I had to realize with a little help about my weight loss goals. My goals are to lose 5-6 lbs for now. I would like to weigh between 190-220 pounds at the moment. The truth is, I am not sure how much I want to weigh because it has been years since I weighed that much. My desire and plan is to eat between 2100 and 2150 calories per day until the 26th of this month.
Now I need to know how to be consistent with this plan and stick with it. I will drink only 4-6oz. of juice when needed and test blood sugar twice a day. I am now exercising but I have to make adjustments because of back pain. But I will be okay.
Here are some mathematical formulas for me to use in order to make this plan successful:
food = medicine
calories = budget
carbohydrates = budget
exercise = fun
Here is a note. Exercise is not a chore. It should be fun and promote health.
I live to eat, but I should eat to live.
I have finally realized that there are some alternatives to calorie counting. Calorie counting has become a chore and one of my weaknesses has been eating too much at night. I have learned that eating in moderation and more often is a key alternative to calorie counting. I also need to be mindful of the choices that I make. Exercise more often and prepare healthier meals. People who lose a lot of weight also write down foods eaten. I also learned that my calorie needs may be more than previously thought.
Tomorrow, I will write about their strengths and areas of improvement, or my weaknesses. All I have to say is that I am glad that I have more pros than cons.
