Wait before I post, who had open heart surgery? I did not follow that. Ok so last WEdnesday I had a breakthough. I realized that no matter how much I was excercising if I am not honest with myself about my caloric intake I am not gain to lose this weight. So right then and there I decided...it is 12oo calories a day. So for the last 5 days I've done it. I stared at 176 that day and this morning....I was 172. I exercised twice. I want to exercise 4 times a wekk to keep from getting flabby and to stay fit but I don't want to go overboard because something has changed in my body since the last baby and when I exercise too much I get ravenously hungry. I read and article that my friend sent me that clearly states ...you cannot lose wight with exercise alone...it take cutting back and eating the right foods. So that is what I am doing girls and I am on my way.....More later....I'll weigh in again next sunday and give you the update.
