I haven't weighed myself but I don't feel like I've lost any weight since Saturday. I guess this feedback is coming from the way my clothes are fitting the past few days. I've been eating between 1700 and 1900 calories per day which I feel should be a good range for me. I've been doing is shooting for 1700 and usually ending up around 1850. Maybe I need to go back to 1500 which what I was eating when I was losing weight at a healthy clip back in 2010. But my dilemma is that I wasn't able to sustain that behavior. Does 200 or 250 calories really make a difference? Not sure really but I guess I'll find out Saturday. All I'm sure of is that I want to lose weight and I want to lose it as fast as possible.
I know it's a pitfall to start dropping daily calories because it will likely throw my metabolic rate into starvation mode but I feel like I need to do something to get things going. I've been getting a little walking in just about every day but it's not more that 10 minutes per session. I need to step the exercise up.
My concern is that we're coming into the summer months and that means traveling for summer baseball. I love it but it brings with it constant food decisions because due to timing we have to eat on the road a lot. It's mainly dinner choices because usually the games are over in the evening, we're hungry and a hour or so away from home. This season there won't be any over night trips so that will limit restaurant eating. The reality though is that I have to get use to making good choices when eating out as well. I can always pack a cooler!
It's really amazing to me that I have to think so much about food. But I guess it's a good thing that I'm planning meals and eating in a sensible fashion. I have to admit though.. it is a grind.
