The results are in and I lost 2.4 pounds in week 3!! I have lost a total of 9.3 pounds since I started this journey on January 1!
In week 2 I noticed my calorie deficit was well over 1,000 calories 4 out of the 7 days. In week 3 I challenged myself to stay as close to a 1,000 calorie deficit as possible. I increased my breakfast and lunch calories by approximately 200 calories each, which helped me a lot.
I love my fitbit and my fitbit friends that encourage and challenge me to keep active. My daily averages from my fitbit are as follows: steps 9,031; distance 3.95 miles; active minutes 31; floors 15; calorie burn 2,852; calories eaten 1,981; and water 90 ounces.
Week 4 goals: continue wearing my fitbit, continue tracking my food via LoseIt!, continue drinking at least 64 ounces of water, increase cardio to 45 minutes 6 days a week, keep my calorie deficit close to 1,000 calories, and take 10,000 steps 6 days a week.
I have made a lot of positive lifestyle changes over the last 3 weeks. I can tell a huge difference in how I feel each day. I am very excited about where my life is headed and how these changes are affecting me and encouraging others to make changes in their lives.
How did you do this week? What lifestyle changes are you making in your life?
Keep up the great work! And remember every journey starts with one step. What’s stopping you from taking that step?
