Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 28, 2015

Greetings fellow dietbetter's. I had this sensesion to write something now that we are all entering week two and see if anyone else feels like I do....pooped! Yes, I know, I know some of you are starting to wonder about my diet and fitness regiment but I can assure you.....I LOVE FOOD:-)

I eat on the clock (litteraly have my alarms programed to remind me and give me 15min heads up) so that I have my meals and snacks on time. How does my food timing intake look like?

7:30 BK/10:30 snack/13:00 lunch/15:00 snack/18:00 dinner/20:00 snack

I calculate to have a 1300+ caloric intake per day. My activites are moderate and I do about 30-45 min of exersises 4 times a week. I will run on the treadmill (it is cold up hear for outoor running at the moment) and then some weights and body risistant training.

This is day in and day out......I am reaching that point that I know I have to break through so that I can be on the next level, but while it is happening......so tiring. I am also noticing I am actually really thirsty!!! and yes, I am the one who bloged about not being able to drink water. Imagine that, when you are thursty how the 1L goes down quick??? ....It's a miracle water problem solved:-)

Please share your routines, would love to know if others are energized and or also going through a shift:-)

I was really tired between days 4-7, and hungry more often. Now that we're in the second week, my body seems to be adjusting, feeling more full on less food. Everyone's different, so maybe you will adjust after another week!

Another thought - if you are eating a lot fewer carbs than normal, you will feel fatigued as your body shifts the fuel it's using. I haven't been doing low carb, so I don't have as much of an adjustment. Also, if your protein intake is a lot higher, that may be why you're more thirsty. High protein can make you lose more water, so it's good you're drinking more!

Thanks Meghan!

I exactly know how you're feeling! The first week was surprinsingly good, but now that we're on the second one...well, as you said, it is tiring passing through this "check point" (to say it somehow). I find myself with more cravings and a little bit more tired of the food I have to eat. But hey, until now I've done great! Not a single mistake! So I'm remembering this everytime the "bad mood" arrives :p. I'm also stuck in my 1kg lost but no more. So I decided to stop weighting myself until next week and see what happens. I need to remember I have 3 remaining weeks to loose 1,5kg, so it's ok.I hope this mood changes in a few days!!Have a great day :)

Thanks Andrea! Good idea, just stop looking at the scale for a bit! I am fixated with it a tad, while I know overall the weight IS slowly going off:-))
