Day?????? Lets start over
So I have been really bad about updating this blog….oh and about doing all those things I said I’d do…..so lets start this mess over.
Women:
655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) – (4.7 x age in years)
Men:
66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years)
Lindsay: 655 + (4.3 x 174) +(4.7 x 64) – (4.7 x 24) =1591.2 x30% = 477.36 + 1591.2 = 2068.56 – 500 (to loose 1 lb per week; 1lb = 3500 calories; 7days x 500calories=3500)= 1568.56 calories per day
Neil: 66+ (6.3 x 188) + (12.9 x 69) -(6.8 x 28) = 1950.1 x 30%= 585.03 + 1950.1= 2535.1-500=2035.13 calories per day
Calculate Activity
Step two: In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
- If you are sedentary : BMR x 20 percent
- If you are lightly active: BMR x 30 percent
- If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 40 percent
- If you are very active (You exercise intensely on a daily basis or for prolonged periods.): BMR x 50 percent
- If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 60 percent
Add this number to your BMR.
The result of this formula will be the number of calories you can eat every day and maintain your current weightt. In order to lose weight, you’ll need to take in fewer calories than this result.
So today I weighed myself and I am still at the same weight I was back when I got pregnant (actually I think I have lost a couple of pounds because I think I put on a few after I miscarried since I was eating horribly and not exercising). So as of today:
Weight: 174
Caloric Need: 1568/day with light activity (at least 30 minutes of exercies 4 days a week)
Next Wednesdsay I will update with weight and if there is a change in that then I will re-calcuate my caloric need.

Day 7
Today I finally came to the terms with the fact that I am just fat. I at this point should have lost the baby weight I put on- but I choose to let myself go. I have eaten so much crap over the past month and half and I haven’t bothered to workout as much as I need to (not that it can make up for all the crap and usless calories I consumed).
However now as I sit here and I see my belly rolling over my pants and see how huge my ass and thighs are getting it’s time to cut back and eat better. I really wish that this would just happen over night but it won’t.
First things first- cut out the crap! white sugar, candies, sweets ect
Secondly- cut back on bread dramatically- whole grains are great like whole wheat couscous, brown rice, qunioa, ect. But the bread needs to stop.
Third- alcohol- need to cut back dramatically. A nice drink out at dinner or for a celebration fine but day to day no.
Fourth- I remember the days when I had mornings more to myself - I was able to get up and workout to one of my videos and get a great jump start to my day- I need to start doing that again. As well I need to start doing yoga again- I feel so tight all the time.
Lastly- Less computer. Less TV. I’d like to start a 9pm shut off time. Close the computers. Turn off the TV. Read a book. Relax and unwind. Now I know for my hubz this isn’t always possible since work sometimes begins for him at that time if he has a release or something computer geeky I have no idea about. But for me that’s what I want to start to do.
Breakfast:
2 slice of whole grain bread, 1 small tomato, handful of arugula, and casear dressing

Lunch:
Leftover adzuki beans, collards and squash- about 1 cup
