Well, my weight is steady, and I don't care either. My calories have definitely been running higher that usual, but I am still within maintanance limits, so no need to fret. As soon as things calm down a little it will be easier to get back to a stricter regimen. I haven't been working out enough the last couple days, unless stressing is a workout(see yesterday's journal..I don't feel like talking about it right now!). But I feel ok today. In order to stay withing my weekly calorie limit for the week for fat loss, I would have to have 900 calories for the next two days.
Not gonna happen. I am not going to worry about losing as long as I am maintaining. This week has been a good test for maintanance. I never would have thought in the past I could eat over 2000 calories (more than once this week!) and not gain a ton.
Although I probably couldn't get away with it daily unless i was super active, it's nice to know those extra calories are available if I need them.
I am not getting complacent, but I am pacing myself. I am thinking about continuing to eat at maintance for 115(my goal weight) for a couple weeks, while working out more intensely and see if there is any loss or if it just holds steady. I know of several people that eat at maintance for their goaal and they have been losing, but slowly.
Of course if i start to gain, i can always drop down a bit.
This phase is going to be about finding a balance between my ideal weight and my ideal amout of calories that I can stick with long term. It is important to me to be able to feel like I am not on a diet for life, although essentially I am, because I will always be monitoring my eating and calories. I definitely need to do more strength training my arms and legs really need it.
I have back pain when I don't do enough ab work as well.
So I guess that's the plan..monitor calories, ramp up the workouts, KEEP TRACK STILL, because if I don't keep close watch of those numbers, I can easily so above even maintanance level, as I did last time I tried eating at maintance. But I wasn't doing the math last time, I was just "winging it".
Even if I do gain a little, i am still going to try to stay with it fo a bit to let my body adjust to this weight, but I draw the line at 120.
I think dieting is therapy for me. I would so much prefer to think about fitness and nutrition than worry about all the other crap that is going on! That could be a bad thing..
Well I'll chat later, I have bunches of little insignificant crap to do.. Love ya'll, you keep me going!! Have a great day!
