Before After

Day 12 of 21

Today's exercise was not brought to me by jogging 5-6 miles this morning.  I slept "wrong" and my back, shoulder, neck are wacked.  I didn't think the jarring would be good for things.

I did do over 15 min of house cleaning (aka sweeping, doing the floors, vacuuming and tub/toilet) so I know that counts for something.

Then spending the day stretching things out so hopefully the kinks will be gone tomorrow.

If things feel better inside the bod tomorrow, I'll do the wog.

It's been V-E-R-Y interesting today.  One of the things with our Commit to Be Fit program this year, is bonus questions and this week's bonus question is to pay attention to the food labels and write out what we eat for one day and then include the calories, fat, carbs and protein.

I haven't paid attention to THOSE numbers since I did the Curves "diet" a couple of years ago.  I'm sorry, but figuring out all those numbers on a daily basis would drive me crazier than figuring out WW points LOL!!

So.  I decided to go on Spark.com (www.sparkpeople.com) and see what is "normal" for my stats.

Until I "changed my goals", they told me I should be in the following ranges:
Calories 1720-2070
Carbs 222-320
Fat 44-77
Protein 60-172

So far today, I am at the following numbers:
1348, 149, 66.5 and 36

So really, everything is falling into place "within the norms/ok" except I would want to watch my fat for the rest of the day (LOL) and increase my protein, huh??

I say before I changed my goals, because I went back to the goal page and told it I want to be at my goal weight (170) by the end of year 2009 and this is how it changed my numbers:
Calories 1600-1950
Carbs 208-301
Fat 41-72
Protein 60-162

..... interesting, huh?  I wonder why telling it I wanted to lose the 78 lbs in 15 months did that?  Probably because that means I "should" lose xx amount of weight per week that way?  OIY!!

Anyway.  I just found it interesting.  Back later.

hi there

thanks for checking in...Im back for good this time (like I haven't said that before)....looks like you are still hanging in there!

joey

I've done that too...

where I put in my goal and it adjusted it I suppose because I "should lose slower".  Still, it's not bad what they told you is the correct amount for you.

Good luck.
