Eh, its a new day

It is 3 months later and while I haven't gained my weight back I haven't lost any either.  I really have no excuse other than I just didn't want it bad enough.  

I think my mind has changed.  I now want it bad enough.  I joined a facebook group --> 2013 No-excuse mom challenge --> WOW talk about inspiration and motivation.  Love it, love it, love it.  

So here I am back in motivated state of mind.  No excuses for me.  No "not enough time", no "not enough energy", no "don't have the right foods" etc, etc, etc......

I've been trying to adopt this "lifestyle" --> 

Much easier said than done I've found out.

Here is me today ...... My day 1 (weight is 246)  Blah but I own it, not like I can hide it :)

I plan on posting daily my workout and eating schedule.   Its a motivator to me, occupies my mind instead of wanting to eat or talk negatively to myself, and helps me become accountable for fear someone might call me out on something LOL.  Bring it!  :)  Now since I'm not done with today I will fill in in tomorrows post but below a * indicates the planned meal*

Day 1 weight: 246

Meal (Calories)

1-Homemade bfast sandwich (230)

2-Steel cut oats w/ pecans & cinnamon, ricotta cheese (210)

3*-Smart Ones meal (250 or less)

4*-Turkey sandwich (160)

5*-Soft tacos, chips/salsa (dont know yet but at or under 352)

6*-Protein shake (160)

Total to be no more than 1482 per day.  I have a whole calculation I worked through....thats below.

This week I went super easy and just put together quick stuff, next week I will put together ALL clean/real food....inspired from this website http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/.  

Oh yah.....BTW I totally rocked 1,000 calories burned at the gym.  Yes, that is right 1,000 freakin' calories!

No big deal or anything ;)  Except to me.  It's a huge deal.  

Calculations for my intake and output

In order to lost 4-4.5 lbs per week

3500 cal in 1 pound    3500*4= 14000 calories in 4 pounds

Current BMR=1769     Maintain calories/day=1769*1.2=2123

Maintain cal/week=2123*7=14861.00

Total deficit per day=14000/7=2000

Start   2123 daily calories intake to just maintain

Daily burn from below= 1464 (332+332+800=1464)

Daily activities =83 cal/15 min

 Childcare = *4 = 332

 Housework =*4 = 332

 + Sleeping = -800 per 8 hours

2123-800  8 hrs sleep-664 60 min each =659

Calories just to maintain weight while burning calories for sleep/child/housework : 

2123+659 = 2782

I need to have a net balance of +782 per day to lose 4 pounds a week

Plan

Calories cut        = 1300

Calories burned     = 700

Plan

Need to Consume     2782-1300=1482

Need to Burn            1482-782=700  

(except I pushed myself and bumped it to 1000 today--which I'm sure will absorb itself on an off day)
