Just think about it. 100 extra unaccounted for calories a day from those BLT's over the course of a year would equate to 10 lbs.

100 cal X 365 day = 36,500 calories / 3,500 cal per lb = 10.43 lbs per year.

Makes you think twice about taking those little nibbles, doesn't it? lol
 
Well, I weighed in at 140.9 this morning. We'll see what the scale looks like tomorrow morning for my "official" weigh-in. I'm pretty happy with that number considering I got a visit from mother nature last night.

Day 9 of the Lenten Challenge complete.
 
For this last week of the Challenge I set my calorie range for the week to between 9,800 & 10,800 calories. That equates to between 1,400-1,542 a day. I'm actually going to have to eat a little more this week because I think I normally eat around 1,300 calories a day. I just hope the increase doesn't affect me too much on the scale. I'm so close to getting into the 130's. I will be able to exercise more this week because I'm off from work this week. Schools are closed here in New York. So hopefully the extra exercise will offset the higher calories.

Here's how yesterday looked:
Breakfast:
Weight Watcher's bagel w/ 1 wedge lite cheese spread - 3 points, 185 cal

Lunch:
114g cottage cheese w/ 1 cup blueberries - 3 points, 203 cal

Snack:
1 bag 94% fat free popcorn - 3 points, 210 cal

Thanks Angel,

I'm really hoping to get there by the end of this week. The scale hasn't budged yet but I'm trying. I would have thought coming off my period it would be easy, I'll have a little loss just from that, but the scale is going to make me work for it it seems. But that's ok, it'll be worth the effort.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I think it's absolutely fantastic that you've added some fitness DVDS to your routine....seems like you're also doing some sculpting now as well! I am too thanks to BB's challenge!
 
Hi Keepitoff,

Yeah, it's time that I focus on the sculpting and toning too. I like doing the DVD's that incorporate weights as well. I think I'm going to buy that Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD. I really like Bob's segment that they have on the Exercise On Demand Channel. Hopefully the other segments are just as good. I'm also thinking of getting the first DVD. You do that one don't you? What do you think of it? Worth getting?
