Well I weighed myself this morning and I was UP nearly 2 lbs since Saturday! I only had about 100 calories today and that was in milk (So I'm counting this as a fast) and since I walked for about half an hour and did some other things, I've burnt that off, but I'll weigh myself when I get up in the morning. If I'm not down to AT LEAST 145.2 then I'll have another fast. Maybe fast until Saturday and then try a 21 day version of the ABC diet? But tomorrow should be fairly easy to fast. I'll have a tea when I get up in the morning, then I'll be out the door around lunch because I'm planning on picking up some more resumes and doing the rounds again (maybe I should just go to Tim Hortons and try to convince someone to quit...). I'll definitely should start weighing myself daily while doing this challenge. And I think I am going to have a New Years Challenge. I'm not sure if I'll make it for actual weight loss or just changing a habit though. Maybe I'll see if I can go the month of November (or base the time period on weigh ins? I have a weigh in Jan 8th, Jan 22, and Feb 05).
Maybe I'll have a New Years Challenge Jan 8-22 where I have to stay at 1000 calories or less each day, no cheating then a Valentines day challenge where I have to lose 5 lbs with that challenge between Feb 5th and Feb 19th.
Well keep an eye on my challenges page to see if I do decide to try these and to keep an eye on my Xmas Challenge :)
**edit** What about a challenge where I have to lose at least 1lb for every 1000 pages I read? Or walk 30 mins for every 100 pages or something? If it's walking it could work for a summer challenge. Or if/when I get a job save $5-10 for every lb I lose to put towards something I want like a new camera or one of my tattoos (if I still have about 15 lbs to lose when I get the job...) If anyone reads this and has an idea for a challenge I could do, comment please? Oh...If anyone has a problem with the links on the pages that I've put in myself (such as links to another website or to skip to a part on a page) could you let me know?
youre eating so little... why not just do low carb without such restrictions? check out this vid:

I would do low carb...But pasta is one of my weaknesses XD
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't find not eating much too hard. I never actually eat very much. It's just that I tend to eat greasy foods and pastas. And if you believe the thing about weight being hereditary that could have something to do with it. My moms always had weight problems and 2/4 of my sisters are obese, 1/4 is overweight and one is between overweight and underweight.
But I'll check the vid, thanks :)
i have a big sweet tooth myself, but when your body switches to fat for energy, instead of carbs, the cravings stop. if you go back and have a bunch of carbs, your body will switch to carbs right away and youll start craving them again--theyre a quicker energy source.
ReplyDeletetheres definitely a hereditary component, but the guy in that video makes a strong case for why america has gotten so overweight over the last few decades.
