1st Day UNDER my allowed calories! Woo-hoo!

Phatmomma

O.k. so how lame I know. But this is the first time I have been under my required calories.:bigsmile: I was so full and I actually didn't eat the ice cream I wanted to. I made vegetarian vegetable soup for the girls and I. We all drank water too! They got to eat sweet cakes and pretzel with cheese for snacks-but none for mom! I went straight to my cardio for an hour! It hasn't been a week yet and I see my abs starting to peak out! I am totally serious! I have been doing 300 crunches almost every day and I think I am ready to bumb it up to 400. Plus I have been doing knee raises and calf lifts at my desk. This is a big step for me, just doing it. Sometimes I'm so tired from work and the girls and the stress of LIFE:sick: anyway that is my virtual pat on my own back!

Congratulations! Just make sure you're not too far under

Thanks I think I should have phrased it better. What I meant was I USUALLY go OVER the maximum calories lol:laugh: So I'm stoked that I actually didn't yesterday and in fact was 200 calories under at days end even though I ate 2 good meals and snacks. I just replaced GUILT of knowing I ate too much with EXERCISE and not worrying about the extra slice of bread... !

Good for you !!!! I have been doing this about 10 days now, and only once have I not gone over my allowed calories. So I know what a great accomplishment it is. Keep up the good work :drinker:

Way to go.

Thanks everyone. Yep it's great to be under even if it is 1 cal lol. I almost maxed my cals out already with breakfast at Hardee's this morning. But still my body is changing and going back to pre-baby I hope. My butt is less jiggly and my thigs less lumpy tee-hee.
