Somehow, my latest two journals got switched lol. Maybe that's because I skipped a day (sleeping schedules, don't ask lol).
When I was both doing aerobic exercise and weight training, I was maintaining my weight at around 1850 calories (I wasn't doing aerobic exercise every single day though). I think that I can say, with some confidence (not total confidence though, because a few days have past) that I'm losing weight on 1500 calories a day and a daily aerobic exercise routine. So I will raise my daily calories to 1600 and let a few more days pass. Once I reach my maintaining number I will then start doing weight training again and see how it affects calorie burning.
I haven't swum for a long time. I really have to start doing it also...
edit: Oops, my calories got a little out of hand on my lunch. Hopefully they will also keep me fuller for longer.
Thanks for accepting my buddy's request Skwhite! :)
edit: Sweet cravings have been less intensive both today and yesterday which is great! I won't start celebrating just yet though, since I have a feeling that it's not over yet heheh. since I skipped one day in fatsecret. This is day 10 without sweets, and there are 4 days to go. I can't deny that I feel very different in several aspects: My head feels clearer, sharper; I feel more energetic (today I went the whole day feeling super-energetic which didn't happen in many years (and absolutely no drowsiness in any part of the day, even after lunch; my skin looks healthier (especially my hands since I never needed to apply hydrating cream anymore, but I appear to also see skin and hair improvements in general (may be the placebo effect but I would almost swear by these changes). My bowels never felt bloated anymore; the food tastes much better now; I usually have a slight joint pain in my lets which I attribute to bad circulation but, since I went cold turkey on sweets, it's been slowly disappearing (another observation that may be due to placebo effect) I may be forgetting something but, generally speaking, it's like I feel 10 years younger or something. There is one thing though, I'm also exercising every day for almost the same time. Although I've been exercising for very long, I've only started exercising every single day practically since I started the sweet ban so I can't tell for sure if there isn't any advantage from that. Honestly though, despite all this though, sweets continue to be a tremendous temptation, now not so much with cravings but just purely psychological temptation. It's like, I can't think too much about them or I will find myself craving for them.
Today I think my legs (namely my right knee) have taken their toll from the daily indoor cycling session. I think that, to avoid skipping cycling, tomorrow I will do it really soft. It will be a semi-rest day lol. I just don't want to break routine because routine really makes it easier for you.
Today I won't be able to stick to the planned number of calories because I'm staying awake for longer :P
Shortly before I started to exercise every single day (not sure though) and also before I started the ban on sweets (also not sure), I became afflicted with a problem that I couldn't explain verbally or, even worse, identify. Luckily today, with some research, I finally identified the problem. I apparently have restless legs syndrome lol. Until finding out what the problem was I was extremely worried. Even cancer came to mind. Luckily this doesn't seem to be anything serious. I'm going to some more research about it to see if there are any solutions :)
I just found out that, despite the fact that exercise helps with RLS, excessive exercise can actually aggravate it. I'm going to have to interrupt my daily indoor cycling because of this, to see if I improve.
