Notes: I logged all my food onto The Daily Plate today and was stoked to hit well under my "calorie goal." The shrimp & soba noodles was something I hadn't made before, it was super good so I am definitely going to make it again. I feel really good today, and feel like I am back on track in an effort to lose a few more pounds. I have a goal in mind, if possible I want to lose 4 more lbs! Whoa. I am going to have to work pretty hard for it, but I think I am (finally!) up to the challenge. Cardio, here I come.....
Yay, I'm proud of you!!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I thought being friends on Daily Plate meant we can see each other's food logs but I'm not able to see yours. What is your calorie goal? Mine is 1,073 (BLAAAHH!!) but that's to lose 2lbs a week. I figure if I go over a little bit I'll still possibly lose a pound a week and it's been working!
How was the yogurt with lemon? That sounds like a good idea. Good way to get a little extra Vitamin C in, too.
You, me, and Dave should go on a group run (WITH ROSIE, OOOO) sometime after he's more in shape. Matt will watch us from the window and feel the urge to join us.
Hrrmmmm, I edited my settings on Daily Plate so you should be able to see it now! My "calorie gosl" to lose 2lbs. a week is 1,194- but my "Activity level" is moderate, because at my job I am running around, doing housework & laundry, up & down stairs all damn day.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of Rosie running cracks me up!! I wonder if the old baby would be up for it?
Hey! I just noticed that your profile on DailyPlate says you're male. That is going to have an effect on how many calories you can consume. You should look into that!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I changed it but that still doesn't change the math- my calorie goal is the same! The trouble I have on the Daily Plate is entering my fitness- they don't seem to have the Summit Trainer or the Recumbent bike, so I used "stationary bike" and "step climber" thinking they are probably around the same.
ReplyDeleteI don't totally trust the site for "calories burned" and try to figure that I may have burned about 200 calories less than they think OR that I may have consumed an extra 100 calories for like, say, the olive oil spray i used to cook my shrimp or something. All those tiny things that are hard to input.
I agree...I also don't trust the fitness part. Even with running--there's like 10 different options of what you can put in there.
