Rebound
Well, Thanksgiving has officially passed.
And must I say, yey? I didn't eat a lot of turkey like I thought I would, but the sweets were another thing. A true weakness, but its difficult. Even the urge to study for upcoming finals is leaving me..
Just 3 more weeks. And then this semester will really be over. I'm kind of glad because that way, I'll be done with my current classes. Looking back on it, I'm amazed at what I've accomplished, but of course there are other things I hadn't and still need to work on.
I didn't dare weigh myself, because why? Well, aside from avoiding the large numbers, I just wasn't in the mood to put myself down. Gaining weight is a high probability with me and I know it, but I don't want my Holiday to be compressed with a number and not a memory of fun family time.
So here I am again, back to admitting I have a problem and that I need to fix this problem.
Biggest Loser has been a wonderful inspiration and even though I sound like a fat person for saying it, they motivate me so. lol.
So, back to the Rebound.
I'm back on the Rebound.. Get it? Yeah, lame joke aside, I dug up some information and did a little research about the whole calorie deficient thing. It took some work but I realized what it means to burn calories at rest, as in how much you burn just based on your height, age and weight. (BMR?) And I figured out what it means for intake > calorie burned, so that if I wanted to lose such and such.. Weeell you get the picture.
My goal is supposedly to burn about 7,000 in a week to get a good flow of weight loss going. And well, it actually wont be too hard. I have a few DDR games I dug out this week and with my returning to class and school, I'll be able to dance my nerdy booty to some songs. One of them has a calorie counter on it, but I doubt its all that reliable.
So for the most part I'll just be aiming to start adding some exercises in and take it from there.
And honestly, I feel a lot better when I deal with numbers, I'm just a math-like type girl so when it was all broken down into equations, I felt really nerdy and of course, was able to see that it wasn't harder than I thought it was. Just will take some determination and now that I'm inspired, I look forward to see what numbers I can pull this week.
So, wish me luck!
