So today I think is another set back instead of progress made but I may make some good progress tomorrow as long as my choices for food and drinks today were healthy, which I can honestly say I think they were. I had to go to the dentist and get some work done on my teeth which resulted in not being able to eat for at least 2-3 hours and so I walked with just water in my back pack and I admit I should have had something to eat before going to the dentist.
Because I slept in too much I was in a rush to get to my appointment, I only had time to brush my teeth. Anyways, here are the results coming from my smart watch and I did take a different route this time:
- Total time spend walking: 2 hours & 39 minutes
- Total distance walked: 11.73 KM's
- Total calories burned: 1474 calories
- Average BPM: 124
I guess you might be wondering what I ate... well about 2 hours after my appointment the freezing in my mouth was starting to wear out so I had a 4-pack of those Strawberry Shortcake Jello things which was about 110 calories per cup and yeah that's not totally a good meal to have but I had to eat something to get some energy that wasn't a solid food and that's the best I could do at the time.
I also drank lots of water on that walk but I was feeling pretty light headed since I didn't have much to eat before hand. When I got home I had a whole box of Mac & Cheese (only because I needed to eat something that was easier to chew again) and then I had some Zevia to drink with it. I think the total amount of calories for that box of Mac & Cheese was around 850-900 calories.
If tomorrow's results on the scale are not any good, I may have to change some things I suppose. I am going to keep trying to push for at least a 2 hour and 30 minute walk every day and maybe even up to 3 hours if I have enough energy. Like I said in my post last Saturday, what the scale says every day is completely unpredictable and you can only try your best to get the best result and even still you may not be satisfied with the result after grinding hard and trying your best in one day.
But as long as you keep trying your best, you probably will succeed and that's pretty much what I have been doing so far and I've obviously seen really good results. Another thing that I learned many years ago and I think I mentioned this on my About page, is that you really got to push yourself and go above and beyond to lose weight by following a realistic plan to lose weight.
I mean like what I learned is that fasting until 1:30PM or 2PM in the afternoon and eating about 1.5 meals per day equalling around 1400 calories is what it's taking for me to lose 1-2 pounds a day (and on the odd days I gain a pound of two if I cheat on my diet too much).
When I first started out trying to lose weight I was just a kid and riding my bike for 1-2 hours a day and I was not on a diet (just eating normally) and I never saw results, other than stronger legs and that was about it. That was the first time in my life I realized what I had to do, through trial and error.
Other than that I think I should mention that my newest routine is fasting from morning until afternoon then for my first meal is a bigger meal at around 1:30PM or 2PM then I go for a long walk for 2-3 hours then come back and have a small 400 calorie meal just to give me a boost for the rest of the night.
It feels more like a 1.5 meal per day routine instead of a one meal a day routine, but honestly 1400 calories is what I should be having all in one meal all at once and anything lower than that is not really a good idea. And my meals aren't the healthiest so don't take notes on what I am eating but actually buy ingredients and make something healthy for yourself obviously. Anyways, I guess that's all I got for today... ciao.
