The truth shall set you free right? Well, I met my 60lb weight loss goal back in April. Since then, I've gained 7-9 lbs (I fluctuate). 7+ lbs is a lot to a calorie counter. I thought I would do well on my new increased calorie budget, which was around 1900 a day. I took full advantage of it too. I lost the last 10lbs by reducing my meat intake. Once I started back eating meat, that's when I started to gain back the weight. I finally mustered the courage to log it on Lose It! yesterday. So many people have kind of "admired" me on there for finally meeting my goal, so I kinda, slightly felt like I would be letting them down. Anyhoo, I've logged it and now am re-tracking to lose these few pounds again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally obsessed with counting calories (at least I don't think so), but I'm trying to be strict on my diet in order to lose the tummy. I know that "abs are made in the kitchen" and I'm trying to do just that! I don't think I can continue to eat the amount of calories I'm "allowed" to eat in maintenance mode and try to get a flat stomach at the same time. Reducing them will definitely make me pay more attention to what I'm putting in my mouth as well as how much.
Sunday is always a rest day for me. So tomorrow I'm picking back up with Week 3 of Insanity, the Fit Test, and I will do a speed workout. The rest of the week will be dedicated to building my endurance to run 5 miles easily (I had a wonderful 5 mile run Saturday morning) using no particular training plan.
