How do you figure out your Deficit?
First post ( YAY )
Im curious to others thoughts on excersize and the "calorie" deficit. Im getting frustrated as I have been trying for the past 2 weeks to do at least 3 hours of various activities throughout my day and that ball and chain (scale) will not budge out of the 220's. I have purchased great tools to help me along on my journey. This isn't my first time around the block and am fully aware of being over 40 blows, being "hypo" stinks, water retention, muscle weighs more than fat...etc...but how can you figure out your daily deficit. I want the scale to MOVE!!!!! When I get to "Onderland" it wont be as important I promise (ya right)..... so this is what I do:
Yoga for beginners and beyond IM IN LOVE - Begginers AM 45 min
Jillian 30 day shred - still at beginners level 30 minutes
The step body infusion which came with a stepper 3# hand weights a resistance band a 65 inch bouncie ball ^_^ and a DVD. The stepping part of the DVD is awful...it is for no beginner and is totally laughable ( gatta make sure the blinds are closed for that one ) but I do upper or lower 20 min's and core 10 minutes
and of course Old Faithful (treadmill) got cleared and dusted off 1 hr 3mph 3incline
....more yoga before bed I so love yoga!!! 30 minutes
So ya....why isnt the scale moving? Its been 2 weeks ... I'm not painfully sore anymore. I can "get out" of bed in the morning and not "roll out" I can actually sit on the toilet comfortably now ( LMAO ) and my knees and ankles are no longer swollen. My eating is totally at induction level, Im pretty confident that my protien/fat/carb ratio is in check as well ( again not my first time around the block ) Any suggestions? Too much too quick? Do more? do less? Keep doing what Im doing and throw the scale out the window? I guess I need to start taking pictures ( I am so NOT a fan of selfies ). It's so hard NOT to WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION!!!! UUUUUgggg.
Thank you for any suggestions or just listening to my rant.
