Oops! I forgot to blog yesterday so I'm doing it today. I found some new strength and stretching exercises to add to my routine. They are the single leg balance, the step and reach across and the glute bridge. I also found a good warmup and cool down to add as well. I'm really happy with how my walking and strength exercises are going. Unfortunately, my eating is not on track.
So, I hate to do it but I think I'm going to have to start counting calories. I've been trying to manage my portion sizes but I'm not seeing any change in my weight, which tells me that I need to be more intentional. That's why I'm going to start counting calories. Once I get myself to be more aware of what I'm eating, how much I should be eating and how much certain not so healthy choices have, I'm hoping that will get me on the right track.
Another thing I'm going to do with the counting calories is lower my daily intake. 2000 calories a day is the average, so I'm thinking I'll drop mine to 1800 and see how that goes. I'm not looking for a quick fix, instead I want to make life changes so I can keep this up forever. And for now, the calorie cut is because I know that I need to take in fewer calories than I use up in order to lose the unwanted weight. I wonder if setting specific goals would help. Hmm? Maybe.
