Holding Pattern

I seem to be on a maintenance plan. Here are my counts for last week. Wednesday Feb 15 890 kcal, Thursday Feb 16 905 Kcal, Friday Feb 17 1035 Kcal, Saturday Feb 18 1000 Kcal, Sunday Feb 19 1305 Kcal, Monday Feb 20 1745 kcal, Tuesday Feb 21 1340. Weekly average 1174. The only day I used the treadmill was Thursday for 20 minutes 1.15 miles.

Calorie Meltdown

I have been avoiding posting last week because Tuesday, February 14th,  my supervisor took us to lunch and although it was alot of fun, caloriewise it was a disaster.  Then because it was Valentine's Day Paul had got a box of chocolates. After the chocolates I  started I kinda of spiraled out of control. Lets just say I exceeded the feed limit by at least 3,000 calories. I did weigh in before the luncheon so I am posting that picture. The Kios scale reported that I had lost 3 pounds for the month of January.

Here is my calorie intake for last week (except for Tuesday). I am not posting Tuesday because after 3,500 calories I stop counting. Wednesday Feb 8 1170 calories, 20 minutes, one mile. Thursday Feb 9 920 calories, 20 minutes, 1.1 miles. Friday Feb 10 885, 20 minutes, 1.05 mile. Saturday Feb 11 895, Sunday Feb 12 1015. Monday Feb 13 660, 20 minutes, 1.1 mile. Tuesday Feb 14  20 minutes 1.13 miles. No average for week. wtg: 75.82 kg

Treadmill

Tuesday I started using the treadmill. It's like housework. Hard to begin, but once you start you want to finished. The hardest day was  the 1st day. My varicose veins have let me know they were not happy with the increased activity, but  I  slowed it down a bit and the pain has been bearable (so far).  I do seem to be a bit more perky since I started (Tuesday). Now if it could some how curb my appetite.

I did accidently look in the big mirror that is in the women's locker room wearing nothing but my skivies.  Just thinking about it makes me shiver.

Here's last weeks totals.Wednesday Feb 1 925, Thursday Feb 2 1770,  Friday Feb 3 1170,  Saturday Feb 4 1115, Sunday Feb 5 1150. Monday Feb 6 1020, Tuesday Feb 7 1125. Week average is 1182. Not going to lose much weight at that rate, but on a positive note, at least I won't be gaining. I don't have the nerve to weigh myself. However,  I will have to climb the Kios scale next Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Last weeks exercise totals: Tuesday 20 minutes, 1 mile.

Slow and Steady

Last week I was kind of disappointed because my appetite was getting the best of me. This week I re-evaluated the situation and decide I was in no hurry to get to my ideal weight because once I get there I no longer have a goal and I start gain.  So, for me, It makes more sense to loose the weight slow and steady.

Here is last week's totals. Tuesday Jan 24 932 kcal, Wednesday Jan 25 1120, Thursday Jan 26 740 kcal, Friday Jan 27 1295 kcal, Saturday Jan 28 1075, Sunday Jan 29 1360, Monday Jan 31 1085. Average count 1086 kcal.

It appears I hit a bit of a snag over the weekend, which is kind of surprising because I was so busy all weekend. I always thought I ate more when I was bored. Doesn't look that is the only reason I eat. Still, if I could get it down to 1000 kcal per day I would be happy.
