On an amazing note, I started with my bodybugg today! My first full day. To start it off, I put it on last night to track my sleeping. And, of course, my first night with it on I can't sleep. I don't know what my issue was, but for some reason I tossed and turned until about 3AM. The good news? I still managed 4 3/4 hours of "REM" sleep! Not quite my goal of 8 hours, but hey.. I'll take it.
I started tracking my calories burned, my exercise, and my calorie intake. And guess what it told me tonight when I plugged it in? I'M IN A WEIGHT LOSS TREND! Yeah, buddy! Let's see how this shows on the scale!
Tonight was my first challenge! It was, as they call it on the Biggest Loser, my temptation challenge. We had our Winter Guard banquet, and it was tough, I'm not even going to lie! I had a tiny piece of cake, and I stuck with the carbs because I knew they would fill me up and help me eat less. It worked! I stayed under my calorie count! :)
I did lose confidence in my ability to meet my calorie burning goal. I am supposed to burn 3500 calories a day, which to me sounded like WAY TOO MANY! But when I got to work out, I had already burned 1900 from working all day. I was thinking, hey, piece of cake! I will burn these calories with no problem. I got home from working out, and what do you know? I only burned like 500 calories in my 45 minute workout. I know it's a lot, but when you have 3500 calories to burn, it's a bit intimidating! So what did I do? I chased my dog around the house. We seriously ran laps around the house! LOL It was AWESOME!
Well, as per usual, I am going to end with a quote...
