Weigh In, Day 110 - Amber

Weigh In today was 141.6. LOL It's just doesn't go anywhere! (i guess there are worse things!)

Day 110 - Had about 1835 calories. We had homemade BBQ for lunch. So, I made myself and extra veggie kabob (should made 2 xtra but I didn't listen to my better judgment). Stayed away from bread. Had a few chips and guacamole. Salmon, and 2 small portions of sausage and burger. This meal kicked my calories up very high. But as I was counting, I also might have overestimated. I figured it was better to overestimate than under. I stayed away from sugar and only ate fruit or the granola I made with Agave. I did have a few sips of homemade sweet tea and some yogurt.

So I'm not sure if I'll ever get lower in my weight...I thought I could use about a 5 or 10 pound loss. But it's not changing much. Granted I did just give up in June (DANG IT!!!) Here's how my week's are looking:

I lift weights for an hour twice a week.
I swim and or walk for 2 to 3 times a week.
I eat from 1600-1800 (or try very hard to do this) calorie daily. I'm on the high end if I lift weight, on the low end if I swim or rest that day.
I stay away from refined carbs (white pasta and breads) and sugar other than fruit and some granola or yogurt.
I try to drink at least 8 glasses if water a day
I try to eat A LOT of veggies and fruit every day.

(Although the last 2 haven't been meeting those as well as I'd like.

So, I'm not sure, really if it would be healthy for me to drop 5 or 10 pounds. I feel like I'm taking all the right steps to be healthy and get in shape....maybe I'm just building muscle and that's why my weight is stagnant?? The internet...depending on the site, says I need anywhere from 1900-2100 calories a day to maintain. I have calculated my calorie needs on paper manually before and the number was 2050. So, I haven't decreased my calories a ton. But I was getting dizzy spells in April/Mayish from only eating 1500.

I guess maybe I'll continue this for another month or so and decide if something needs to be tweaked we'll see.
