So, today, like every Friday, I had my weigh-in. Unfortunately, I didn't lose any weight. I guess the upside is that I didn't gain any either though? haha. Either way, it wasn't what I was looking for. I guess that's the price I pay for upping my calories from 1250 to 1550 to more coordinate with my BMR and TDEE (a little lower than what it actually is, but apparently it's okay to eat 200-300 below for a little while). I feel better and according to MFP I'm still on track to lose weight accordingly, but I do expect to be at bit of a standstill until my metabolism resets itself. I just wish it didn't have to happen. haha!
Anyway, I figure it's no good to sit and worry about something that I can't really change immediately, so today I continued to log my calories and exercise (I burned an impressive 620 calories at the Y today!) and made an attempt to pamper myself. I've already done my toes and I'm going to work on my fingernails next, oh and even fixing my seemingly unruly eyebrows. (Sorry to any guys reading this, it's probably kind of boring for you.)
It's not much, but it's something and it's making myself feel better. Oh, and I totally love Country music (don't hate!) so I've been listening to my Country Love Songs station on Pandora while doing all of this tonight, even right now! It's definitely a good way to occupy my time while my boyfriend Matt is out with friends tonight.
Oh and another mini-accomplishment: I registered for the Color Me Rad 5K tonight! I'm going to do it with some great people I've met on MFP in Jacksonville and that makes me even more pumped! Not to mention, it is my first 5K, ever. I'm so excited to have the experience under my (hopefully looser) belt, as well as make some great memories with some great people and get a really cool looking shirt out of it!
