Andrea left a comment and wondered how I find time for all the exercise I am doing. I've been thinking about this A LOT. Mainly because I am trying to figure out how to keep my good habits up. First of all, remember a few weeks ago when I had the post about being frustrated with not being able to get everything done? That is just a normal part of my life, and I'm beginning to be ok with it. My blog is boring, my house is messy, I have projects left undone, etc... But, I weigh less, I feel healthier, I'm happier and I'm stronger. I have been dedicating HOURS per day to my exercise for the last eight weeks. I know this will not keep up. My goal for the rest of the summer is to get up at 5:30 and get a good, hard exercise session in. Then I hope to be active with my family for the rest of the time so that I can keep my calorie burn up. I know that the rate at which I lose will slow down, but that's ok, as long as it keeps going down. I do have to say, the week that I went to Holly's I only walked about an hour/day and I had a 5 pound loss that week. So, maybe cutting back will be ok.
I've also cut my calories down too low. I have only been eating about 1200 calories/day. Because I am eating so many veggies I have not felt hungry at all, but that is a few too few calories. I have been feeling a little burned out and I'm sure it's because I don't have enough calories to fuel my body. So, I will be going up to about 1500 calories per day.
Tomorrow is the final weigh in. Our team really has a good chance of winning. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm really hoping! I think we're all doing crazy things to ourselves today. I would normally be VERY against these things but when 1 pound could make the difference, I think it's ok to sacrifice for one day. So, on top of the water pill and laxative I'm off to hang out in the sauna tonight and then again in the morning. I know that this is weight that will come back on the minute I eat or drink, but I will deal with that and next week I'll be back for the true weight loss.
