RE: Red Hottie (serious talk only) 5th week
Jane & WW - I agree with the calorie count thing. I\'ve been sticking to 1200-1500 even though I\'ve been told for my weight and height I should be eating more. To me that is retarded. I am currently eating like a normal person should be, I never go hungry, am always satisfied because I\'m eating every three hours. It\'s all a matter of finding the balance that works for you, as long as it\'s healthy of course.
Nikki - I think that it\'s awesome you\'re going to be running in that 10k in honor of you aunt!
For my plan of action this week, same old same old, since I change things up from day to day and it\'s working so good still:
Calories: 1200-1500 each day while eating good foods, not empty calories. Also, VERY important, I will continue to not eat anything during the three hours before bed time.
Water- Continue drinking my 80 + oz. a day...I\'m actually up around 100 oz. a day now. I have a water with me constantly, literally. And on top of that, I will continue drinking my 2-3 glasses of diet green tea each evening.
Exercise - Begin each morning with 40 minutes strength training (monday, tuesday, friday and saturday I do them with resistance on 3; wednesday & thursday I do them on 4. Every day of the week my resistance for my crunches and side crunches is set to 7). Each day around noon-ish I\'ll get in 20-30 minutes cardio by alternating my \"Biggest Loser\" dvd workout, and a workout on my elliptical bike. Then in the evening I will get in my cardio via a 40 minute treadmill walk.
I hope I\'ve not forgotten anything!
