Honestly, it's a little less than I was hoping for.. this being my first week and all.. but it's a decent number, and if I keep up this I'll get where I want to go. ;) I've started off week 1 with exercising daily and eating healthy. I'm very, happy about my own efforts.
I went to the gym today as well, and had it all by myself before my friend joined me. Whenever I'm alone I walk and skip to the music and do stupid dance moves on the treadmill. Looks absolutely stupid, but it's a lot of fun! Try it! I spent 1.5hours burning almost 900 calories!
And I want to add another one: have fish for dinner at least 2 times a week - or averaging on 2 times is okay too. We're a fishing nation and not eating what is plentiful, cheap, lean, healthy .. is just stupid. So added to the list is a total of 104 fish dinners for 2013! I'm already up to 4 after 7 days in! So any tasty fish recipes will be appreciated! :DThese were my goals for 2013:
- Lose weight (..)
- Eat healthy food
- Try to track 1 0 0 0 miles / 1600km !!
- Run an entire 5K
- Be happy!
Any loss is worth celebrating but I know how you feel. My first weigh in is on Wednesday and I'm hoping for a good start but I'm worried it won't be good enough. I know I musn't be put off if it's not too great.
ReplyDeleteAlso going to try and record body fat etc so I feel I can get a really accurate picture.
Also nice treadmill pic :d
The only fish recipes I have are fried...
ReplyDeleteGood for you posting a loss!
Congrats on the loss and the great exercise.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!! I love your calendar idea! Very motivating!!! I may have to try that!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great! Keep in mind that you're not really starting at week 1. You've been continuing your exercise all along, plus you hadn't gone off the rails completely with eating. You're starting in the middle. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Not that you asked, but I'd watch to make sure you don't over-exercise. A day or two off each week is recommended by every fitness professional I know. And me. :)
I absolutely agree! I only do strength exercises every other day, and on my off day I just walk. Enough to get warm and sweaty, but not a tough hike. :)
DeleteI love your calendar! I might have to steal that idea! I am also on a weight loss journey and am looking for inspiration and motivation and I think I've found it! Keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteSalmon is one of my favorites! I usually grill or poach. With fish recipes, I find the more simple the ingredients, the better the fish tastes.

I like your calendar idea. I also use a visual reminder of my daily progress. Hope it works :)
You had a 4700 calorie deficit. That is fantastic. YOu are right on track. People don't realize that there are 3500 calories in one pound of fat. It didn't go on overnight, and it won't come off over night...that means..on average..you burned about 650 more calories than you consumed. That is very,very good. Congratulations. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI like that your calendar is right out there so that you can see what you're achieving vs. a notebook (like what I have - coz' sometimes you forget). I think it'll keep you motivated to get in those stars and keep coloring in blue :)
