Yesterday was my meeting with the nutritionist and I found it to be very helpful and enlightening. She had asked me to journal my food and I discovered I was having on average about 1,600 calories a day. She told me that is fine, and it's really good because it shows that 1,600 calories is my maintenance calories, which will help in the end when I get to maintenance. In the meantime however, I need to cut my caloric intake down to around 1,200. It's probably going to take me a few days to get that down. She also "buzzed" me on weighing too often. I weigh every night, in the middle of the night when I get up to go to the bathroom, and every morning......yes, that's right....3 times a day! I told her that at first I didn't think I was obsessed over it, however I have come to the realization that apparently I am obssessed with it.
So, my goals for the next four weeks are to 1) Cut my calories down to 1,200 a day; 2) Weigh only once a day; 3) Walk at least 40 minutes a day; and 4) No "mindless" eating. In four weeks I will go visit her again and hopefuly have started my loss back again.....goal is to lose 1 lb a week. Still learning so much about myself!!!
