Spin Cycle Journal (Comments Welcome)

[C_leen]

Good Morning-

So my weight is still not reacting to any of this increased exercise. It has done nothing but go up since I re-started this journal.
Wt: 174.6

The good news is I'm up to 490/600 minutes for the month. I did 20 minute walk on Monday, 30 minute jog/walk on Tuesday, and yesterday evening I did a 40 minute spin session. Goal tonight is to walk/jog.

Food. I'm going to have to do a calorie count. I do not eat much at work, so my trouble is at night. I calculated a bassal metabolic rate of 1529 calories a day. To maintain my weight, I need to eat approximately 2370 calories a day. I'm going to try to stick at an 1800 calorie day and see what happens for the next 2 weeks.

Hello-

Got going with the calorie count. As I knew, my trouble starts at night.

This weekend was First Communion for DS and my parents were in town.

I did manage a 30 minute spin session on Sat.

Good Morning-

Very tired last night. Did not exercise. Went to bed early as I was craving sugar terribly.

Weight: 173.8

Skimmed through some of the pics from First Communion. I am not happy with how I look at all! Hope to print a few off for motivators...

Soccer tonight...

Hello-

Well I am loving my spinning bike. I can easily do 40 minutes now at a time. Now I'm trying to increase to ever other day.

Weight issues continue. I'm spendign most of my time tracking calories on Spark people, so I've been ignoring this free form journal. I'm clearly eating too many calories. Unfortunately I'm see sawing between good and days.

But I'm fighting the fight.

Hi there-

So my weight maxed out at 179.2 in August. All of that healthy snacking and exercise didn't stop the weight gain. I truly find Sparkpeople too onerous for calorie counting & did not stick with it.

So I found No S diet in August. No snacks, no seconds, no sweets - except for days that start with S or special days (birthday, xmas, etc). I am doing well now though my weight hasn't really dropped fast like I'd like it to.

I'm doing a journal there.

Peace to all!

Well, I have been on No S for a while, but I miss the DIS Board.

Haven't run much since the 2007 Lewis & Clark Marathon. I'm still having problems with plantar fascitis in right foot. Even spinning seems to irritate it. I'd like to run again.
