I worked out my BMR today and in order to lose between .5kg - 1kg per week I should having between 1455calories and 1955 calories. This ofcourse will change when my weight changes and is based on my current level of exercise which is 3 - 5 intense 60 minute sessions per week. Over the past 2 weeks my average daily calorie intake has been just under 1400 calories so I can afford to have some days where I take in a little more (healthy options ofcourse).
I gave a friend of mine some advise tonight and figured that I should make of note of it so that it can be reminder for myself also.
Losing weight is 80% Nutrition and 20% Exercise, Fueling the body correctly and adequately is just as important as putting petrol in your car. If your car is running on empty it is slow and sluggish, if you put the wrong fuel in then the same occurs. But when it has the right fuel it can run for miles and miles before its time to refill and if done in the proper manner it will just pick up where it left off.
Today was my exercise free day and my body is thanking me for it. Tomorrow morning I have Combat and then on Sunday its Yoga.
I dread the weekends food wise but I am determined to stay strong and make healthly options - we are considering going to the movies tomorrow night so I have decided that we will make our own popcorn at home and take some water with us instead of going to the candy bar. Not only will we save our hips but our pockets too.
Well that's it from me for now back to study I go - head down, bum up so the saying goes!
