Day 8 of the Life Change

Today was a hard day today. I have been sticking to my life change hard today and it back fired BIG TIME! I had just my shake this morning for breakfast and I got sick big time. I was nauseated and wanted to puke, but I didn’t. I got dizzy and had to take a nap, then got up and had a Sunny D. I can’t have Orange juice because of the acid it upsets my stomach. I am thinking of having chicken soup for lunch instead of the shake to feel better. Plus have the shake later before taking my newer car yet again into the shop to get fixed so I can get by until dinner.

See I have until Thursday before weighing myself after my 2 week of food changes. I am beginning to feel that I may not lose the weight, but I know I have too no matter what this time. I am sick of being this way. I will just have to get used to changing my eating habits and it is a hard thing to do. Anyways back to my worry, I am worried that I won’t get the result that I am looking for on the scale. See I have been going off my diet little and I know that is bad, that is why I am worried, but I guess If I don’t find the results I am looking for than it is another lesson learned and to keep moving forward. I noticed I do feel better when I don’t eat as much. I noticed that I don’t feel as tired after I eat. I don’t want to sleep more than 8 hours now. It’s more like 6 to 7 hours, if I sleep 8 hours now I feel tired, lazy, and don’t want to do anything. So 6 hours of sleep makes me want to get things done and start my day.

Which today I wanted to work out because every muscle in my body is hurting, not because of a cold because I didn’t work out yesterday nor today. I am trying to get my body used to not working out these days because of school next week. I am wishing to work out today, but I can’t tomorrow I can’t wait to work out. I think I am going to work out for 35 to 40 minutes. I am trying to slowly work my way up on working out so my body is used to it. Also trying to get some homework ready for classes next week so I won’t fall behind again this year.

I am also taking a tip from my friend’s blog and going to start leaving tips on weight lose and dating/marriage advice at the end of my blogs.

Weight Lose Tip: Most people will lose weight on a daily diet of 1,500 calories, which is the total calorie count for all the food pictured above. If you want to be even more precise about cutting calories, this simple calculation will give you a daily calorie goal that can help you lose a healthy 1 to 2 pounds per week.

Calculate your calorie goal

YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT X 12 = calories needed to maintain your weight

To lose 1 pound/week: Cut 500 calories/day
To lose 2 pounds/week: Cut 1,000 calories/day

Note: For healthy weight loss, we don't advise losing more than two pounds per week. If you calculate a daily calorie goal that's less than 1,200, set your calorie goal at 1,200 calories. Below that, it's hard to meet your nutrient needs—or feel satisfied enough to stick with a plan.

To create your own 1,500-calorie day, browse the breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner recipes below.

Breakfast
