I’m getting a divorce;I have to eat 1800 to 2200 per day!

I’m divorcing coffee!! That’s it no more Starbucks coffee every morning.  We make Starbucks coffee here every day.  No more coffee treats!  No more coffee at the movies!! NO MORE!!!!!  I decided to go cold turkey.  Boy I am so waiting for the headaches to come on.

My replacement is going to be more green tea and yogi detox tea (for my kidneys) with gogi berries.  Yep, my boss supports me and I hope he keeps buying more tea! Bring it on! :) 

I went to the gym at 6am and the BOSU Kicked my behind.  I could only afford to do 100 regular push-ups on that thing because the unstable surface worked my arse off!  And I used the black side to stand on versus the blue.  Talk about INSTABILITY!  I was sweating like a pig by simply standing on it doing my weights.  Then to do squats with upper body on the BOSU oh my I was floored.  Then I did some ball exercise.  I was too tired to even attempt a run and I was running out of time.  7:15am - have to be home and ready for work by 8am.

Today I have a 3 mile break/lunch walk planned as well as kickboxing or ZUMBA.  After I entered all this info in SP gave me another warning - I have to change my goal to  meet my actual exercise.  In doing so it tells me I AM TO EAT 1800 AT MINIMUM!!!

Now I see why I was not losing weight and plateaued for so long.  I was restricting my calories too much. 

I feel like a kid in a candy store……seee child - go ahead and enjoy!!! Oh I will enjoy!!

The joys of eating but of course it will be good stuff for my body.  I’m just happy I have a lot of room to play with food.  I hope by doing this I curb my night time eating issues. 

 I wonder if I put my exercise in for tomorrow it kicks me into the 2000-2500 calorie range?

    ROFL! I recently divorced Cappichinos! Bad part is, the “ex” lives just across the street from my house. As soon as I step outside, the song “Baby come back” sounds out in my head. I ignore it, We needed to go our seperate ways. Our relationship was on the negative side. I’m proud to say, even tho’ it makes me sound like a “bad girl”, I’m romatically involved with tea and water. Why not explore the opptions when you’re “new to the dating world” right? Best of luck to you. You can do it. I hope you have caller ID so that you can screen the calls the “ex” will make.

    If you drink a lot of coffee you may get headaches, but since you drink tea, maybe not. Good luck!!!
