Hi everyone;
I'm in my 40s, 5'9" and weigh 165. My goal is to get to 135 pounds by June. Like everyone else here, I've had my successes and my disappointments when it comes to weight loss. I've been up and down over the years. The one good thing about having all these ups and downs, is that I've read a lot, and learned a lot over the years about proper weight loss, versus, crazy weight loss. Eat healthy and exercise over the long-term.
During the last week, I've made it back to the gym. I either walk my dog or walk to work, or do the elliptical trainer. And I do sit-ups and free weights. Usually my work-outs are an hour. I eat according to portion control, healthy caloric range,and using the four food groups. My weak areas are emotional eating when I'm bored or feeling lonely. I'm trying to figure out healthy ways to deal with those feelings. A healthy day for me is between 1400 and 1600 calories.
I log my food into fitday.com but will jot it down here as well as my exercise.
Breakfast: Oatmeal porridge
Lunch: Tuna sandwich 4 oz. low-fat yogurt
Supper; brussel sprouts, cheese sauce, 1/2 serving hamburger helper
Pringles carton and big chocolate bar
2100 calorie day. I blew it with the junk food at night. I'm going to be honest.
Gym, 40 minutes elliptical trainer, 108 sit-ups, free weights on upper body, walked the dog 2 miles.
