Week 6 - Current plan and progress

Ok, I have been MIA, but I am still working on getting the extra pounds off. I wanted to give an update on what I am doing since I know others have had problems with Jenny Craig and heavy exercise (link to my exercise blog if you are interested).

The response I got from Jenny Craig corporate regarding my heavy exercise and calorie recommendations of their computer not changing was that they recommended 1500 calories on non-workout days and 1700 on workout days. I typically burn 1500-3000 calories in a single workout. I would be killing and eating small children on 1500 calories a day. So that was not helpful.


Here is the current program I am doing:

I am logging all my food (good or bad) and exercise at the Daily Plate ('cuz Tatum'sMom does it and she rocks so if it is good enough for her it is good enough for me)

I am still doing Jenny, but I am using the calorie recommendations at The Daily plate (minus about 400-500 I think it is a little high). So basically I am using JC food to help me with the convenience side and the portion control. I am aiming for 1 pound or less weight loss per week, so I don't lose muscle in this process.

Results:

So far in 6 weeks I have lost 8.8 pounds. Which sounds better than it is because I lost 6.2 the first week (all water no doubt). So it has been up and down (I have only logged the 'down' out of laziness and ego) but overall I am happy that I am not just going up and up and up like before.

I can tell a difference while climbing hills when I am running and cycling. It is amazing how bringing 8 less pounds up the hill makes it easier! Also I don't feel sluggish on my long workouts like I was on 1200-1400 calories per day.

Yay!

Hey, thanks, man!  I appreciate that shout out!

I didn't think you'd get a good response from JC.  I just don't think they are equipped to handle hard core athletes such as yourself.  So I think you have a pretty good plan going there.  The only problem is that it takes some of the ease out of JC.  If you're going to have to log it anyway, you might as well be eating Lean Cuisines.  They are cheaper.  Although, I do remember the JC food tasting SOOOOO much better. 

It's good to hear from you.  I'm going to check out your exercise blog now.  Is it the same as your running one???  Guess I'll find out soon enough, eh?

Grin....

 I'm glad to see you've found a plan which works for you :)

I can totally understand that 8lbs makes a difference to your runs.

Once upon a time (oh ok, 2yrs ago) .. I ran down the road to my DD's school, it nearly wrecked me ... now 35lbs lighter ... I can do it in heels, LOL.

I love to read about your running (antics!) ... totally inspiring.

Hello again!

No, I'm not dead.  Long time no speak!  Good luck with your fitness plan - sounds good to me.  Logging your food intake every day is the best thing.  Take care!
