You know, it's been strange. I've been hungry lately, but it doesn't feel worrisome or like the medication isn't working. It feels like maybe all this physical activity has kickstarted my metabolism into working the way it should again. I mean maybe this trend won't last- I'm still only down 10lbs in the last 20 weeks, so it's nothing quick to say the least. But I at least have this positive feeling that maybe my body is going to work properly again. We'll see how it goes!
Also, I had no idea that sea turtles weighed so much! I guess they are very large!
So I've generally had my new calorie goal around 1800 lately to compensate for the additional exercise I've been doing. I could eat less, but realistically the goal when losing weight is to eat as much as you can and still lose, so that your metabolism doesn't slow to accommodate the small portions. So if I can lose a pound or two a week eating 1800ish calories, I feel like I'm on the right track. That's quite a bit more than I was eating before I started F45 and I was mostly sitting stagnant. I've definitely gained a lot of muscle too, and muscle burns more fat as long as you keep moving and consume enough protein for muscle growth! I've just got to keep being creative and finding more snacks to eat so I don't get bored with my food.
I did:
- 59 minutes of walking and 39 minutes at F45 for a total of 98 active minutes. Today was a new hybrid workout style called Quarterbacks. It was pretty good actually!
- drank 3 litres of water
- did my dental care
- 16 minutes of Spanish on Duolingo.
