Life Style : Weight Loss Journey 1 month update

Hello everyone. This will be a somewhat long post talking about my weight loss plan and what I am doing to try to keep it off.

Background Story :

• Beginning Weight : 165lbs
• Current weight 150lbs
• Height : 5' 4'' 3/4in (or 5'5" if you ask me directly!)
• Desired Weight : 125 
• 40lb to go from beginning
• 25lb to go as of now

I decided out of no where to start this plan to lose weight. I didn't want to work out for a long period of time and with the research I've done, I found that I could do it about 2 hours of active workout a week.

Workout plan :

• 5 minutes on the bike to warm up my legs.
• 15 minutes running on the treadmill at a speed between 3 and 5 with a decline of 3.
• 5-10 minutes on the climbing machine.

I follow this plan twice a week so I'll have about an hour of workout under my belt. 

I also have 1hr 30mins of ballet class on the days I am working out so the total time of being active is about 2hrs.

Now for my eating plan. This is where it gets slightly interesting.

I have the FitBit Flex which keeps track of my weight, sleeping pattern, steps, and calories.

I'm the type of person that needs to be reminded that I'm on a diet. The FitBit estimate that I should eat about 1,300 calories when I wake up. As I workout, the calories I'm allow to intake increases so it'll be easier on me and because the FitBit wants me to burn/intake a certain amount of calories.

I usually eat granola bar that has about 90 calories a bar. I have 2 bars a day and for meals I try to eat fruits or eat something I could easily track the calories. 

Now for the results, on January 26, 2015 I was 65lb. On February 26, 2015 I weight 150lb. This may not sound like a lot but the healthy amount of weight you should lose a week is 2lb and I lost 3lb a week resulting in a 15lb weight loss. It is a slow process but it's worth keeping if it means I can keep in shape and become more healthy.
