I’m going to start recording my exercises, intake and junk of that sort!
Here is some background about my weight loss journey!
calories and foods: I tend to keep my intake below 1000 calories. Not because I count my calories, but because i eat very healthy foods that happen to be low in calories. I feel that eating junk foods and drinking sodas but staying around 1000-1200 doesn’t do nearly as much as consuming 1000-1200 calories of nutritious foods. Sweets, sugars, syrups, greases, fried foods, don’t do any good for your weight loss hopes even if you eat under 1200 calories of them. But 1200 calories of veges, fruits, teas, lean meats, poultry, and others, do so much good while still being low in calories.
workouts: research has proven that short, intensive workouts, in high repetition is the most effect way to shed weight. In other words, i may set my elliptical to level 7 out of 10. Running at 100% of my ability for a minute, then i will go at a relaxed pace for a minute, then i advance to my full ability again, and so on until 30 minutes is achieved. It will not be like this everyday, that is just an example.
Intake: when i post my intake on here it will be very brief. I wont list every ingredient of my meals, only the basics. EX: Salad, Bottled Water, Steamed Broccoli, Chicken. Then i will list my calorie number for that meal. I do this because i don’t like taking up lots of blog space with lengthy food diaries. That is my personal preference.
I hope i help some of you with this and future posts, also if you are in need of someone to talk to with weight issues (low self esteem, hopelessness, feeling of soon failure, ect) feel free to come to me and we can talk(:
