Happy Saturday everyone. Weight is still going down at a snails pace but at least it’s going down. Yesterday I adjusted my calories according to my trainers recommendations and even then I used his lowest number. He said I should eat between 1730 and 2030 calories daily. I am not ready to even think about eating over 2000 calories. Nope. So I’m sticking to his low number. Let’s see how it goes. I also changed my macros to higher protein. I’m currently at 40% P, 30%C, and 30%F. These percentages are meant to help muscle gain and fat loss. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it works.
I don’t know how it’s going in everyone else’s neck of the woods but this corona virus situation has gotten quite serious in my corner of France. Schools have officially shut down until March 20th as well as all other places and events that would gather more than 50 people at once (libraries, cinemas, sporting events, etc.) this means my Zumba classes have also been cancelled. It’s going to be a couple of rough weeks for me here.
MARCH GOALS:
•Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
•Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
•Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
•Workouts -
Sun - Sunday Funday Walk
Mon - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻) + Monday Zumba
Tue - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
Wed - REST DAY
Thu - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
Fri - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)

Way to go on the loss! That’s scary with the virus. There has only been 1 confirmed case in the city I live in. Most of the confirmed cases in Ontario have been in the Toronto area which is almost 2 hours east of us.1 -

Charlotte, if you will touch the little star in the upper right corner of the page, it will make this page a “favorite.” You’ll find that just to the right of the Downsizers Team Chat March 2020 title. Once you’ve marked it, from your home page, look for Community tab. Then go to the star in the navigation bar at the top. When you hit that, you’ll see the name of this page. Hope this helps!

Happy Sunday everyone. Ok so....upping my calories and adjusting my macros seems to be doing the trick. I’m on day 2 and currently down 1.6 lbs. That’s 0.4 loss yesterday and then 1.2 today. This is hard for me to believe as I’m eating much more. Obviously the macro change is doing something as well as I’m now doing higher protein and less carbs/fats. I do hope I’ve now found the trick after 4 years of trying to figure it out. I’m excited to tell my Trainer tomorrow morning. I still have those little doubt muscles working in my brain tho but I’m gonna stick to it!
Another change I made yesterday is I’ve stopped adding any type of sweetener to my coffee. I’m now drinking it black no sugar. It’s gonna be a hard adjustment but I’ve been working my way to this by cutting back slowly.

•Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
