This week was OK. I exercised Monday and Tuesday mornings, went to a class on Wednesday after school, walked Thursday after supper, and did not do anything Fri-Sun (does shopping count?) So overall, that is better than the prior week.
Diet was ok as well, I cooked Monday and Tuesday, ate at Chili's on Wednesday night (Grilled Chix with rice and black beans), Thursday night was leftovers, Friday night PF Changs (this was not a good choice...Crab Wontons, Lettuce Wraps, and Lo Mein), Saturday I cooked Fish...however I also ate 3 mini cream puffs and 4 mini petifores. Those were not good choices.
Weigh in is in the morning and we'll see what my body says. It's still a work in progress...
These are some interesting facts I've learned along the way and I want to keep in mind:
1 pound of body fat = 3,500 calories
you must burn 250-500 calories per day = weight loss
You should eat at least 1,200 calories per day and stay between 1,500-1,800 for weight loss
To maintain weight loss = 2,000-2,500 calories per day
My Daily Calorie Goal=1,610
My weight goal = 107.8-145.1 (for normal BMI range)
My current BMI=39
3 months of anything can change your life expectancy
You should be able to walk 1/4 of a mile in 6 minutes

Question about the one lb of body fat = 3500 calories. Not sure if you know this. Do you have to burn that many a week to burn a pound a week? If so, yuck.
Shopping can count. Did you walk around a lot? We should go shopping together. Shopping with me is a workout :)
You're doing great Amy. I worked out ONCE last week!
Amy~ Wow... Thanks for all this great information. I try really hard to eat more fiber. I found a really good fiber bread. You may already know about it... Nature's Own Fiber Wheat Bread. I like it in morning for Cin. Toast (I use low fat spread and very little sugar) and for Grilled Cheeses. I use the Kraft Fat Free cheese slices and spray butter. It's actually really good! I feel like I'm having something bad but there's not many calories or fat and lots of fiber.
You doing a great job. Thanks for sharing all your tips.
