About this blog

This is a new decade for all of us and will be a new journey for me as I turn the corner on my forties into the realm of my fifties. Hard to believe. I invite you to follow my health and fitness journey as I reach my goal of wearing a size 10-12 while I am 50 years old. I know this will be a blog filled with joys, accomplishments, and probably even some setbacks, but the over all goal will be to keep going, keep moving, keep releasing weight to be a fit and healthy 50-year-old.

Planning and Super Foods

I think I am eating too many calories a day. This is what my big ah ha has been wearing the GoWearFit monitor. I realize that most days I burn enough calories – an average of about 2500 a day. But, I am not having enough of a calorie deficit on a weekly basis. So, my new plan is to eat 1500 calories a day, and burn 4000 calories. This will mean really measuring what I eat and staying away from too many carbs, plus upping my exercise. The most calories I burned in one day was 3892 - so burning 4000 is doable. I’ve got to kick this up a notch to beat my competition in the challenge. Also, I realize that …..I sound like I am repeating myself….but it is true. Planning is vital to my success in my journey. I keep getting away from planning. I guess it is just laziness. It only takes a few minutes to plan meals. I think it is part of my resistance to the process. So, here we go with planning. And, this time it won’t just be for one day! And, I will be adding in more of the superfoods that I wrote about in an earlier Blog.
