hungry
I go to bed hungry, I wake up hungry, I get hungry for lunch at 9:30, and for dinner at 3:00. I am eating, 3 meals in fact. I'm still hungry, and the scale is still saying the same thing. Blah.
Meanwhile, I am trying to drink more water, and push more when I run/bike/elliptical. I also am going to try (starting tomorrow) to eat more veggies and less fruit, or at least more veggies. Fruit is good, I probably get 5 or more servings (half a banana, berries, casaba melon, grapes, apple... that's an average day for me)but it also contains a lot of sugar, which is not good for losing weight.
I'm trying to cut calories mostly, because 3500 calories makes one pound. So if I cut 3500 calories a week, which is only 500 calories a day, technically I should lose one pound a week, right? So, my goal is to eat between 1200 and 1700 calories per day, 1200 being the minimum amount for women recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine. This plus my daily exercise regime should be working. I'm still waiting on that one.
Sorry this has turned into a blog about me trying to lose 15 pounds. It's probably boring, but I'm loving the advice!
