Well, it's been a few days since my last post. I was caught up in the wonders of one of my favorite times of year, Halloween. I avoided all candy! The only fight was with a few beers at the party, but it's ok. I used to drink way too much, like a few drinks a night too much. I drank light beer (still extra calories) vs my typical bourbon and gingerale so it was a lot less calories and sugar.
Anyway, I've completed my first week using the BodyBugg and I did pretty well. I wasn't able to meet my calorie intake goal everyday because I've been eating extra healthy. I was feeling full and had an average of 1761 calories consumed where my goal is 2250. Maybe I need to adjust my eating a little more to ensure I meet the 2250 goal, while still burning a extra calories. For workouts last week, I actually only worked out Monday - Wed. I did a little running and than some other exercises that utilize your body weight. I got those from a diet book I have called, "The Belly Off Diet." It's something from Men's health. I'm trying to use their workout regime because it breaks you into everything at a good pace, especially if you haven't exercised in a while. I'll list a few of the exercises in another post later on.
Anyway, my week one weight loss was rather high. I actually lost 10 pounds in my first week. My recorded average deficit was 1715 calories. However, after recording my updated weight the BodyBugg system said it was 2500 calories. So this can mean either two things, I can't record my food to save my life or I just lost a lot of weight somehow. I know I can record food, if anything I recorded under what was actually eaten just because of some things I wasn't able to get full nutrition info on. The last time I tried a diet change like this, I lost some extra weight at first as well. I think it's some sort of a "Detox" weight loss. If anyone has any input, feel free to comment.
I feel like I'm doing good, there has been one or two instances where some of the food I had wasn't the healthiest, but overall I'm getting into the routine. For now, I will leave you with this. My wonderful Halloween costume.
Congrats on getting a body bugg. I got your site address from the bodybugg forums. I've had one a few weeks myself and find it to be a really neat little contraption. So far I've had some problems meeting my burn goals and thus - haven't lost much weight yet - but this lifestyle does take awhile to get used to. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Congrats on the 10lbs - that's awesome. Yeah probably some water but who cares. 10lbs is 10lbs to me! Your next week will probably give you a better idea of what to expect.
ReplyDeleteyes congrats! i am going to look up that book for my husband, he weighs about 260 too, and could use some structure. I am doing the Jenny Craig program but he's not interested in that. I just got my bugg and love it!
