I have decided to take that plateau out! I went to the gym this morning before work. This is very unlike me, so I must be serious. The gym manager was very surprised to see me. I did 33 minutes on the treadmill burning 327 calories and traveled 1.27 virtual miles! Now I must shower and get to work.
I have decided to change my calorie limits. I have been reading a lot about weight loss and much of my research tells me that eating so few calories may cause me to lose weight slower. I am going to raise my calories a little and monitor my weight loss to see if it changes. I think this process is about more than just self control. I think it is about learning how the body works and how we can take advantage of that knowledge.
Below are calculations that give examples of what experts say I should be eating per day.
Maintenance: 4143 Calories/day
Fat Loss: 3314 Calories/day
Extreme Fat Loss: 3216 Calories/day
I am going to keep it between 1600 & 2000 because I do not want to tempt myself with 3000 calories a day. It is a slippery slope and I have to maintain disipline.
I welcome your thoughts and opinions. Assuming I am not talking to myself :-)
Sean
