Yesterday was one of my hardest days since I started. I've had some bumps along the way (such as not realizing that even a small amount of potatoes could mess me up), but I threw my calorie count to the wind and had the chicken wings I had been craving. I know that many don't bother with counting calories on LCHF, but I like to keep track of what I'm eating for a variety of reasons (which I wont go into because justification is unnecessary). Needless to say, I blew passed my 1200 intake goal (2202 for the day - yikes!). But I did work to meet my goal of a 1000 deficit. According to my fitbit tracker, I walked 12.54 miles (27,089 step) and burned 3,349 calories (including BMR). It was a lovely day for all of that walking, but I did have to pace around my house for almost 2 hours after I put the kiddies to bed. I thought for sure that my legs would be killing me today! I was a little sore when I awoke this morning, but I am fine now.
I did skip my strength and abs exercises, but I'm still trying to get into the routine of doing those daily. I was doing the 30 day shred (strength, cardio, and abs), but it proved to be too much for me (I collapsed 10 days in and thought I was having a heart attack - turned out to be costochondritis). So I switched to some strength exercises, a variety of crunches, and light cardio.
On the plus side, I had to attend an open house for kindergarten students yesterday (my twins are old enough to start school!) and I fit into a size 10 dress that I would not have been able to wear a month ago! Even with a 14lb loss, my clothes are starting to be a bit loose.
