Well, it's been awhile. I'm fairly sure I've gained weight this week. Damn. I haven't weighed myself since last week though, so I don't know for sure, but I did eat quite a bit these last few days.
So I want to be under 130 pounds by the time I go to New York on the 15th, so I'm going to try to stick to 1200 calories per day for the next two weeks and try to work out as much as possible. Hopefully that will do the trick. I don't think I've gained too much, so it should be possible, though I don't know how much I weigh right now. Ideally I'd like to lose ten pounds in two weeks, but that seems a little extreme, I'm thinking that would put me at about 125, but really I don't know how much I weigh. I hope it's less than 135, but I don't think it is, but I also don't think it's (much) more than that either.
I heard this thing on NPR last week about exercise not being as important when you're in the process of trying to lose the weight, as it is when you're just trying to maintain your new weight loss, when you're initially losing it it's mostly about the food you eat, but I think that applies mostly to people who have more to lose, but I think it makes sense, at least to me because of my unfocused mind, to put all your energy into just strictly eating the right amount of calories and not on a million different aspects of weight-loss makes total sense to me. But everyone is different and no one thing is going to work for everyone, so I just have to try stuff out.
I know that I lose weight pretty quickly when I eat 1000 calories a day, but I also know that you are supposed to at least get 1200 calories per day, I know it seems like not much of a difference, but if it's the difference of me starving myself and then overindulging because I'm hungry as opposed to eating a little more each day and not overindulging, I'll take the eating more each day and not losing as quickly.
The thing is, I wish I could just focus on the number of calories and not necessarily worry about the type of food, but my brain has been so unfocused lately, that I know I need to get the biggest bang for my buck to try to let me brain work as good as it possibly can. So I need to eat incredibly well and probably exercise too.
So I'm going to try to my darndest to stick to a plan and not cheat for the next two weeks. I know I can do it. I'm a strong and capable person, right?
Oh and did I mention that I've met a wonderful person, who makes me feel great? It's sorta awesome.
