I just logged my lowest weight since January 2013. In this roller-coaster ride that included daily weight check-ins and 1066 consecutive days logged in, I never got close to my original weight, but went down and up six times. The keys for me over these last two months are...
- Determine daily calorie limit and stay under it.
- Weigh daily.
- Eat nothing but a high-protein yogurt every morning. I recently switched from Noosa (8 oz., 280 calories to Siggi's 5.3 oz 120 calories) #lifewithoutbacon
- It's okay to have a small bowl of Special K Red Berries cereal as an afternoon snack.
- Don't eat after 7:00 PM.
- The joy of being fit far surpasses the joy of eating pie.
- Eat red meat once a week.
- Stay hydrated.
- Listen to my fitness band and get 10,000 steps per day and at least 150 intensity minutes per week.
- Strength conditioning - Silly me at first didn't realize the importance of this.
- Dress like I'm still in college.
- Include listening to today's music in my playlist. Yes, the eighties were great, but Nothing But Thieves, Cage the Elephant, Muse, etc., all sound great too. On a sidenote, I listened to "For Those About To Rock" in it's entirety the other night at the gym and weighed 0.6 pounds lighter the following morning.
- Continue to book gigs for the band... have to look good on stage.
