Getting down about your weight loss/gain.
Through this journey that we are going on it is easy, so easy to get down at a spike in weight or a glance in the mirror that reminds us we are still fat. Well yep we are and yep we gained a pound from last week. Well what we have to come to is some honesty. Did we work out the hardest we possibly could? Did we eat a huge snack right before bed? If so, then its time to face reality. There is no one doing this to you but you. Once you have the initiative and drive to do this and do it right you will find there is no more failure.
Failure comes from accepting a state as being reality. If you worked out really hard, ate healthy and had fun doing it then it is not a failure. Who knows the 1 pound you gained could be you drank a huge glass of water that morning and are wearing a long sleeved shirt vs short sleeved.
Best way to weigh yourself is at the same time every day, naked, right after you visit the bathroom. You should get a fairly accurate weight. And, if, you really busted your butt and ate less calories than you burned then you should lose weight.
The miracle weight loss method:
No miracle here, you need to burn 3500 calories for every pound you wish to lose. If you are 100 pounds over weight you need to burn 350,000 calories. That is no small feat. It will take time and effort over a long period. You cannot lose that much in a week, 2 weeks even a month safely. It was put on slowly over time and will take time to go off. If you starve yourself your body will retaliate and at some point you will binge. I can only think of one way to do it safely and that is roughly 2 pounds per week. That is 7000 calories less per week or 1000 less per day. 1000 less is about 4 less cokes per day, 2 large fries per day, half a extra large pizza and so on.
To accurately keep track of the calories you are burning you need a tool like the Bodybugg as seen on The Biggest Loser. You can get it at Amazon, Apex Fitness ( the manufacturer) or 24 Hour Fitness. Its a bit pricey but it will be the best weight loss tool you have ever owned.
Here is my result from yesterday:
I am not eating enough but I am a vegetarian so what I do it is generally high fiber and fills me up. I would not be at 258 right now if it wasnt for the bugg.
Get one and get yourself losing weight.
