Slow and Steady

I moved back to Boston from New Orleans in September. I spent almost a year down there and slowly, but steadily gained 20 lbs.

At first I thought it was the food I was eating, but then I realized it was the lifestyle! I was so active in Boston - taking the train and walking everywhere. In New Orleans I drove everywhere.

The 20lb weight gain breaks down to an excess of only 250 calories/day - essentially the calories burned in my morning and evening commute! ...

Now that I'm back in Boston, I know the weight will come off slowly and steadily (just like it came on!), but I would like it to come off sooner rather than later. SO I'm supporting the active lifestyle with healthy eating.

Hey! I love how matter-of-fact you are about how 20lbs= 250 cals a day. So true! Sounds like you are well on your way to your goals!

I'm looking for another 8 pounds gone. Trying to be realistic and still push myself. I love cheese. And wine. And beer. So. This might be harder than it looks! Back to tracking everything that goes in my mouth.

I just HAD to leave a comment on your page! It sounds like you're my twin. I HATE restriction and I rather jump off a cliff than eat diet food. Salad for lunch? No thank you. I'm an "everything in moderation except beer" kind of girl. I'm on sparkpeople to eat the food I love, LESS, and MOVE more!

Best of luck to you!

xoxo
