Thus began my calorie counting.... everything into my mouth costs some amount of calories! For the first few days, I really didn't do anything other than change my portion sizes. I didn't really find healthier foods to eat. But after about 5 days, I had an intense craving for celery (of all things!). Being a grocery shopping day, I bought celery and some light cream cheese. This was the beginning of my change to healthier choices. I now eat quite 7-8 servings of veggies & fruits in one day.
About the time I was craving celery, I kept hearing the voice in the back of my head to get moving. So that day I hoped on the treadmill. I walked 30-35 min at about 3.6-3.7 mph.... minus a warm-up and cool down. From that day, I have not stopped. I now walk on the treadmill 2-3 times per week {45-50 min; run for .5 mi @5.3 mph; climb 10% grade for 3-4 min; avg 3.8-3.9 mph}; I do intermediate mat pilates once weekly and 2-3 weeks per week I have now added Jillian Michaels 30-day shred for strenght training. I will allow myself one day of exercise rest per week.
