Up this morning at 6am. I felt well-rested for being in a hotel, I don't typically sleep well anywhere, but it is worse in hotels. I fall asleep easily, but wake up frequently. I hope this improves with better health. Walked on the tredmill for 15 mins, bike for 15 mins. Back to the hotel room for a shower. When I am eating less fat, I need to remember to take my metumucil every night, that's all I am going to say about that! LOL! Had a banana, corn flakes and yogurt for breakfast. I am thinking of picking something up for lunch so I don't eat food at work. I love the food at work, but I need to cut back on sodium...that is hard with restaurant food!!! It is no wonder we are overweight as a nation!! The pictures of the chocolate lava cake and pizza and pasta stand out above the pictures of what I could look like if I ate Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem food, or did this or that workout program! We are bombarded every day with food, food, eat this...but you must be thin...food....food...eat this....but you won't be accepted if you are fat!!!!!! I stopped watching the food network cause it made me want to eat even more!!! Oh,well, enough of that, I am going to get ready for work!
One of my goals is that when I have lost 28 pounds, I will start doing the P90X workouts. I bought the set of DVD's two years ago and was just too heavy and out of shape to do them. I tried, but it was too much for me to sustain. Now I am 6 pounds away from meeting my goal so I started looking at the program last night...specifically the eating plan. I did all the figuring and it came out that I should eat 2400 calories a day when doing the workout. I can't imagine that is correct, I am sure that with the job that I have...spending much of my time in a car or sitting in meetings, that will be too much. Right now I eat between 1300 and 1500 calories a day, burn around 1100 calories in my workouts and I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...
