2007 February « I Read the News Today, oh Boy…

So. Got a scale today. Um yeah, I thought I had gained 25 or so pounds, up form when I was 135. So I gained FIFTY, 5-0 pounds. I had been calculating my calories under the assumption that I weighed about 160. I weight 185 people @_@ It’s surprising, but kinda comforting, cuz at least I know it wasn’t 25 pounds that put me up 2 sizes (i can’t kid… it’s inching up on 3), but it took a lot more than that. So my calculations, starting today, are based off the new weight. As you can see the burned calories are higher since, um, I have more mass to do the burning, basically. @_@ So, today on out, I’ll be going by the more accurate scale weight ^^U

It’s kinda a re-motivator, though ^^U AND I should remember that I HAVE been doing pilates for about a month, and that builds up a bit of muscle, so yeah. I have my target weight at 135 because I know I was happy with my size at that point, but maybe with the actually exercise I’m doing I should more realistically look at 145 as a happy WEIGHT for me.

As long as the inches are gone, I’m happy ^~

Kinda lost track this weekend. On Saturday I had one plate of spaghetti and that’s all I ate all day. Sunday, however, IHOP and Papa JOhns, so no deficit there. I’m guessing my week deficit may have been between 1700 and 2000. Not so great. But it’s a new week and I shall try again hitting that 3500 mark is, well, HARD, and drinking the right amount of water is even harder. And I just discovered a STUPID Plantar wart, which is completely discouraging me from using the treadmill. But I’ll just up my Pilates I’ll see if I can go for a 600 deficit the next 2 days.
