Burning Fat

I am so happy.....I lost 1.7 pounds of fat....not water or muscle but FAT!!!!! I am on the way to a road of health.

crazy crazy crazy

Wow.....took the fitness test at YMCA last Wednesday and didn't do as well as I thought I would. Have been staying the same on the scales and was hoping to get below 220 by St. Patricks day. What does a gal have to do to make the goals??? I want to be below 200 by my birthday which is 2 months away but I don't .....I was going to say I don't know if I can do it but then I remembered a couple of lines from 'Facing the Giants'.......two farmers prayed for rain but only one farmer received rain. What was the difference?????? One farmer prepared for GOD to answer his prays and made his fields ready for the rain......hmmmmm, I change the previous statement. I will be in onderland by May 17th 2008. I will make this goal!

New goal to strive for

Lose about 65 pounds and this will be me....much shorter hair.....but this will be me. Forget the past failures and look toward future accomplishments. That is what I am striving for.....

Nutrition Manager

Met with a nutrition manager today and I am starting a new phase in my life. I am going to consume 2564 calories a day until I start to lose weight then my calories will go down as my weight goes down. Apparently my body is in starvation mode and I am burning the lean muscle I am developing with my strength training exercises. I will eat 6 small meals a day and drink 6 glasses of water. My other water consumption will come from the fruits and vegetables I eat. Complex carbohydrates that are good for me will be at 60%, lean protein will be at 24% and fat will be 16%. More to come as I journey into a new life.....
