on tonight's menu is leftovers, so I won't be posting a recipe, but hopefully I can think of something delicious for tomorrow night!!!)
Hey girl! I had the same issue when I was losing and I can tell you, listen to your body! Eat if you are hungry, don't eat if you are not! Try some high fiber snacks if you are trying to add calories for fuel before/after a workout. Everyone always told me to eat more, but if you are not hungry, you are perpetuating your weakness (I am a total food addict, no joke, it's HARD for me too!) You are doing great! Stick with it and keep us updated! Makes me want to get on the wagon with you!
ReplyDeleteHow many calories are you eating? With a 500 calories burned workout, I burn about 2200 a day...I kept my polar on all day once. And I eat less than 1200 a day, even though the recommended is 1400-1600. I say do what you feel is right, it will help jump start your weight loss (like mine did) and you will see results quick. ..then you can slowly add calories. This helps because you'll see changes and you wont want to quit. Great job!
ReplyDeletei still check this every day when you post links on facebook! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know how many calories you are eating too. I just set my calorie counter (I use lose it) on how much I weigh, how tall I am, and how much I want to lose. I have been eating 1,330 calories but more if I work out. Maybe that is a little too little but I guess it's working. I had my own little victory I'd love to share :) I went to the doctor today and I've lost 17 pounds in the past two months! ahh I've been working hard in prep for my wedding (only a month out now) just dieting and running and I feel like it's officially paying off. I hope you still feel like people are reading because I am. I haven't really been able to (or I guess felt comfortable) share my blog with everyone like you have. But I'd love if you want to read it :) http://manythemileskjl.blogspot.com/ Enjoy
