OK... here is my reporting in...... My BMR = 2083 + I burned 259 calories (50 mintues with Personal Trainer Heather ) - 730 less calories to get to my goal = 1612 calorie food budget.
Pre-Breakfast: 180 calories Nutz Over Choc Luna Bar & Water
Dinner: 283 calories Stir Fry of 5oz Chicken Breast, 2 Tablespoons Diced Onion, 1/4 Teaspoon chopped Garlic, 1 Cup Chopped Broccoli (floweretts w/tiny stock), 1-1/2 Tablespoons NEW Mrs Dash - Zesty Garlic Herb 10 Minute Marinade (no salt) & Water (I'm gonna need help with new ideas here....Per Trainer....no flour or starchy carbs for dinner, leafy-green veggies good..., must be low soduim)
Total of 1435 .....WAY WAY LOW, still playing with new meals ideas....but still in my food budget
I got on the scale this morning...
*note (more like a sad confession): I had put on the MAJOR POUNDS from about Oct to the end of Dec...ok..Jan 1, 2006...(17 to be exact , SOME but not all of that is from muscle gain) It showed in my face a little and in my tummy roll.... but the rest of me kept getting smaller (toned)..good thing I kept the gym up.... I just needed to keep up with the cardio and watching what I eat better...
Anyway.... since Jan 2, 2006 I'm down 7 pounds!! So, I only have 10 more to go to be back to where I was in Sept/Oct. IF, things go my way... I will be there by the end of Feb.{{crossing fingers}}
Everyone has their set backs.... and now I see this is just one more reason that I have to stay on top of things or I can slide backwards again so fast.
Thanks to everyone here who is so encouraging.... I NEED IT TOO!!
